running error :( what's the problem?

Ack, wkWormNAT2 initialization error!



wkWormNAT2 failed to install the network API hooks it needs in order to work.

This could be caused by several reasons...

If you're running an anti-virus program, it might be blocking wkWormNAT2.

It's possible that you need to be a system administrator to run wkWormNAT2.

Maybe there's some other software incompatibility with wkWormNAT2...

The exact cause can't be determined.

Anyway, try rebooting and disabling your security programs.

BitDefender is known to prevent wkWormNAT2 from working, and cause the "Ack, wkWormNAT2 initialization error" message.
  • This happens even if the antivirus is turned off and the game directory added to exclusions; the antivirus must be completely uninstalled to prevent this problem.
  • A workaround is to copy this file to the installation directory of the game to trick BitDefender into not blocking it.
