well if you have replaced to your login.dat with original one i posted in 558 thread and also added that cibryl reg file in registry ...then it should connect to offical server (unless their servers are down at that moment) and start updating...gameguard doesnt matter it will re-download it anyway...so if your hosts file is ok and there isnt anytihng else ryl stuff than nprotect line then i cannot see why it wouldnt connect. If that all is ok but it still wont connect, i probably just would remove/reinstall client.Maybe foolish to ask but what cibryl reg file and from where to where?
