Hello. A lot of people don't know how to download A.V.A on Steam if it's regionally blocked there. I found a solution! One simple step.

Download A.V.A from here.

Before you call me a stupid cunt, let me explain how to do it properly: when A.V.A is successfully installed, add it as a non-Steam game in Steam. That's it! Steam achievements and stats somehow work! Huzzah!

Doesn't that game install a rootkit and keylogger onto your system?

You're a moron. Quote from the same thread: "GameGuard is well known among the
free to play community. Not everyone
likes it but it is effective in keeping
hackers from free to play games like
Ragnarok, Gunbound, etc in taking
advantage of the gameplay. We have
VAC, they have GameGuard. It will
ONLY run when you run a game that
uses it, Thus it will not mess with your
other games.
It's NOT a key logger in a sense what
most of us think what a key logger is. It
doesn't record your keystrokes and
sells the information to other
companies. Come on, you know better
than jumping into conspiracy theories.
It's a anti-hacking program that
prevents you from playing their games if
you are using a program the game deems
"hacking software material" for that
said game. That is what the so called
"Key logger" looks for when you are
running their games. If you are going to
moan about GameGuard, you aren't the
first and you are 7 years too late into
the party.
If GG is so bad, why is it even in a game
that Valve allowed to be hosted in
Steam? Maybe because Valve
acknowledges the effectiveness of GG
AND it's a well known reliable Anti-
Hacking tool that smaller companies can
afford in such a low budget and can't
develop their own in-game anti-hacking
tool like VAC is to Steam.
But sure, if you are THAT paranoid, no
one is stopping you from removing it
after you get the knife, you are free to
do that.
tl;dr yeah it's a dumb program and eats
memory and stuff but it's not super
malicious nor can it be equated to
malware or something".

Not the point I was trying to make.
The game uses an exceptionally intrusive anti-cheat that doesn't work and lingers on your system after you uninstalled.

Yes, insulting me is a great way to get your point across after editing your post.
It's clearly a great anti-cheat seeing as how AVA is hacker free (cough) and you need to edit your registry to completely get rid of it.

You're a paranoid moron, to tell the truth.

For some reason I really enjoy this game, but the hackers eventually made me quit... I can't believe the devs are adding new content but not fixing the hacking problem. Makes no sense at all.

I never saw a hacker in A.V.A. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Doesn't work. You can install it but you can't play.

"nProtect GameGuard (sometimes called GG) is an anti-cheating rootkit developed by INCA Internet. It is installed alongside many Asian massively multiplayer online roleplaying games (MMORPGs) such as Rohan: Blood Feud, Lineage II, 9Dragons, Cabal Online, Phantasy Star Universe, GunZ: The Duel, Flyff, Rappelz, Luna Online, PangYa, Prius Online, Ragnarok Online and Alliance of Valiant Arms to block malicious applications and common methods of cheating. nProtect GameGuard provides B2B2C (Business to Business to Consumer) security services for online game companies and portal sites.
GameGuard hides the game application process, monitors the entire memory range, terminates applications defined by the game vendor and INCA Internet to be cheats (QIP for example), blocks certain calls to DirectX functions and Windows APIs, keylogs your keyboard input, and auto-updates itself to change as new threats surface"

You're a little late to call GG a keylogger.

So, I realised that some people are paranoid pussies. Don't want a good game? Okay.

a step back... and literally fuck your own
