Hey everyone, first time poster here. I've got what is probably a very simple issue that I hope someone could help me with.

I'm trying to launch Blade And Soul, the new NA version. Problem is that if you try to launch it directly from client.exe, it'll tell you to launch it from the launcher. If you try to just launch from the launcher, it gives you an error code.

After a little research, I found out that the error code could be eliminated by adding the proper commands in with the launcher as required in Windows throughout all regions, including Japan and Taiwan's clients.

I was hoping that someone could tell me in the most simplistic way possible how I could add this launcher option into PlayOnLinux so that it launches as it would within Windows.

The command:

Sorry about the format there. It's supposed to look like this.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NCWest\NCLauncher\NCLauncher.exe" /LauncherID:"NCWest" /CompanyID:"12" /GameID:"BnS_CBT" /LUpdateAddr:"updater.nclauncher.ncsoft.com"

Configure button > (select shortcut) > General tab > Arguments

So I post that whole string of text into Arguments?

yes, everything after the program name

/LauncherID:"NCWest" /CompanyID:"12" /GameID:"BnS_CBT" /LUpdateAddr:"updater.nclauncher.ncsoft.com"

Hey Petch, I'm back but I'm afraid I have bad news. I've been able to progress further but there's still one big hurdle limiting me. nProtect GameGuard. Is there any workaround for this that you or any of the other gurus know of?

There's a lot of fuss on the net that I've seen with people saying GameGuard simply will not allow games that use it to run on Linux. If I can just bypass this, everything else will run beautifully.

Giving help to get around DRMs is illegal in our country.

According to the AppDB, that's the end of the road.
