Cabal Wont Start after Launcher

[xBreedx]

So I click on "cabal start" on the launcher and it goes away as if the game window is going to appear but instead I get a message box saying that cabal online has stopped working. Does anyone know wat the hell is going on? ):

Turn UAC (User account control off), goto installation directory of cabalmain.exe and right click then -> Properties -> Compatibility tab -> Run as admin checkboxed, Do this for "cabal.exe, cabalmain.exe, and update.exe". Goto Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Data execution prevention tab -> Fill in circle for "Turn DEP on for essential windows programs and services only".

Lastly disable/add exceptions in your anti virus programs, un-installing them usually will give you much easier picture if its the AV causing the problem, but ofc make sure you have the disc to re-install if you choose. Btw are you on a desktop or laptop with which operating system?

Can you dl teamview so I can see your screen, it shouldn't be hard fix. We can troubleshoot it in two hours or so if you want just post back here if you want to or pm dont matter.

i have the same problem too

I would suggest trying the steps in the other thread, I've only had one instance where I couldn't solve the problem using that thread. All I would do in teamviewer is actually make sure the steps were done thoroughly.

fixed
