    If you have turn the protection on again, you can see the blocking events in the events window from the main screen, that should tell you what actions of pinnacle game profiler are being blocked so you can now what to exclude.

    thanks for the reply so far i have tried :-

    finding main executable and adding as a power app - but still refuses to run

    finding main exe and adding as a guarded app and allowing memory read and writes - still wont run

    each time the appguard log shows some errors and the associated files, but even after finding and adding those files as exceptions it still wont run

    but when setting appguard to install mode it runs

    will support deal with or just give the usual response that its a 3rd party program and out of their control, and most likely suggest i take it up with pinnacle.......who will then pass the buck back to appguard and i end up in an endless loop :(

    I just received your support information. I will be responding via email. But basically we will need to see what AppGuard events are happening when your game is blocked.

    just a brief update. it turns out i was adding the wrong .exe file by mistake :(
    , as soon as i added the correct .exe as a guarded app the problem was solved and now all appears to work as expected
