    THIS! needs to be fixed or refund the cost of the BILLION mesos chair.. this is ridiculous to have to constantly sign on over and over again. Why are we getting this issue, this is my 7th try to stand in the pixel coin area only to DC for this bogus hacking error. Why is Nexon not addressing this issue ? It's impossible to play the game! Take the game down and fix it or take it off line but quit ignoring everyone its so frustrating!

    The game is lagging so bad that I can't even gather daily pixel coins without major lag spikes. The monsters stay still for 10-20 seconds, then I am accused of hacking by the GM police, even though I did no such thing. Does anyone know if the servers are lagging this badly or if it is the real hackers moving between the channels or something?

    I got message “ Illegal program or malicious code detected. The game will force quit.” I just let my characters be afk to get pixel coin..... What is wrong?

    Hello, unfortunately it is happening to me too. It started about 1 hour ago, and now the game will not even let me in after entering my PIC.

    This is my 3rd time IN A ROW after yesterday's maintenance that I've crashed with this Illegal Program bug while playing monster drop minigame. Please! The only thing I can think of that is causing the crash is maybe Steam since that's the only app I have open. But I run the client through Steam....

    This was happening before maintenance, but now after maintenance it's much much worse. Now I disconnect to this "illegal program" junk every five to ten minutes on both my main desktop and kishin laptop with no other programs running on either.

    Yup. Literally happens to me multiple times every single day. I don't know what causes it but pretty sure it's a bug, so if you are getting it you probably shouldn't be alarmed.

    They are just failing in an epic way at answering concerns. The mass disconnects and lag spikes are plaguing us all. Don't worry though! I'm sure Nexon will patch something else that isn't affecting the entire player base in the next go around and we can deal with it some more!

    Since maintenance, I've had the following message kick me off to the desktop anywhere from 0.003 seconds of logging in to 30 minutes after:
    Illegal program or malicious code detected, the game will force quit.
    But what? I've now run the game right from restart where just the launcher and game were running, to having it run on steam or both with just Firefox. I've run multiple antivirus scans and its always the same, at random and without warning, the game closes and I get that message.

    Nexon, I think you broke the game badly this time. Might want to look into it. Yes its the weekend, but something has to be wrong when your game thinks the windows operating system itself is an illegal program or malicious code.

    Another person here with complaints about constant crashing with same error code as the people above. Standing AFK, bossing or doing dailies, doesnt matter I keep getting the crash. Had it occasionally since I started playing again early April, but after the latest maintenance its happening every 10 to 15 minutes.

    I'm honestly not sure if I received this message before the last update (my connection is instable in general ever since we moved to an apartment) due to my game crashing like at least once a day, so I usually just click away the crash message and log back on. But this issue became kinda more clear for me in the past 3-4 hours. I let my character stay afk in the Pixel Sauna for at least half an hour and when I came back it crashed. No big deal, can happen with my connection. But then it crashed again. So I reset my wifi. Then it crashed again, which is unusual for me even with minor connection issues, and I actually read the crash message for once in months and got hella confused.

    I believe the GMS Discord announcement refers to another log-in/connection issue because I'm from Europe and didn't even change regions today...

    Good to know I'm not the only one with this issue and there's a bunch here and on Discord. But it honestly sucks because I had to always check on my game while doing the laundry, and then stand there for like 5 minutes just to log back in.

    Gonna try doing my dailies now, so hopefully it won't crash-
