Nope, but "by default", I would have some. IV should be informed of that imho

-edit- thank you Steve, by the way. \o/

The instructions I posted earlier Have you tried reading this ? Well, I didn't know before so no, I install it via Steam in Secure Mode, which one step higher than Clean PC mode. BUT : via Steam, installing a game ask nothing from the firewall. So I didn't touch anything since the firewall asked no...

No (secure mode), ??? (which instructions ? from the webpage I didn't know before ?), no (steam doesn't pop up the screen I guess. But if I saw it, I set it.).

Going to work

Have you tried reading this ? You probably shouldn't call it BSOD, that's reserved for the Blue Screen of Death. A much more serious problem. Ok, thanks. With Darwinia, I "black screened of death" again, but in an original way : - relaunch the game - firewall ask for the second time if I ...

Uplink bsod-ed... So I hard-reset my machine again. Then I set Comodo in installation mode and launch Uplink -> Uplink work fine. Then I quit the game, I set my firewall back in normal mode, bsod again. Uplink (and Defcon in the auth key/first launch process) have a clear problem with the defence+ c...

It's strange it worked. :? And now both problems are solved. What I did is download last videodriver, put my firewall in "installation mode" while updating it. I was logged out from steam. Double-clicked Defcon from the desktop, log in steam, launch the game ok, with the firewall still in ...

ANYWAY The problem is, as the title of the thread suggest, auth keys in steam, not this firewall. I have to check a few things with it before. Maybe it's too paranoid, esp the def+ component which I could turn off. You're completely missing the point of an underlying problem. Why come here looking ...

First, update your graphics drivers and DirectX. If Defcon and/or Uplink still black screen with the firewall enabled try using compatibility mode. You're all blocking on this problem, it's funny. When my firewall is off the game work just normal, so it's not a driver problem. I'll update anyway bu...

By the way, I have the exact same black screen of death playing uplink with/without firewall. Are you using Windows' compatibility mode? No need when my firewall is off. Uh... Compatibility mode and firewalls are completely unrelated. Firewalls, of course, relate to internet access, but compatibili...

Thank you for the IV contact link, I'll try that too. I've updated my post while you were writing this one, so there's some allready said things in this one. My fault. (...) Anyway, it's comodo, I'm on Win 7 64. The main problem is the key. Firewal pb I don't really care since I ahve a solution. The...

Well, I tend to become sarcastic after paying a try-to-make-it-work game, 7 hardreset, three hours of trying to fix it all by myself, and when I see dozens of people over the internet having the same problem as me, and not having a usefull solution since monthes... Paying for a free demo, i'm sorry ...

It seem to be a very common problem. I bought it today, and had a few problems with it. First, I had black screen of death with my firewall on, which forced me to hard-reset my computer 7 times until I understood. So I put the firewall off. I really feel confortable with a firewall off, that is sooo...
