Nowadays, the problem with piracy of games and their hacking is quite common. That is why all the companies involved in the development of video games in the world try to use various third-party applications to protect their product.
Do not stand aside and the 4Game playground. At her disposal is the Frost Seccurity program. It is she who is the third-party software that helps protect the game from hacking. However, sometimes it harms ordinary users as well. It is for its reason that players get error 1073 in Point Blank.
In the article we will just talk about this error. We will analyze in detail why it arises and how to deal with it. And since there are usually several solutions, we will analyze them all.
Reason for occurrence
Now let's talk about why error 1073 appears in Point Blank. The fact is that the Frost anti-cheat system is independent. That is, it is entirely possible that a conflict arises between it and the operating system itself or the software. By the way, it is precisely because of this conflict that the error status 1073 Point Blank arises.
Of course, you don’t have to rush to blame the 4Game playground. Most often the player is to blame. Conflicts between the 4Game anti-cheat system and the Windows operating system most often happen because the latter is an unlicensed version. In simple words, most players do not buy their Windows, but download pirated versions through Torrent. These versions are most often lite versions, which means incomplete.
The first way to solve the problem
If error 1073 occurs in Point Blank, do the following:
- Go to the official Microsoft website.
- Use the site search to find update KB3033929.
- Start installing this update.
As you can see, the instruction is quite small, but in 100% of cases it will help you get rid of the problem. By the way, during the installation of the update, difficulties may arise. For example, error 0xc8000247 appears. To solve it, you need to enter the "Windows Update" and set the status to "Running." If installation does not continue for another reason, upgrade your Windows build.
The second way to solve the problem
If you used the previous method, but the error 1073 in Point Blank still remained, then we will move on to the second option.
