Game not launching after smartguard

Hi, so I had to repair some system files today and then tried playing gamez but its not working at all. After I click start on the launcher, the smartguard shows up with a timer on it and after couple mins it shuts down. The error message given is "Cant find running client. Try start game again."

I played the game fine yesterday too and didnt have any issues. I have the launcher and game folder in antivirus exceptions too. Same with my IP, not using any vpn while I tried it. For some reason it seems the game just doesnt run after smartguard.

Any advice or tips?

PS: Added screenshots.

 

Check your task manager and make sure gamezbd is not running before you start the game. Also try to change the game path, in most cases it's the solution.
