this is what you need to do if renguard/renegade is not responding,

press crtl.alt.delete, end update.exe,
try it now and it will update,
then launch gain and....VOILA

Go to your renegade directory and delete d3d8.dll

then it still says:
Warning: No WOL name found. Connecting to WOL will probably fail.
and screen stays black when loading renegade

the d3d9.dll is the only thing that causes the renegade screen to stay black afaik.

The other renguard message means you haven't logged into Xwis (Wol) yet. When you log in, it won't say it anymore.

The WOL name not found wont be a problem, you just need to login to XWIS, and then exit renegade and renguard and load both up again.

I had this problem before, it was caused by CP2 overwriting scripts.dll 3.x with the CP2 scripts, which dont have shaders. Either download the latest scripts and install the 4 .dll files ( scripts.dll, bhs.dll, shaders.dll and d3d8.dll ) or download 2.9.2 and install that, deleting shaders.dll and d3d8.dll first.

That's XWIS, not you.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

That's patch 1.037. The auto updater doesn't always work well. You can get it manually from ftp.westwood.com and need to install it before you install renguard.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I had the same problem so I went into the add/del programs and deleted rengaurd - restarted my computer then when I restarted renegade the renguard updated and the next time I restarted it worked (with renguard). I did not reload renguard btw.
