Description of the issue:
I figured out an issue with Brave and “nProtect Game Monitor Rev 245”. As soon as “nProtect Game Monitor Rev 245” is running, Brave doesn’t work anymore. No pages are loaded anymore and it’s also not possible to open the browser configurations and so on. As soon as “nProtect Game Monitor Rev 245” is stopped, Brave works like expected again without restarting it.
@lordhexa,
You might try disabling Hardware Acceleration and seeing if that has any effect? If not let me know and I’ll ping a Dev who I believe is versed in this type of issue.
You’ll find this in Settings --> Additional Settings --> System --> Hardware Acceleration
This has been reported with a few other anti-botting softwares, unfortunately. They must not know what Brave is - so they’re trying to block access (since it’s a potential “threat” for botting)
Usually, those services are very weak. They often just check the executable name… which means you can rename brave.exe as chrome.exe and it would work just fine. The real fix would be to contact the company who owns the software and try to get them to create an exception for Brave. I’d be happy to open an issue if you can point me at a place to do that (not sure who owns nProtect Game Monitor or if they have a home page?)
So the main company is https://incainternet.com/en/index.html and the product name is “nprotect gameguard”. Not sure if you will have success with contacting the company, but why not give it a try
