ESET NOD32 Antivirus

SSL Scanning results in UberNet connection failure. Disable this feature to avoid the problem. See: [1]

Kaspersky Anti-Virus

SSL connection scan result in UberNet connection failure. You need to add PA.exe to a list of trusted applications to avoid the problem. Use this "Google Chrome" instruction: [2]

Norton 360

This anti-virus might enforce some sandboxing rules that can make game crash. You need to check its rules and make sure both PA.exe and CoherentUI_Host.exe have "allowed" rules set.

F-Secure

Seems to prevent certain DLLs from loading and causes a black screen in PA. Disable the services F-Secure DLL Hoster and F-Secure ORSP Client.

ASUS GameFirst III

May cause horrible network lag with both online and offline servers. This software somehow effects the way networking works and it also effects connections to loopback interface (127.0.0.1) that's used by local server. For more information, see: [3]

MSI Afterburner

Causes in-game freezes or black screens.

A known workaround is to create a profile for PA.exe in the Rivatuner Statistics Server and switch the OSD rendering mode from the default Vector3D to Vector2D. Should be fixed in RivaTuner Statistics Server v6.3.0+.

Logitech "Process Monitor" setting in drivers

May prevent PA from starting. It's part of Razer Comms, but the service can be disabled separately.

If you don't have any software on this list, then please try to do a clean boot. That will start Windows in a mode where no background programs are running, disabling any software that could possibly interfere. Instructions can be found here. If PA functions normally in that mode, then you have found an interfering program that is not on this list yet. Please make a thread in the Ubernet Support forums.
