Hello, I’m encountering a startup error that prevents me from launching the game. Each time I try to start it, I receive a message saying: “Please close the ACE-BASE application before starting the game.”

I have no idea what ACE-BASE is or why it’s interfering. I checked Task Manager and tried closing background applications, but nothing helped. I’ve also followed every potential fix I could find on Reddit, YouTube, and other online forums—but the issue still persists.

This has become very frustrating. I just want to play the game I paid for without unnecessary technical barriers. Please provide a proper solution or release a patch that resolves this conflict. It’s unreasonable for a background or unknown application to block access like this.

    In the past, I used to deal with DLL errors

    Can you elaborate on that? You weren’t downloading DLLs from the internet were you?

      No, I was talking about older games. In older games, the solution was simple — just downloading a DLL file was enough. But unfortunately, in newer games, it’s much harder to fix the errors you get.

      And thank you for trying to help.
