How to Disable the NGM?

[Raisinets]

Hi there! I'm just wondering if there's a way to disable this game messenger that keeps on showing you what other people are doing as well as what you're up to.

If I rename NMService.exe in the Vindictus folder, a "Failed to Log In" message pops up every minute or so, which is quite annoying. From time to time though, whenever I log out and then log in, I somehow disable the messenger by accident.

Is there a command to just disable the messenger from working at all? Maybe there's another way to disable it without having that error pop up every minute? Thanks in advance!

You want to block NMService.exe, do it by blocking it on your firewall settings

This does not do anything, I tested it with two accounts and I still saw the pop-ups.
The best thing to do is to edit your host file.

Oh you mean the one where we kinda redirect it back to 127.0.0.1 or something like that? Can you please tell us how to edit the host file properly to block NGM? Thanks again in advance
