If Hackshield is not running or completing its updates, it may be due to conflicts with third-party software while playing CSN. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Ensure that you are logged into an administrator Windows user account. If problems persist, shut down Steam and relaunch it by right-clicking the Steam desktop icon and selecting "run as administrator."
- Check if any third-party detection software is conflicting with CSN and Hackshield. Disable any anti-virus, anti-malware, or firewall programs, then close Steam, restart it, and try launching CSN again.
- If issues continue, try playing CSN with all other programs closed on Windows to determine if there is a conflict with a background program.
