What are app.ini Error Messages?


General app.ini Runtime Errors

app.ini file errors often occur during the startup phase of Garena+, but can also occur while the program is running. These types INI errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Garena+ is running. Here are some of the most common app.ini runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\ProgramData\GarenaMessenger\app.ini

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most INI errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your app.ini file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Garena+), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, app.ini file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Garena+, system crash while loading or saving app.ini, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your app.ini issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve app.ini problems.

If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download app.ini Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying app.ini to your appropriate Windows system directory. Garena Online typically does not release Garena+ INI files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing app.ini and all other INI files for Garena+. An incorrectly installed INI file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
