I had the same issue. I might be wrong, but I think it has something to do with SARD. I turned on a VPN before launching the game, the error did not appear, and the game started normally. The game seems to be working fine after that, even without VPN.

Try launching the game with a VPN on, see if it helps.

Found a fix by myself. Just browse the local files, Go to Binaries Folder > SARD > Delete the SardUpdater.exe. Run the game normally.

I also have that problem, I can't access the SARD website https://www.sard.ac, I'm using my cell phone data to start the game and then connect it to my home wifi, that's what works for me at the moment

Is this valid fix considered of deleting something from SARD ?

Not that I hoped it didn't work out, but I was expecting this considering deleting something from SARD might be risky as f***, I literally know nothing about such so it might sound stupid for those which knowledge is way beyond mine.

No one replying from support. It's one month I created support ticket. I think even support doesn't have solution for this problem.

Hey HamzaAfzal! I had a similar issue with SARD awhile back, and for me it was a whole process of elimination to solve the problem. Not sure if this would work for you but, for me, I found that some 

antivirus or firewall settings—like BitDefender or DcVPN—can block SARD from doing updates or preventing you from logging in. I had to temporarily disable them for a short amount of time (scary, I know) and try updating again SARD again. When that didn’t work for me (it worked for one of my friends), I discovered some of my files were corrupted. I used the APB Launcher’s Repair Game Files option, which normally fixes anything, but not this time. So, I decided to uninstall and reinstall SARD—a very dangerous decision as it can cause so many issues. 

 

Now, doing this can cause a whole set of issues, like needing admins privs' to install or launch SARD so make sure it has administrator permissions along with making sure you have the latest windows update so you dont get any errors and make sure you have a stable connection because if it stutters or you lose connection to re-install or update SARD you will have to do this whole process all over again. This can also cause APB to not load up and you just get a crash error, so do it at your own risk.  Alright so... if you do decide to go down this path, here’s what I did:

 

1) Ensure Windows is fully updated and your internet connection is rock-solid, or you'll risk starting over from the very start or freeze locking your PC. 

2) To uninstall, navigate to the APB directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\APB Reloaded) and find the SARD folder. Then open Control Panel > Programs and Features, find SARD Anti-Cheat, and uninstall it while not being in the APB Launcher or game. 

3) After that, delete any leftover files related to SARD to avoid further conflicts.

4) Once that’s done, you can reinstall SARD. I recommend downloading it directly from the official APB website or the official SARD website (not the launcher—it caused login issues for me, but you can still try). Finally, restart your PC, cross your fingers, and try logging in again. It’s a process, but if it worked for me, it might work for you too. Now if for some reason that doesn't solve your issue then you better hope the APB gods help you because I am at a loss at that point.

I have been having similar issues, and I have tried what was suggested above but no luck. Is there any progress on this topic?

Not to bother, but not taking care could also be an answer, sorry. :<
