[Update]

We have been informed that a number of users are still experiencing issues after adding the game's folder and files to their anti-virus software's exception/exclusion list. After looking into these reports, we confirmed that the game executable may also be prevented from launching by tools that change the process priority for specified applications.

If you are using such a tool and are still unable to launch the game, we recommend trying to launch it without the tool.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and support.



[Original Notice]
We have confirmed some launching issues affecting some users after updating to Ver. 12.11.00 (released at 0:00 UTC Thursday, March 12) that may be attributed to certain anti-virus software preventing the game executable from launching due to a false-positive error.

If you're experiencing these issues, please see troubleshooting step #2, "Add the game's folder and files to your anti-virus program's exception / exclusion list", at the page below.
