The loader does not run on startup

Fixing loader startup issues

No response from the loader / Loader disappears from Task Manager after 3–4 seconds. First, identify the problem:

• The launcher.exe process disappears from Task Manager after 3–4 seconds.
• The launcher.exe process gets stuck in Task Manager; the loader does not open.

Security warning: VPN use and firewall changes can affect privacy and system security. Use trusted software. Avoid permanently disabling firewall protection; prefer allowing only trusted applications through Windows Firewall, then restore protection after testing.

#Process disappears from Task Manager after 3–4 seconds

1. Restart your PC and try again. In rare cases, a simple reboot fixes the issue.
2. Install the latest DirectX libraries: Download DirectX
3. Use a trusted VPN before launching the loader.
4. If firewall blocking is suspected, follow firewall troubleshooting instructions and use the least-disruptive option available.

#Process is stuck in Task Manager for an extended period

1. If the process appears frozen in Task Manager, leave it for 5–10 minutes. This is normal and is usually caused by slow file downloads from the server.
2. To speed up the download process, use a trusted VPN or follow the video instruction for switching the server.
3. If firewall blocking is suspected, follow firewall troubleshooting instructions and use the least-disruptive option available.

Sometimes starting diagnostic mode also takes time. Do not close or restart the loader—each restart interrupts the loading process and starts it over.
