Unable to Start the Software
DANGER
Sometimes it may be flagged by antivirus software. Please add it to the trust list and re-download and extract.
Missing Important Components
Solution: Close antivirus software. If it cannot be closed (such as Windows Defender), add it to the trust list and then re-download.
Note: To achieve HOOK extraction of game text, it is necessary to inject Dll into the game. Files such as shareddllproxy32.exe/LunaHost32.dll implement this, and therefore are particularly likely to be considered as viruses. The software is currently automatically built by Github Actions. Unless the Github server is infected, it is impossible to contain viruses, so it can be safely added to the trust list.
For Windows Defender, the method is: “Virus & threat protection” -> “Exclusions” -> “Add or remove exclusions” -> “Add an exclusion” -> “Folder”, add Luna's folder to it
Error/PermissionError
If the software is placed in special folders such as Program Files
, it may not have read and write permissions. Please run with administrator privileges.
