ffxiii-2 game will not launch

[dannydorrito]

hi im having an issue where after starting the game from the launcher it just does not start at all, any help would be appreciated

[dannydorrito]

the zip also shows a s a trojan in windows defender???

Please try the newest
version, and post the FF13Fix.log if it doesn't work.

As for Windows Defender: If you downloaded the zip from the Github page, it is a false positive. I've tried to report as false positive in https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission/, but they keep complaining that I'm using a work email, even though I'm not (@Nucleoprotein can you try?). You are, of course, free to analyze and compile the code yourself.

I had the same problem. The problem seems to come from the launcher itself, I tried with a custom launcher and the game launches fine with the desired options and FF13Fix.

Not sure why though.
