Can't even start the game.

[DosDeosos]

Stop working after the moment i pressed start. Atelier works fine for me 100% no issues.

I try all that Microsoft Redist thingy and follow the Readme guide but nope everything doesn't seem to change.

LOL. You have the same CPU I do and it suggests that, regardless of OS, it might be related to a maximum number of CPU cores supported.

I'm on Windows 7.

Edit: I'll see if I can write a dll fix for this...

...and now fixed. The cheap and dirty exe hack can be obtained at:

The general idea is that somehow they messed up multithreaded loading. This seems to hit 16 thread systems some of the time (ie. crashing 50% of the time on startup), and my 28 thread system all of the time.

The workaround is to patch loading to not be parallelized. As with the previous CPU use bug, they messed up the OpenMP in some way that breaks parallel loading on many-core systems (ie. above 16 threads). There's a penalty for this - loads may cause the game to stutter somewhat... but that is better than crashing.

感謝百合姬大大，使用你的方式後終於可以執行遊戲了，看來這遊戲對多核心的CPU會有問題

[SpeedHK]

It not working for me. I already try CNN fix in my old computer and it work but this time I have new computer the game won't start.

My legit hero, the game finally opened for me after replacing these files.

Can confirm this fix works for

Windows 10
Operating System: 64 Bit / x64-based processor
Processor: AMD 7 2700x eight core processor
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070
Memory: 16.0 GB

This needs to be pinned for ♥♥♥♥ sake, I was pulling teeth because this game worked just fine on my old beat-up HP but wouldn't on my new rig.

Works for me ^^ Thanks a lot UwU

Download the zip file and just replace the CNN in the file of your game by the new one from the zip

not to res the chat, but I just felt i needed to thank you! your hack/mod thing fixed my issue immediatly without fault. game went from the launcher then clicking play just making it crash, to launching and playing fully like a working game. thank you so much! you're a life saver!

Anyone have any luck with this method on Steam Deck? Swapped out the exe but still crashing before even booting up the game.

[百合 姫]

It shouldn't be needed - they recently fixed it (according to patch notes)

[Synwithyn]

Links no longer work. If they did patch it, I still have issues. Rog Ally X.
