Instruction needed for the Failed to patch AquaMai.Mods.GameSettings.ForceAsServer error

[sexyxlyWAol]

I updated my Windows today, and was not able to launch the game after that. I came across your telegram group and found a new build of auamai.dll, but it still did not work after I installed it.

我今天更新了 Windows，之后就无法启动游戏了。我偶然发现了您的电报群，并找到了 aquamai.dll 的新版本，但安装后仍然无法正常工作。

I think it should not be a VC or DX issue, as other versions of the game are working fine, this version was working before I updated Windows as well. I have reinstalled those runtimes but still not working, if it indeed is a runtime issue, it would be great if you could give me some instructions.

我认为这不应该是 VC 或 DX 的问题，因为其他版本的游戏运行良好，在我更新 Windows 之前这个版本也可以运行。我已经重新安装了这些运行时，但仍然不起作用，如果确实是运行时问题，如果您能给我一些说明就太好了。

Thanks.

I tried these but still did not work:

1. reinstall the game
2. update maichartmanager and reinstall aquamai inside that
3. move the game to C:\

除了上述之外，还尝试了回滚系统会23h2，白名单杀软后重装，仍然是相同的的报错，不知道各位有没有解决方案。不然我可能得周末重装系统了。（之前交issue的电脑没有中文输入法，见谅）

[mos9527]

这里遇到了相同的问题，挂了调试器发现竟然是RTSS钩子导致amdaemon_api无法正常加载（）

关闭RTSS/Rivatuner Statistics Server（来自MSI Afterburner）后得以启动
不知道你的具体情况如何；不过排查下涉及侵入式全局hook软件（如RTSS，杀软等等）也许可以解决问题

[sexyxlyWAol]

也许是RTSS的问题，因为我有MSI的驱动。不过我通过重装系统解决问题了。
