"The process failed to start."

If you are unable to start the game, and the error message "The process failed to start." appears, the issue may be antivirus software blocking LifeTO. Please note that LifeTO is not malicious software, but is detected as such due to the packing software we use to protect our code.

To resolve this issue, please add an exception to the LifeTO game folder, and then add Trickster.bin to your antivirus' exception list. If your antivirus is not listed below, try searching for "add folder exclusion to <antivirus>" on your favorite search engine.
