Hi! I'm having an issue launching Empress Pokémon 2D Arena on Windows.

The game was working fine yesterday, but Windows Smart App Control suddenly started blocking it. I downloaded the latest version (2.6.0) from your official itch.io page and reinstalled it, but now I get the error "Failed to load il2cpp" when launching the game.

I checked Windows Event Viewer and found this message:

Code Integrity determined that a process (...) attempted to load GameAssembly.dll that did not meet the Enterprise signing level requirements or violated code integrity policy.

I also scanned Empress Pokemon 2D Arena.exe with VirusTotal, and it returned 0 detections out of 71 engines. The executable doesn't have a digital signature.

Could you check whether GameAssembly.dll or the game executable needs to be signed, or whether there's an issue with the latest build triggering Windows Smart App Control?

I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks for your work on the game!

i think you could try disable windows smart app control,then re download the game,it should work then

No need to. Just restart your PC.

Just restart your pc it will work.
