Hello, where can I post my crash report on Arch based OS to help with development?
EDIT: I posted into the channel "bug reports" on discord :)

Thanks for the report, discord is a good spot, I'll take a look

How do you run it ? i don't understand how can i work the gam

Once you download it, unzip the file and double click "launch_valo.bat" Sometimes a security message pops up the first time you run it. If that happens you just click "Run Anyway" Here is a video of how to run:

Strangely a error message appeared and said :

Hmm, sorry that it isn't working! Does it happen every time you launch it? Any chance you can send that log file to me? ("07-03-2023_13-53-45.80.txt" in the "log" folder
