|-------|----------------------------|
| "Failed to start scaling" | Run Lossless Scaling.exe as Administrator (right-click → Run as admin). Portable apps often need this for hooking into protected games. |
| High input lag | Reduce the frame generation multiplier (use x2 instead of x4). Ensure MaxFrameLatency in Settings.ini is set to 1. |
| Game crashes on hook | Switch capture API from DXGI to WGC (Windows 11) or vice versa. |
| Settings reset on reboot | Your Settings.ini may be read-only. Uncheck that property. |
