+ | From the above guide and comments, I was able to fix the game crash after some trial-and-error. I have a new hybrid-core 12th gen cpu so I also set the "ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU" to 16. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For the tool: Search the web for adk-install (direct links might give old versions), look for "Download and install the Windows ADK", select the correct version for your operating system (Windows 10/11), ignore the PE download.

+ | |||
+ | To apply the fix: | ||
+ | #Open the new app "Compatibility Administrator (32-bit)" | ||
+ | #Right-click the current database under "Custom Databases" and rename it to something like "Game compatibility fixes" | ||
+ | #With that database highlighted, click "Fix" | ||

+ | #Scroll down and click the checkbox next to ProcessorCountLie | ||
+ | #Click Parameters while ProcessorCountLie is highlighted | ||
+ | #enter 16 into the "Command Line" field and click OK | ||
+ | - Repeat the above 2 steps for ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU if you have different types of processor cores (like Intel's E and P cores on 12th gen processors) | ||
+ | #Click Next | ||
+ | #Click Finish (optionally click "Auto-Generate" first.. it adds uplay_r1_loader.dll to it.. not sure if that makes a difference) | ||
+ | (*If any mistakes were made, simply go back to the entry under Applications for Child of Light, right-click ChildOfLight.exe and "Edit application fix") | ||

Issues fixed
"Your CPU is Outdated" error
- The game checks for some SSE4 instructions and if it fails, it shows an error message and refuses to run. The game doesn't use those instructions beyond that test, so bypassing is quite safe.
Bypass CPU check[citation needed] |

Infinite loading screen upon the game start without having to full system cap CPU thread count
On a system with more than 16 processing CPU threads system to run game 1-time configuration and no full system cap[2] |

From the above guide and comments, I was able to fix the game crash after some trial-and-error. I have a new hybrid-core 12th gen cpu so I also set the "ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU" to 16. For the tool: Search the web for adk-install (direct links might give old versions), look for "Download and install the Windows ADK", select the correct version for your operating system (Windows 10/11), ignore the PE download. Run the program and ONLY install the application compatibility toolkit. To apply the fix:
- Repeat the above 2 steps for ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU if you have different types of processor cores (like Intel's E and P cores on 12th gen processors)
(*If any mistakes were made, simply go back to the entry under Applications for Child of Light, right-click ChildOfLight.exe and "Edit application fix") - SAVE the database - either using the Max Payne guide's suggestions, or just save it as whatever and name it whatever you like. - Right-click the database you renamed earlier, and click INSTALL Now the game should run. As noted in the guide, the compatibility layer will be in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Custom
