Troubleshooting:
Please,change boot mode to UEFI in BIOS Error
The computer can boot in two modes:
Modern "UEFI" mode: supported by almost all computers after 2010 release;
"Legacy": for older computers running
How to change BIOS from Legacy to UEFI?
there are many descriptions on the Internet, instructions on how to do this
Example: https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt?source=recommendations
Open command line.
In the "Run" window, type the cmd command (you can also do this through the task manager) - open cmd (command prompt) as administrator.
Copy and paste the following command: mbr2gpt.exe /convert /allowfullOS
After we turn off the PC and go into the BIOS.
How to enter the BIOS?
You need to press a certain key on the keyboard, or a combination of keys, it depends on the computer manufacturer.
To go to the BOOT menu on a desktop computer, press the Del key at boot, in rare cases - F2.
The parameters we need are in the BOOT section, at the top of the list. We go to this section, and look for the "Storage Boot Option" parameter - set it to "UEFI". There should also be a parameter "Other PCI devices" - also set to "UEFI".
Note: if you did not find these settings in this section, most likely the manufacturer of your motherboard has moved these items somewhere or have a different name. In this case, do not worry, just go to Google and write the following query: ("name of the manufacturer of the board / model" legacy to UEFI)
Restart your system and try again (Hyper-V) Error
Go back to step 7 of the guide. You did not disable Hyper-V
Please, disable Secure boot in BIOS Error
Go back to step 6 of the guide. You did not disable Secure Boot
Please, enable Vt-x in BIOS Error
Go back to step 2 of the guide. You did not enable Virtualization
(Game Launcher Name) has been forcefully teminated! Error
Do not try to load with game open or launcher open.
The error means that the Launcher software closes the game process - because you have a software launcher open - because it is impossible to launch the Launcher of the game when the Launcher of the software is open
Note: you cannot run the cheat launcher when the launcher and the game are open and running and when the game is open
Attempting to do this can lead to a ban. You should always restart PC and make sure games/launchers are fully closed before opening the software's loader.

Dev Error
Many people think this is a cheat error, but they are wrong!
Most often, errors appear after game updates (sometimes the next update helps).
Some proven fixes and causes:
Lower graphics settings – the game is experiencing a RAM leak, which can only be fixed by the developers themselves.
Disable cross-platform support in the game settings.
Disable "overclocking your PC" in the BIOS and your graphics card settings.
Very important: disable background applications such as MSI Afterburner, AutoHotKey, EVGA Precision X1Punto Switcher, and ASUS GPU Tweak II (if enabled).
Try disabling AMD Radeon Relive (or any other Radeon app) in the bottom right corner to make sure it's not there.
Similarly, disable the "Nvidia Control Panel" near the clock.
Disable "Game Mode" in Windows 10, if enabled.
Reinstall shaders – there's a "Reinstall shaders" option in the game settings.
Check the game for broken files, and It's better to delete the game files except for the folders (they weigh 200 MB), but they will be redownloaded and perhaps the ones you need will work.
