			Here is a new section I propose adding under "Bootloader Problems,".

			## Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense Blocking HorizonXI Launch

			Some players using Bitdefender may experience an issue where HorizonXI appears to start, but immediately closes before the game window appears. The typical symptom is:

			After clicking Play HorizonXI and then Launch, a command prompt/console window flashes briefly for about one second, then disappears. The HorizonXI Launcher may also close afterward, and no game window opens.

			This can happen even if HorizonXI has been reinstalled, installed to a different drive, run as administrator, or if legacy Windows components such as DirectPlay have already been enabled. In this case, the issue may be caused by Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense blocking HorizonXI’s boot process.

			The important detail is that simply disabling Bitdefender may not resolve the issue. Instead, you need to add Advanced Threat Defense exceptions for the actual HorizonXI boot executables, not just the launcher.

			Add exceptions in Bitdefender for the following files inside your HorizonXI installation folder:

			```text
			ashita-cli.exe
			horizon-loader.exe
			```

			The second file is usually located in the HorizonXI game folder under:

			```text
			Game\bootloader\horizon-loader.exe
			```

			Make sure you are adding exceptions for ashita-cli.exe and horizon-loader.exe, not only for the HorizonXI Launcher itself. The launcher may start normally, but Bitdefender can still block the underlying Ashita/bootloader process that actually starts the game.

			After adding these exceptions, restart the launcher and try launching the game again.

			In short: if the launcher opens, a console window flashes, and then everything closes with no visible error, and you are using Bitdefender, check Advanced Threat Defense first. This issue can persist even if Bitdefender appears disabled, so proper executable exceptions are required.
