Game Crashing - General Description: Players sometimes have random situations where the game loads or even fails to load. Fix: these have often been resolved through adding the game executable to DEP (Data Execution Prevention). *Process - Open "Computer" then right click -> Properties -> System Protection -> Advanced -> Performance -> Data Execution Prevention then "Add" the executable for the game. Not the shortcut but the .exe file.

Game Crashing - when trying to start Skirmish/Host MP/Start Camp Description: The Game loads and no matter what resolution or settings are used, if you try to start a Campaign, Skirmish or Multiplayer game and get as far as selecting your profile, the game crashes to desktop immediately once you click "Enter the Game" or "Start Game". Fix: 1. Open Regedit 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers 3. search for the game executable and and insert a SPACE between two words in a registry key: ''before: DISABLETHEMES HIGHDPIAWAREDisableNXShowUI after: DISABLETHEMES HIGHDPIAWARE DisableNXShowUI'' 4. now start the game and it will no longer crash.

GameRanger Hosting Problems Description: You are able to join game sessions, but cannot host any of your own even though the port forwarding in your router is set up correctly. Fix: Try deactivating compatibility mode in Windows 10 by right-clicking 'The Moon Project.exe' and unchecking the appropriate section in the application properties. There is a high chance GameRanger is unable to set up the virtualized TCP environment, because it gets confused about what operating system the game is running on.
