I tired to run CH9, and got an exception error. I tried to overwrite it with the CH9 Patch, but still got same error:

Game won't run

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Before loading the script.

Hi, I just woke up. This is the first time someone report about this error. Is it still occur? Do you have a discord? I’ll assist you on that and see why it happens.

Thanks. I redownloaded it, and it seems to be fine now
