## General
### The main window isn't showing
It's probably in the system tray (near your clock).
Besides that you might be missing [Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 64 bit](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679), it's required for some API's we use.

### My custom G810 profiles have gone missing since 1.4.0.0
This is because the G810 and G910 no longer share the same profiles (with Logitech's new SDK the G910 now has more LEDs)
To get your old profiles back you can import them from the editor using the # **import profile** button. They are stored in:
`<User folder>\Documents\Artemis\profiles\logitech-g910\<Module name>`
Artemis will give a warning saying the profiles aren't meant for the G810 but they will work just fine.

For online games, the way we read in game values is generally by means provided by the game developers, with the exception of Rocket League (although I've used it for over a year and nothing happened). So it can't be considered cheating.
For offline games it doesn't matter, so we just use whatever is easiest for that game (mods, memory reading etc.)
### What about Rocket League, then?
Rocket League currently doesn't really provide a way to get ingame values, so we use memory reading for that.
Using this hasn't gotten me banned, but it's still at your own risk. Employees at Psyonix have noted that this should not get you banned as you do not modify any game information.
I have reached out to Psyonix and they are looking to provide a better way and they are looking into this (no promises though!)
### Can the program disable itself when I'm not in any of the supported games?
Yes, just disable all the regular effects. Do note that overlays like Volume Display won't work either.
