Common Problems
Valor's Auto updater might trigger Anti-Viruses because it remotely fetches our valor.zip and unpacks it. If this is a problem, you may update manually.
Some anti-viruses claim it as a false positive due to it not being signed, try disabling your AV if it doesn't work. You can check the code or just run it Sandboxie if you really want to.
If you're getting a black screen (pure black, no 'loading...') install Visual C++ from Here 32 bit or Here 64 bit
