AttentionHorse 2 Posted July 14, 2014 Every single one of my friends has the same problem: we click the "Open Launcher" option, then we can see the Launcher on our taskbar but can't do anything with it - it's just constantly minimized and the only thing that we can do is close it. It's a shame, I really wanted to use it. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serapaxson 10 Posted July 14, 2014 I recommend you don't use it unless you want to experience blue screen of death crashes when you click multiplayer :/ the game is currently unplayable and is utter bull**** i recommend you stick to not using the launcher.

Hieumungous 10 Posted July 14, 2014 Is there any fix for the bsod when clicking on multiplayer? I tried before using the launcher and was getting bsod. The launcher does work for me though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starky396 1 Posted July 15, 2014 Mine works... Well sort of. The launcher launches with everything running, except the visual display. All the buttons work along with the cursor, but there is no visual display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
becario 1 Posted July 15, 2014 Launcher is working for me... or sort of... It does run, but the I click on "Play" and it crashes. Plus there are no addons in the addons tab, and it says "Steam is in offline mode", but my Steam client is online and showing my friends activity and so on.

katipo66 94 Posted July 16, 2014 It doesn't work for me either, and crashes when I click play, it does work for others though so must be something common amongst us, or with our systems that cause it, too tired to think bout it now, not that I'm overly worried about it.

OMAC 254 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Launcher is working for me... or sort of... It does run, but the I click on "Play" and it crashes. Plus there are no addons in the addons tab, and it says "Steam is in offline mode", but my Steam client is online and showing my friends activity and so on. Same for me. No Workshop mods visible. At the bottom of the Launcher windows it says Steam is in offline mode, which isn't true. Then I get a popup window: "Error - Steam service unavailable. Please make sure Steam Client is running." If I click OK on error window, launcher exits/crashes. But the game will start if I click Play. Edited July 17, 2014 by OMAC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rydygier 1317 Posted July 20, 2014 Well, there was a request, I should upload some of my mods to Workshop. So tried that new launcher. I got minimized icon after a while, that I can only kill, and that's the only functional interaction with it. Now I read, it's probably good thing, that saved me further frustration due to other malfunctions. So, seems, I'm just another user with this problem. I hope, all this will be fixed soon.

RSF TheCapulet 59 Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Any update on this, BIS? Hasn't worked for me since day 1 release on dev branch. Still the same experience in subsequent updates (and stable branch, ofc), and a reinstall. I've even been contacted directly from a BIS dev asking for error logs. Yet quite a while after it's official release, it's still not working, and there's still not been one bit of info about it. (or even a "known issues" update) Sure, I don't need it. But it's certainly frustrating when I have to direct connect to someone else's PC, just to gather screenshots for our groups tutorial on it. What's more frustrating is the radio silence concerning it. If it wasn't done, it shouldn't have been released.
