Launcher not working properly for me

Post by Rangoon »

I have a feeling this may be on my end somehow. I am using version 1.20. The launcher initially would correctly open the manual (in Acrobat Reader). However, lately it has not been working. In Task Manager, I can see instances of Adobe Acrobat DC under either Background Processes, or sometimes within the Launcher tree under Apps. But no Reader, no PDF manual. I also have noticed that the Support and Forum links go to an error page on the forum that states "The forum you selected does not exist."

Is something corrupt with my Launcher? Should I reinstall? Or are these just bugs?

Thanks!

EDIT: I should point out that I can still open the manual directly from the PDF itself, but only after ending any/all processes initiated by the Launcher via Task Manager.

I suspect it is some quirk on your end.

You say you can access the Manual directly. You can also access the Manual successfully from within the game engine and editor EXEs, yes?

The Matrix/Slitherine Launcher EXE can be wonky. If everything else seems to be fine, I wouldn't advise reinstalling on account of this difficulty only.

I can, yes. From within the game engine, it opens up with Sumatra PDF.

Okay, thanks. I will leave things alone for now.
