Launch client is missing tabs + weird crash


(EvoSteven) #1

Participating in a draft match.

5 versus 5. Suddenly 2 people drop out of my team. Well, the server disconnected and the game froze up after everyone was running into walls (disconnect). Luckily, we’re both on TS.

Closed the game and the game client pops up with no error message (closed the game myself).

Refresh server list, all EU servers take longer to show up in the list, and after showing up they do not have a player amount nor any ping. All the other servers look fine.

Refresh a lot of times. I decide to close the client and restart it. The other guy on TS with the same problem kept refreshing.

Start the launcher but it doesn’t show up. Go to processes in task manager and the process only shows up for a second or two.

Now this is where it gets even more interesting. At the EXACT moment the other guy said the EU servers worked again (listed decently with ping, player amount and he was connecting), my client pops up.

New problem, the client I have doesn’t seem to have a PLAY and LOADOUT tab anymore. Restarting 20 times didn’t work. I let it verify and then I press LAUNCH GAME. There everything worked and I was able to join the game again.

I’ve got a single picture about the launcher with missing tabs (attached) but it’s verifying. After verification it still doesn’t show the tabs. But I can launch the game and from there select a server. I still have this problem now.

These tabs were removed from the launcher two builds ago.

If one person has the connecting problem then a couple of others usually do as well, it’s SD systems playing up.

Happened to a few of us on Friday night as well.

The picture you have is what everybody is getting since the last update: you have to launch the game to have access to the barracks and the servers list. It’s supposed to be a temporary thing while SD reworks the launcher.
