Launcher issues

[Darvus Laan]

I can't get the launcher to do much except give me errors. Fully removed and reinstalled. Issues remain.

Installer asks for install directory, so I use the default. Launcher installs correctly, but once launched, it does nothing. I clicked "Verify" and it said the install directory was empty and to fix it. Fixed it and got the error below:

Clicking OK, then OK, then File -> Verify gives the same error.

Trying to select anything from the Manifest list gives this error:

This means that something is blocking the connection out to this website from the Launcher.  Usually that's some Anti-Virus, or FIrewall.  I've only been able to reproduce this by breaking the network connection of the launcher as it's loading.

I hadn't thought of that! However, I checked and even with a specific rule to allow connections, it's still happening. From what I can tell, the launcher is refusing to read the config.json file. All the settings are correct in there, but they don't show up when I open the launcher.

I've double-checked permissions on all relevant files and folders as well as the registry... unless there are missing lines or registry keys, it's all correct.

For comparison, the Homecoming launcher works just fine. Both Victory and Homecoming are in the C:/Games/ folder. Permission settings are identical.

If the connection to the server doesn't succeed the config isn't read, I need to fix that but the root issue is you're not getting the bootstrap.xml from the server, so the launcher stops all processing.
