literally nothing works

[hindercanrun]

GLOYKB first thing you can do is post a screenshot of the error message
that’ll help you a lot
and the launcher itself has no issues
it’s ur pc that is causing the issues.

[Resxt]

GLOYKB can you describe your problem better?
Also press win + r type winver and screenshot the window that pops up.

And yes everyone who says the launcher doesn't work and believe the software is at fault is wrong and has no idea what he's saying. If you run an OS that's not supported then it obviously won't work

[Dss0]

Resxt he said he's on win11.

GLOYKB i don't see the word "degenerate" used anywhere. You forgot to mention what the actual issue is in your post, does the launcher just not start? Does it display an error message? If yes post a screenshot of it.

Have you also installed these?

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

[ljave018]

GLOYKB maybe you got special unicode characters in the name of your PC?
Characters such as š,đ,č,ć and ž, and lots of characters in French, Portuguese, Spanish and so on cannot be recognized, and would be registered as empty rectanges or bunch of question marks.

[hindercanrun]

@ivanovich_ same for emojis?

[ljave018]

hindercanrun I think so.

[GLOYKB]

Resxt - removed because it shows your email, windows 11 v21h2 - fine -
when i try opening the exe nothing happens

[GLOYKB]

Dss0 sorry you're right the exact word degenerate wasn't used ill make sure to be much more specific with my next issue.... anyways when i open the exe to install the launcher nothing happens.

[GLOYKB]

hindercanrun thats the entire issue, theres not even an error msgs

[Dss0]

GLOYKB try to start the launcher then search for "event viewer" in the windows start menu, open it and go to windows logs -> application. Check if any errors came up that are related to the launcher, highlight them and screenshot all the details it displays on the bottom of the window.

GLOYKB ok, a strange crash related to fonts. Try this:

1. Search for "services" via the windows start menu and open it
2. Look for "Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0" in the list of services
3. Right click the service -> stop, if it's already stopped just skip to the next step
4. Look for "Windows Font Cache Service" in the list of services
5. Right click the service -> stop, if it's already stopped just skip to the next step
6. Hit Windows Key + R and paste this into the run box that comes up:

%windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache

7. Hit Enter and a folder should open
8. In this folder delete all the DAT files ("DAT File" listed as the file type)
9. Go to C:\Windows\System32 and delete "FNTCACHE.DAT"
10. Restart your PC and try again

If it still doesn't work:

1. Open the start menu and search for "cmd"
2. Right click cmd -> run as administrator
3. Copy and paste (right click) each command below one by one in the cmd and press enter after each command
   Only put the next command when the one you ran is finished.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

4. Once it's done restart your PC and try again

[GLOYKB]

Did all of the above and still no fix

[Dss0]

GLOYKB do you have any custom fonts installed? Is your system font the default one?

[GLOYKB]

Dss0 default font

[Dss0]

GLOYKB then i'm out of ideas

[hindercanrun]

GLOYKB have you updated ur pc to latest

[GLOYKB]

hindercanrun wow man i really dont know what plutonium would do without you

[FragsAreUs]

I personally would check to see if your install is not corrupted in some way.

if you can do a

sfc /scannow and or DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

In a admin command prompt or powershell

as I play on windows 11 and I don't have this issue and it seems as dsso said a unique crash

[GLOYKB]

FragsAreUs Dss0 already recommended that, didn't work
