You people have great patience I won't lie, I mean your waiting weeks to play something you payed A lot of money for, and the fact that Taleworlds has been "Working" on this and yet it hasn't been patched is absurd. I mean sure there are sometimes other greater problems, and sometimes bugs can take A while to solve but it has been seen for weeks, they have already fixed A lot of Crashing, and they know this is also A decently sized problem that the game won't launch, So the fact that this is still even in progress is A joke. I feel as its been abandoned, but good job on being patient, I adore that trait.
I remember when I was actually able to play the game, man those days were buggy but fun! Then it just decided it won't work, so I've been waiting A while as well, I can play the game through having to maze through folders but then I can't do much other than the base game, multiplayer doesn't even work while opening through there. I've just decided to stop mazing through folders and just wait until the launcher works.
