Game still works fine if I launch with Tequila. Same here. I can do a fresh install...and it works great...until I try to launch the game again later....then I get "Could not load bootstrap package....."

City Council Number Six Posted November 9, 2020 Author City Council Share Posted November 9, 2020 Can I get a launcher.log (from the logs\launcher directory) from either of you with the bootstrap problem? Best to PM that since it might have file paths that contain your windows username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Council Number Six Posted November 9, 2020 Author City Council Share Posted November 9, 2020 Looks like it's failing to rename launchercli.exe in place after an update. The download is successfully, it just can't install it. I know we've had some AV false positives on that file (Bitdefender is the one I remember). A little weird since it does nothing except run the main launcher with a console window attached, but for whatever reason they don't like that. Any way to check and see if there are any recent applications blocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I jumped through hoops yesterday to temporarily shut down Bitdefender so I could reinstall...I got this: Feature: Online Threat Prevention We blocked this dangerous page for your protection: http://cdn.homecomingservers.com/hc/launcher/2744/win32/launchercli.exe.xz Accessed by: launcher.exe Threat name: Gen:Variant.Fugrafa.6013 Dangerous pages attempt to install software that can harm the device, gather personal information or operate without your consent.

Dylan Clearbrook Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 okay...uninstalled Bitdefender and reinstalled Malwarebytes...seems to be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Council Number Six Posted November 9, 2020 Author City Council Share Posted November 9, 2020 I ran all the files through VirusTotal and everything is coming back clean except for the 32-bit version of launchercli, which BitDefender and a couple of other oddball engines are flagging. Amusing that it doesn't like that, but has no problem with the 64-bit launchercli that has the exact same behavior... I saw someone mention that the particular heuristic (Gen:Variant.Fugrafa) may be related to an executable that don't have an icon. Which is... an odd thing to detect potential malware with, but ok. I'll slap an icon on it in the next build and see if it makes any difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see this added to the Wiki once we know what they are and How to format them. When I used my "-maxinactivefps 5" I used the old shortcut method with the dash at the beginning. I've not noticed an issue and id does seem to work that way.

tidma Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I have been running the Launcher now for about a month with no probs, excluding having to reset my graphics options, but now, after patch day, I run the launcher and select Homecoming, like usual, the game launches normally, but when I log in to the game it tells me " Wrong game version, run patcher and reconnect, server 20201107_3213, client 20201006_2439". In the Homecoming Settings, I have "Automatically update Homecoming" checked. Why is the patcher not running, and how can I run the patcher? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorSteele Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Feedback: The icon to download an update looks like a "refresh/reload" icon more than a "download" icon. Most contemporary download icons are a down-arrow floating above a line or inside a (partial) box. I suggest this be amended, but it's not a game-stopper 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurh35353 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Is there a reason that the Launcher doesn't have a version number in any of the corners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorSteele Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The individual server buttons (Live, Pre-Release/Staging, and Beta) should have the version numbers in the lower left corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrudeVileTerror Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I think @arthurh35353 is referring specifically to the version number for the launcher software itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
