Cyberpunk launch issue
Cyberpunk is missing red-prelauncher. This only happened after update 2.12. I did not change any settings, and i updated all my mods. If possible, i'd like not to do a fresh install, because last time i did that, i couldnt backup my save games.

CDPR was doing some weird stuff with that launcher recently
wouldn't be surprised if it were their faiult
you can try launching the red launcher installer again, it seems to complain about some component

yeah. the certificates file seems to be missing. no mod issue then. it doesnt seem to apply --launcher-skip. i really dont want to reinstall the game
rival-black•2y ago
no need for reinstall
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
i am missing the entire redLauncher folder in appdata for whatever reason
rival-black•2y ago
just launch the
setup_red_launcher.exe with Run exe in prefix option from game sttings
I think that should reinstall the launcher itselffascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
let me give that a try
well
the message about the missing certificate is gone, game wont launch tho

what if you don't pass
--launcher-skip paramfascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
then i just get a black launcher
should i try with a different wine/proton version?
rival-black•2y ago
you could, but backup your saves before doing so
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
i always forget where those are
found it

now i get this. should i try running a different exe?
tried the cyberpunk2077.exe. same outcome
rival-black•2y ago
add a
PROTON_LOG=1 environment variable
it will create log in your home directory, there should be more detailsfascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
ill try
there is no proton log
so it seems it doesnt even get to the step where it initialises proton
rival-black•2y ago
it does
it runs the launcher
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
oh remove the launcher skip again?
rival-black•2y ago
here's how it should look like in settings
rival-black•2y ago
then
steam-heroic-Cyberpunk 2077.log should appear
in your home dirfascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
had a typo in there. got the logs

I guess you can workaround the launcher completely by setting Heroic to launch game exe directly
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
tried that. didnt work
well i extracted all the mods. same issue without them. gonna verify files now. if that doesnt work, ill reinstall
i backed up the saves
runs after verifying. for whatever reason
aaaaand it crashes after intro videos
rival-black•2y ago
😬
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
reinstall it is then
rival-black•2y ago
it may be that CDPR fucked up the compatibility
you can try rolling back to 2.11 version for the time being I guess
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
how would one do that
rival-black•2y ago
on the game page under three dots there's a modify installation (The Witcher in the picture)
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
ill try after the fresh install
rival-black•2y ago
all right
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
thanks for your help
rival-black•2y ago
I'll research the topic more, maybe it's a new issue
fascinating-indigoOP•2y ago
i will let you know if the issue persists on a fresh install
fresh install fixed it
