Greetings,

I appear to be having an issue with the Launcher, and I will try to be as detailed as possible. I did try redownloading the Launcher several times and ran a check to make sure the file was corrupt.

I can get through to step 5 in the Set Up Guide...

The first error I get is on double-click of Launchpad.exe... "Critical error trying to calculate checksum for C:\downloads\LaunchPad35\Launchpad.exe"

It lets me click on, and advances to the next step. But the same error pops up a second time...and I click OK again.

I am able to find the 'bin' folder in order to point to the executable, and it says in green, "client found". Then I click SAVE...

Then I get the following error... (Copied from the log file)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or need to do differently?

Thanks,

Just FYI... tried everything again... but got a different error, pasting below.

Did you make sure to put the Newtonsoft.Json.dll that was in the .zip in the same location as the LaunchPad.exe?

Yes I did... same folder, just as pictured in the Install Guide.

Side question... is the IP address for the login server in the "lp_options.xml" file accurate? I am unable to ping it from my computer. I can ping the other addresses listed in the same file. (launcher.vgoemulator.net)

Thanks for your help.

I'm on discord for a little bit if you want to do a teamviewer session so I can take a look.
