Title says it all. With the /nolauncher argument in Steam, GC4 seems to run, but the game never actually loads. Oddly enough it doesn't show up as a task in Task Manager, but clicking the STOP button in steam seems to work to exit whatever it's doing. This has been happening since upgrading to Windows 11 24h2.
Have you exited and reentered Steam had a similar problem and quit reload solved it
I remember having this problem last year. I "solved" it by no longer using /nolauncher. I just tried it again, and it still doesn't work, exactly as snarfo67 described.
If I remember everything correctly, this worked fine for me until I got a new computer that had Windows 11 instead of Windows 10 like on my old computer. If I correctly remember some more, it actually worked perfectly until I updated Windows 11 a few weeks later. I'm sure I reported it on Discord last year, maybe around September or October.
Yeah, it worked fine for some time (I was an initial Windows 11 adopter and had no issues), but (at least anecdotally) 24h2 broke /nolauncher and it remains broken. I've mentioned it before, and I get that it's not a critical issue... it's just annoying. I'm pretty sure that nobody likes a launcher that launches a launcher to launch a game.
Yeah, this has been happening since upgrading to Windows 11 24h2--- it worked fine on Windows 11 until then. I just edited my initial post to note that since it does seem to be tied to the version of the OS.
