[FIXED] REDlauncher no longer starts and TW3 launches directly from steam.

+
I think the title explains this issue that I have, perfectly. Even going to the game files and launching the redlauncher executable from there, causes the game itself to launch and I cannot get my rewards. The same thing happens with Cyberpunk.

Edit: My issue got fixed when I reinstalled cyberpunk to test out the new big patch. Before that, reinstalling TW3 did nothing. But now I have another problem :) I can't sign into my CDPR account because the browser tab for signing in doesn't appear.

Interesting. I'd manually update both Steam and the REDlauncher.

Did you recently move libraries, add new HDD / SSD drives, get a new PC, etc.?
 
How do I update REDlauncher manually?
First, in the Steam client, go to:

...and hit the "Check for Steam Client Updates".

Then, navigate to whatever CDPR game's installation directory and run a file called "setup_redlauncher", which should be in there somewhere.

Not right now but I will upgrade in a month.
Strange. Hopefully Support will be able to answer what may have happened.

I'm having this exact same issue, and I've made sure my steam is completely up to date and tried running the "setup_redlauncher" at least three dozen times. It doesn't even attempt to open the file, my computer tells me that it simply crashes instantly before even bringing a page up.
 
Hey, I'm having the exact same issue. I have the game both on PC(steam) and PS5 and I was trying to sync the progress, but the PC(steam) version of the game doesn't mark my saved game files with a cloud icon. I guess the reason for that is because my RED launcher is not working either. I couldn't run the "setup_redlauncher" file either. There's literally no way to make it work as usual. I was wondering if re-installing the game on Steam would trigger the RED launcher again, but I'm afraid of losing my progress and I'm deep in the game. Can you guys suggest a workaround?
Post automatically merged:

When I start the game directly from the game exe, it launches the game normally as if I launched the game from Steam or from the shortcut. When I launch RED launcher, it also launches the game. There's no difference in either of the methods. Check the file below what appears when I select "My Rewards" in the game menu.

@Panzerfaus7 Hi there, my issue got resolved somehow (maybe because I reinstalled Cyberpunk for the 2.2 update). You might want to reinstall TW3 and see if the issue gets fixed (in my case it didn't. as I said, I reinstalled Cyberpunk and it started working again).

Hey, I've already tried re-installing the game. Perhaps I should remove the settings folder in my documents folder and try reinstalling again. It's weird that this Red launcher used to work the first few times and then stopped working.
