In Epic Games Launcher->Library->3 dots button next to Diabotical->Manage, next to the Uninstall button there's a round button with a folder icon which will open the location of Diabotical, do you see a Diabotical-Launcher.exe and a Diabotical.exe there?

Try going to the Epic Games Launcher-Library-3 dots button next to Diabotical-Manage-Verify.

If that doesn't work try Uninstalling and Reinstalling.

If you are in South Korea, Diabotical hasn't been approved by the South Korean rating board yet so it's unfortunately not currently available.

It's possible to create a Custom Lobby with instant weapon switching if you enable that option through a lobby's More Settings button->Instant weapon switch->Enabled (left column, second row).
