[2020] Launcher start up issue

Originally posted by voltzila: Hi there everyone. So like some of you I have been having issues with the vermintide 2 launcher namely that is won't even appear. After reading the post about the .Net fix I download the older version figuring that it would be simple to roll it back and be off to another rat slaying adventure.

However, as computer literate as I am I can't seem to properly roll back to the recomened 4.5.2 version. I have checked for tutorials and guide on the process, but each one I find just leaves me more confused on how to proceed. If there is any one willing to give me some advice it would be much appreciated.

Oh I suppose I should mention that I'm running windows 8.1 as it would seem that the proceedure for this roll back changes with the version you have. Again any assistance would be welcomed, but I'm sure the devs will evetually come thru with a fix that dosen't involve hours of research.

If the launcher doesn't even appear - the issue is likely not related to EAC as the EAC checks and such happen once you click "Play" in the launcher. Do you see the launcher in your task bar and not on screen when you launch the game from Steam?

If you right click the app in Steam and select Properties, then Betas and in the drop-down list select "Temp Launcher Workaround", then exit and re-launch Steam, does this help?
