I know there are jerkoff issues today and that's why the system keeps falling down. However, in addition to that going on I can't even start the launcher once the server crashes. I have to reboot my PC. That seems like more an issue with the program than it's inability to talk with the server--a client program shouldn't just abort upon a network failure, especially when the user hasn't yet requested a connection.

There's no notice when this happens. The program just starts up and then exits. Watch it happen in the task list. Never even shows up in the application list.

This also happened when I restarted the launcher after it thought it was connecting but just froze before showing the login screen.

Is there a cache file I can delete or something instead of rebooting the whole computer?

Hey dude, had these issues too-
rather than restarting- ctrl-alt-del to task manager and look for LAUNCHER.EXE - rt click and end process tree, give it a sec, and open launcher again
works every time for me-
thats my duct tape
