So since 07/08/24 evening I have not been able to load the launcher. Every time I run as admin it clearly verifies with yes or no and I say yes. Then nothing loads, just has a icon at the bottom of the toolbar. I'm on Windows 10 pro. I have done many things, including disabling virus scan and firewall. I have uninstalled completely and reinstalled Ascension installer. The install works just fine but again the launcher will not load. I have released my ip and renewed my ip. I have completely reinstalled windows 10 pro. Only doing windows updates once they are complete I once again turn off virus scan and firewall completely...... then download and install ascension install.exe from your site. It installs a bunch of Microsoft needed distribution stuff and what not. Once it's complete I have clicked yes launch the launcher that it just installed and once again it does the same thing. I have completely reinstalled windows again with just updates and done all the above without launching the launcher when asked and instead restarting my computer first and making sure the launcher is run as admin. I have also tried running compatibility changing the different versions of windows all failed. I have also tried adding a shortcut with --disable gpu like one post says and still doesn't work.
I'm just hoping anyone has some kind of idea. I have played Ascension for years and never had any issues until this. I have installed other games after not being able to launch Ascension and those play just fine (Last Epoch online session). Like I said I was able to play it that morning. I logged out, closed the launcher and just cut off my monitor. I took a nap when I got up it would no longer work. I did not open any other programs before this. I did not download anything during or after. I have no idea what I can try further. So please anyone at all with any kind of idea at all I'm all ears!
Thank you very much for any input at all.
