Crash Bandicoot 4 doesn't launch. about bnetlauncher HOT 12 OPEN

Hi, are you still having the issue?

from bnetlauncher.

Yeah, same behaviour on v2.15
Not sure if it makes a difference, I have a Friends List (old one) always open on the desktop.

from bnetlauncher.

The battle.net command is actually Battle.net.exe --exec "launch wlby" so make sure that works.

If bettle.net client is working, please enable loging in bnetlauncher (see readme) and post a copy of the log.

Yeah, that command doesn't work. Just opens Battlenet on the last open game.

It's possible blizzard changed the code for the game or broke the launch functionality for it.

Can you confirm it works for other games? You can see the list here for the cmd (pick one of the battlenet games, not battlenet2)?

StarCraft: Remastered, StarCraft 2, WarCraft 3: Reforged, Hearthstone, Overwatch and World of Warcraft all work fine.
Is there a way I could capture the command used when launching a game from the context menu from the tray? Because from there it starts fine.

The launch code can be extracted from products.db which is an hidden file in C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent. Opening with notepad should allow you to see some text information like the one bellow:

�diablo3��d3�D
�D:/Games/Diablo III��eu�

Where diablo3 is the game d3 the launch code and D:/Games/Diablo III the install path. Unfortunately the launch code is case sensitive and not show in the correct case. In Diablo 3 case the code is D3 and not d3.

I can confirm wlby is correct, however I have a feeling --exec "launch wlby" isn't.
But I have no clue how to get the command used, Window Spy from HotkeyP is not working on Battlenet.

You can try changing the code to all caps, or just first uppercase letter and see if that makes any difference.

Beyond that you could try adding an entry using "battlenet2" which uses different codes or try to reach out to the devs on blizzard forums so they can fix the client (assuming it's a bug on their end).

from bnetlauncher.

Finally had time to test this, --exec "launch WLBY" (all capitals) will launch the game correctly.
However, putting it in all capitals into gamesdb.ini is not working for some reason ... maybe parsing is ignoring the letter case?

from bnetlauncher.

Try creating a new gamedb.ini entry instead of overwriting the setting on the existing one.

from bnetlauncher.

Yeah, that works.
Thank you!
