Sometimes, when Mega fails to connect, the logout in the finally statement will cause an unknown error to be caught. Wrap the logout statement with a check that you actually are logged in. (Whoops...)

I could allow the user to add very limited options that would be injected into the command-line. No real harm in that.

Soooo, I went to download the game and this error message popped up. Help me fix this please!

Several users are running the launcher from within the zip file, rather than extracting it first and then running it. This makes the launcher run from the Windows temp folder, which is where the launcher will attempt to install the game.

Put up a message box to notify the user if they are running from within the Windows Temp folder. Make sure it is a Yes/No box so they can choose to ignore the warning.

Nitpick, I know, but I think that YandereSimulator.Launcher makes more sense for the project's name, just due to the namespacing.

It gives me a popup saying The website did not provide a download link that the launcher could recognize.

It says you might be blocked by mega but i am not. Can you update the link something else from mega?

This happened when I tried to install the game,I tried the other links as well but it didn't work the same thing happened.

A handful of people have emailed that the game won't launch. I go through the process of getting them to check whether their OS is 32-bit, but that's excessively complicated when .NET 4 provides a property to check whether it's running on a 32-bit version of Windows (Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem). Warn users when they are not running on a supported version.

My game Won't launch, it says i have everything downloaded and my PC Is able to Play it but it isn't launching, says i'm missing something,

I wanted to download yandere simulator, but when I start the download it gives me an error.

I tried 3 days ago and today I tried again and it is still failing, maybe change the server where the launcher downloads the game (example: from mega.nz to mediafire), I hope it get fixed soon.

when i try to frame osana for murder and kill horada puresu the game crashes or freeses once the police arrive and match the blood to horada

Or atleast it seems to be so, ticking this just doesn't change anything.
I suppose it should display a video instead of one and the same image

(sorry, this is all i can provide, unable to record a video)
I unzipped the launcher onto my desktop as soon as I opened the zip.
Maybe there's some dependencies/requirements for it to work?

The launcher downloads the game at 10-50kbps while my speed test says 200mbps

Even after downloading the game in the launcher it shows "install" instead of "checking for updates" pls I hope you fix this

Hello, it would be nice to add localization to the launcher.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download the latest version of the launcher from the Yandere Simulator website. (v2.8.0 as given in README)
2. Open the launcher.
3. Press install, and wait for it to download the game.

Expected Behaviour

The game is able to launch as expected.

Actual outcome

Returns the following error:

When attempting to play the game:

Notes

• The "Cannot download game" error does not display when launcher is started from the .zip file.
• Releases downloaded directly from the Yandere Simulator website also appear to be broken and I am not able to extract the files from them.

С моей маленькой тупостью возникла проблема. Перед игрой написало о обновление файлов,что я благополучно пропустила мимо ушей. Поняла,что совершила ошибку и решила скачать по другой ссылке. Та ссылка безгранично загружает мб. Можно ли как то вернуться к первой ссылке без всяких проблем?

CloudFlare has been updated to only support TLS 1.2 or unencrypted HTTP. The launcher uses neither.

Currently, the launcher only accesses Mega.nz. This is free and fairly reliable, but can reject connections at high load for anonymous traffic, and it is blocked in certain parts of the world.

The previous launcher would attempt to access Mega.nz first. If that failed, as in threw an exception, then it would fall back to dl.yanderesimulator.com. For two unexplained reasons, we dropped attaching the launcher to dl.yanderesimulator.com (even though it was the primary download source for this launcher before release, as well as for the two Qt-based prototypes before it). I'm not interested in re-adding dl.yanderesimulator.com as a download source, but it's something that I will look into.

That said, there might be room for other sources, such as MediaFire.

Alternatively, I might be able to support something like "drag and drop latest.zip to install" and let people use their web browsers to acquire the game. I'm not sure if that's a better or a worse user experience than just downloading from the browser, though.

As always, feel free to leave comments.

Received an email about antivirus software conflicting with the launcher.

Most of the time, this is due to Windows Defender (and others) not trusting new software until enough users have installed it without issue. (There are some ways to boost this with code signing, but I don't predict going that route.) Antivirus software tends to default to don't trust until certain conditions are met.

I'll update this issue if anything comes up.

When I want to download the game from the launcher, it says there's an error
How can I fix that?

I have a problem with loading screen it kept crashing screen. so I need your help please. and it bothers me.

so i was trying to install yandere simulator but i ran out of space so i removed the failed extracted folder and some other files and now it's not letting me install.

Hello! You are using .Net Framework 4.5, which is not up to date and is not even downloadable.

i made a github acc just for this
literally the same problems some other people where having when installing launcher
"an error has occurred"
idk whats wrong

It looks like, if Microsoft's unzip function fails, the launcher stays stuck on the "extracting" status forever.

This is because the error handling checks for exceptions of specific types, to correctly handle individual cases from Mega.nz, but some exceptions could make it out into the install button click event handler, where they are dropped (unless you're monitoring stdout).

The launcher should report that an exception was caught in the install process, and prepare for another attempt accordingly.

my game disapeard.
