That's usually from a slow download. Do you have any connection issues?

Worst case, you can download manually:

the only plugins that show in your launcher are the "premium" paid-for plugins, like mq2eqwire. all other plugins are included in your VV already and are already in your release folder, you just need to load them in game

/plugin pluginname load

macros on the other hand aren't all automatically downloaded (as there are a lot), and you can "watch" those resources to get them added to your launcher to auto download

on patch days mq2 has to get patched, and then VV rebuilt - the target is usually 8pm est.

it was not a normal patch because they released the .exe at 3am est

VV will likely be up as usually by that 8pm est time

What?!? You mean MQ2 Devs are not up and diligently working at 3am est? I'm shocked I tell you!

Ow... I am so sorry, did not quite realize your timezone to be so different. I feel bad now :/

Thanks for the information. This was my first patch with VV. I may have to play normally. It almost feels archaic now! These programs have really refreshed the game and changed my life with it. Glad to be coming back after 19 years.


****** As soon as I sent this a patch appeared....appears to be done. GOOD JOB TEAM!!!! *********

The launcher isn't working for me. Nothing happens. I've tried deleting the ResourceManager file, and that didn't work either.

Sorry to hear that!
Sometimes the Launcher gets a little confused and will close automatically - when this happens you need to reinstall the launcher after deleting your APPDATA and here are some steps to help you do that.
```
1 - delete your AppData - paste this in windows explorer search window (any folder) %LocalAppData%\RedGuides and then delete the contents in that folder
1b - Did you skip step 1? if you did, go back and do step 1
2 - then go to add/remove programs, and remove the redguide's launcher
3 - reinstall the launcher
4 - open launcher
5 - point the re-install to your existing mq2 directory
6 - boom - back in business
7 - get a snack/drink - you earned it!
```
Here is the link to re-download the launcher <https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/redguides-launcher.1255/download>

Thanks for your time Sic, much appreciated. Will give it a shot

Hmmm, still didn't work. No hurry, the last patch was just long enough to break the addiction, haha. I'll follow along and see if anyone else is having issues.

are you positive you followed the steps about deleting the appdata?

if so - what is actually happening when you launch?

I did delete the app data (it was located in a different folder.../users/appdata/local), then I uninstalled the program and re-installed. When I click the launcher I get the security warning..."Do you want this app to make changes to your device"...the usual disclaimer. When I click "yes", my desktop shows again, there's the turny circle on my cursor for 0.5 to 1 second, and nothing.

Try updating your launcher and plugins

 

[uga2k20]

Update your plugin

 

[poacher54]

I have reloaded the plugin several times, it still fails

What version does it say and timestamp at top of red guides launcher VV tab and on the Settings tab?

VV has 4/22/2021 1:10:32PM and Settings tab has 1.0.56 for me.

Also did you update EQ itself since patch couple days ago?

 

[ChatWithThisName]

Looks like you're due for renewal.

howdy huksy

you need to check the "plugins" tab of your launcher


edit: hrm - are you running test or live?
I see you download both

live you need a suspscription for mq2berzerker

 

[Husky87]

Im running test

 

[Sic]

Im running test

I would maybe try hitting the reinstall button on the launcher

i just patched for test and loaded up a toon

and it loaded just fine

 

[Husky87]

Ok ill try that

 

[playj]

Have two Windows 10 computers instantly crash RedGuides Launcher ( seeing 1.0.56 for like 1 second then back to desktop(no error messages no nothing)).

Launching Launcher 2nd and 3rd time I do not even see the Launcher screen and nothing in process explorer.

This started after I restarted computers while they were running Launcher and MQ2.

I have other computers without this problem so I imagine this is some sort of file corruption / bad cache situation.

Any ideas besides reinstalling RG from scratch ?

EDIT: Looks like one of my net connections is down, so that's probably the issue

Getting an error message when attempting to install one particular macro (DeleteInBag). Now, I've already downloaded the macro and used it in game. But the launcher just seems to have an issue doing an "official" install. I'm sure this is specific to this macro. I did installs for a couple other macros just this morning. Any ideas on how to track down the cause of this issue?

It is working for me, so not sure - nothing about the resource is unusual or different than other resources.

I would double-check that you are "watching" the resource and not the discussion thread (it wouldn't show up in your macro list if it was wasn't watched, but if you somehow unwatched it and didn't refresh your macros tab, then it might still display it, but not download it)

> HERE < is the link to watch the macro

if that is all correct, I would double-check that you don't have an antivirus or something else holding a file hostage

 

[rouneq]

Verified I'm watching the macro. Refreshed the Macros page. Still get the error. No idea. It bugs me enough to report it, but not enough to go nuclear and re-install to fix it. As I said initially, the macro works fine in-game. Thanks for checking.

Just installed VV, (watching the walk through on youtube) instead of it saying UPDATE in the right hand corner of launcher after installation it says Re-Install, just wondering if this is normal or something i should worry about,...

this is just giving you the option to reinstall, if, for some reason, you wanted to reinstall. It only shows update if there is an update you haven't downloaded
