Client.log entry, not very useful but its a message I don't see in previous days attempts to play.

Same here, Frontier, Steam and Epic Account not launchable anymore...
Verifying game files results in an Manifest error.

I went so far as to uninstall to reinstall it, and I'm getting an incorrect checksum manifest error. Someone messed up something with attempting to match data I think.

Same problem for many players in France

 

[Peter Drakon]

Same here, I have started it yesterday fine. Now just not starting it, no where (Steam, Epic or simple FD version).

However validate files gives this:

But I can not make it repair.

Server Status: Good

Just remove that text guys, its not useful.

Same issue for me on Steam, worked fine just over an hour ago.
Launcher is also showing me ARX balance before I purchased the Corsair which I did about 10am this morning (UK), so something is definitely up.
Just started building my first Outpost as well tut...

It'll be the bloody biowaste, this. A server house can only hold so much biowaste. We didn't think! We didn't think.

 

[Cipher Decipher]

Same issue, 2 accounts, 2 different machines. Worked fine right up till logout at 2am this morning.

 

[Go'Gen]

Same here, FDevs EDLaunch. Played two hours ago, now nothing. Restarted, nothing, so it's not your PC thing.

 

[redthorne]

Same. Win 10 Box, FDev launcher.

 

[CMDR Caligula]

Also experiencing this issue. Verifying files within the launcher also gets stuck at 0%

Same verifying does not even start

I just logged out to restart the game and its no longer launching for my either. My friend is still on and playing though.

 

[Darkman Returns]

+1, launcher version 1.7.6972.1, steam, Windows 11

 

[aymerix]

Message when I try to validate my files

Also experiencing this issue. Verifying files within the launcher also gets stuck at 0%

Same. Validating within Steam works, but the launcher gets stuck. Restarting my computer, updating drivers, and closing processes doesn't fix the issue either.

I played earlier and it worked fine, messed with the xml due to resolution causing it to give a black screen but now the launcher wont launch the game either
