WarThunder wont open

When i try to open up warthunder on steam, it opens up the launcher and when i click play, the launcher goes away and warthunder just shuts down.

You must open the "manual Update Launcher"...and wait...the Game dowload some Files and says Dowload ready...then close the "manual Update Launcher" and lauch the Game normally...it worked for me

if its just stuck loading after click play on steam >> Go to properties, general, then launch options. It should give you 3 options, Play War Thunder, Launch Manual Update (which is gaijin launcher), and VR mode. 1) Choose Launch Manual Update 2) Play 3) Choose web login 4) Choose steam then it shall give 2 option (fill user+pass or QR), for me QR mostly wouldnt work so choose fill user+pass. Then it would login, if its loading too long. Exit and try it again, if error pop up (user and pass invalid or wrong) just repeat it again (for me it takes 4-5 times). Then i can login auto again after succesful.

Steam also did an update today, so lots of things are not working right.
