Launcher no longer starting (linux)

[WWDragon]

I was playing this morning, exited out to redo the scaling to check something and when I try to start the launcher, it just doesn't start.

Logs in launcher say it was updated today..... is that what's causing it?

already verified files; nothing needed fixing.

well that was weird....

So I went into the folder and tried launching Stellaris driectly; worked fine, mods and all.

Than I opened dowser and it says can't communicate with steam, but also an update available.
I click Ignore and click update, restart after.... it works.
Now I exit can't-connect-to-steam launcher and click start in steam, it starts normally again.

I'm guessing corrupt launcher update.....

Yeah, same here. Literally just made the commitment to move to Linux as well. I was able to launch it directly (ie, not via steam). Frustrating though.

did yours get fixed by running the dowser file, too?

Glad I wasn't the only one having issues. I was able to fix it temporarily by deleting the launcher's related folders and verifying files, ran fine the first time and I specifically ignored the update notice so it wouldn't break again but it automatically updated when I closed it, so now we're back to square one.

Can still boot the launcher just fine by manually running the dowser, but I can't manage my mods in real time since it can't communicate with steam. Very glad I don't have to change any of my mods for now but it's certainly frustrating.

Oh that sucks!

Did you try running dowser, doing the update and then closing that and trying to open it via steam after that?

Last time I tried the dowser's launcher wouldn't update for some reason but this time it did, works just as you said yourself. Maybe it was just a botched version.
