gavinpowell Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I started the launcher today to have it download and everything was fine, I quit the game for a couple of hours and tried to launch the game again but now the launcher appears to open off screen so I can't start the game. I deleted the Net7 folder and reinstalled (btw the download links on the site don't work any more) and it worked perfectly, asked me to update so I did. restarted the launcher and its not opening correctly again. It says its open but I can't see it and I can't move or resize it on to the screen. Anyone got any ideas? I can't find anything in the registry that defines how or where it opens, normally it just opens dead center on the screen but now it could be opening in Mars for all I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every so often, the launcher saves it's previous position totally wrong and this happens, sorry for the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Another solution that always works for me when this happens is to delete the shortcut and make a new one directly from the Net-7\bin folder for LaunchNet7.exe Not sure to be honest what causes it myself, but running it directly from the exe makes it work without any other step (in my experiences when i've had it happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinpowell Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I don't know why but it was working fine when I tried it again this morning :/ So very weird that it fixed itself on its own, but there you go Thanks for the tips, I will remember them if this happens again.

I don't know why it happens either. It must be some quirk in the settings saving code. When we switch to registry keys instead of clunky .NET XML settings, it will hopefully become a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
