2 years ago Possibly reinstall check could be repurposed to check patriots.exe for date (per current functionality checking crossplay dll) but also size, which would make the fix relatively quick if this works. Still no current plans to implement.
Per report by HnZ, because Steam will override the exe (while obviously not changing the saved setting which tracks the exe's state), this unintended behaviour can occur.
There is currently no priority assigned to resolving this with current dev resources.
HnZ reports that check-unchecking the checkbox that controls which launcher to use is a functional workaround.
