Still having issues with the launcher

[RitsukaAmamiya]

Update disclaimer

• [X] Yes, I have checked and my issue is not related to the game updating and plugins not working correctly.

What did you do?

I'm still having issues with the launcher since July. In order for it to even run for 5 minutes, i have to run it as admin, otherwise it deletes itself off my computer. Meanwhile trying to run setup.exe to reinstall doesn't work at all, admin or otherwise. What is going on?

Platform

Windows

Wine/Proton runner version
