Can you provide some more details on the issue you're seeing? Like @pan-mroku mentioned, the output shown in your log file would be helpful. Log file is located at logs/min-ed-launcher.log.

It looks like you are trying to run it directly (Args array is empty). Did you follow the Setup steps for your desired platform?

[PyronoxO]

`yes of course it was running just fine before update 7 after the update it stopped and i was getting this message

[rfvgyhn]

Is this Steam, Epic or a regular Frontier account? Can you show me what your launcher options/shortcut looks like?

[PyronoxO]

steam

[rfvgyhn]

And what launch options do you have setup?

[PyronoxO]

/autorun /restart 5 /EDO

[rfvgyhn]

Is that the entirety of what's in the launch options textbox?

It should be cmd /c "MinEdLauncher.exe %command% /autorun /restart 5 /EDO"

If that's what your launch options look like, can you try running it manually and posting the log output?

1. Open a command prompt (click Windows start button, search for cmd)
2. Navigate to elite folder by typing cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous (change your path if you don't have a default Steam installation)
3. Press enter
4. Run launcher by typing MinEdLauncher.exe /steam /autorun /restart 5 /EDO
5. Press enter

[PyronoxO]

in my case its actually cmd /h "MinEdLauncher.exe %command% /autorun /restart 5 /EDO"

as i don't have my steam path in C

[PyronoxO]

Launching manually from the command prompt seems to work, from steam no luck , here is the log file output

/h should be /c. That particular option doesn't refer to the disk letter but tells cmd to run the subsequent command.

ahh ok thanx for the clarification, let me try that

Update : worked just fine thanx for the help, hope you can get the restart function to work for epic launcher too :)
