Yeah, I haven't seen that before either. Did you start a game via Checker that was in the process of starting (or failed to start)? That would be my best guess beyond just Windows being Windows.
Did you start Checker via command line or via Explorer?
Started via explorer.
it doesnt, that is you making assumpions with no context. that is an error coming from the f95checker api, nothing to do with you. and this kind of error goes away after 15 minutes, if load on f95zone servers has slowed down and it is not being ratelimited anymore. it looks like for the past hour f95zone has been having some stability issues, there are more captchas and ratelimits, and so inevitably the cache api is affected too.
I know your to-do list has to be at least as long as mine, but would it be within the realm of possibility to add information like this - and from the maintenance earlier this week - to those error messages as possible causes, to hopefully cut down on posts like this?
I had it installed and was still not working.
For that you would need to point out where the game "exe" is located and add it manually for each game. But this is not a launcher and I am sure, never was intended as one.
It actually works really well on Mac to launch apps as URIs instead of files. You just need to know the full path to the game. For example, if you have a game with the path /Applications/HaremHotel.app, you can click the "Use URI" button in the Add EXE dialog, and type: file:///Applications/HaremHotel.app - or, if your game has the path /Users/batblue/Games/HaremHotel.app, you would enter file:///Users/batblue/Games/HaremHotel.app. Basically, just file:// plus the full path of the app you want to launch, including the first slash.
in latest betas the bz2 issue is fixed, i include the needed bz2 so with the f95checker zip bundle
it is on the todo, but the idea is that the issues should not happen so often that they are such a huge problem. the parsing errors need manual intervention from me typically anyway, unless its a forum issue. and the f95 unavailable errors just need some time for the forum to not be overloaded anymore
what if you quit the app completely and start it normally, does it start in background?
