Launcher (no news and doesn't save user)

[Kittypretty]

I just installed on a new laptop I bought myself, and for the most part I am very happy, however I do have 2 issues that bug me a little.

1: No news in launcher: Not a big issue but, If its something I can fix then it would be appreciated. (just having update info and links/event etc is helpful) right now it simply says [[no_news]]

2: User information isn't saved. always has a blank username.

1. don't know how to fix it

2. You can change it in your RO files. Currently I'm not at home and can't remember what file it is, I will let you know when I'm back

User information isn't saved. always has a blank username.

Did you do a fresh install or copy the game folder? I had the same on a win pc when copying over the game folder, the installer makes changes in the registry to save the last user name.

It was a fresh install to win 7. The installer was the latest that was available for download. Things I did try were to reinstall giving it admin privs but that resulted in the same issue. Tried downloading it again in case it was corrupted but still it was the same 2 issues.

I didn't use any of my old config files as I modified my old ones quite a bit and I wanted to have a standard config to start working with again. Checking my other configs I do notice a few files that this install doesn't have, possibly one or more being the cause of my probs..if thats so..why didn't they install correctly?

Under linux, there is file ~/.ngdstudios/rolauncher
in the file:

[User]
user=yourusername

Try to find file or directory with that name somewhere in your user directory on windows, if it is not there, try to create one somewhere maybe in AppData, I don't have windows, can't test.
But issue is that when I delete that file on linux, launcher doesn't create a new one, the issue is not with reading the config when it already exists.

i get no news as well,but ive found a way to get username saved.

log in as usual,then once you get to server selection screen,just click exit,that seemed to save the info to my PC.

hope it works for you too.

It do not work for me. After last patch i deinstalled and removed all folders and files connected with RO from my home folder. After reinstall launcher do not remember user name anymore. It is needed to write it every time i login.

Not so big problem for me but still. I run RO on Debian Squeeze 32bit.
