launcher login every time

Post by Violator31 »

I searched back 7 pages, if a related thread is there I missed it.
Every time I open the launcher a browser window opens & saying "Thank you for joining! Continue to theHunter launcher to start playing!" and I have to sign in to the launcher. Every time.
There is no "remember my password".
What am I missing / doing wrong?

Do you have the same issue if you log into the website? http://www.thehunter.com
It could be a browser setting. I think the launcher just uses your default browser.
It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!

No problems with the browser. I use Chrome, except for these forums, I have to use Firefox for them. :roll:
I will try logging in to the website with Firefox also (I'll try about anything right now).
Thanks.

I actually was signed in on Firefox as well. So I guess it doesn't matter.
Thanks again.

I have this problem for almost a year!
I play on Steam and everytime I launch the game, I have to login to my account and browser open with the text you said: "Thank you for joining! Continue to theHunter launcher to start playing!"

I open a ticket about before but support couldn't help me either!
I reinstall the game, Steam, and even windows! Nothing!

So, I live with it and now I get used to it!

Since I bought the new pc I haven't downloaded the Steam launcher.
Maybe I give that a try tomorrow, from your experience it doesn't sound promising though. :roll:
Thanks

Am I correct in assuming that you are starting the Launcher from a shortcut or icon on your desktop that is pointing to "launcher.exe" in the "programs files (x86)\theHunter\launcher" directory? So you are not starting the launcher from the web page by clicking the "Hunt Now" button?

I believe the launcher uses cookies to remember that you are logged in, so my guess is that something (some setting on your computer or one of your browsers or possibly your antivirus/internet security software) is deleting or expiring the cookies that the Launcher uses. That's my theory anyway.

I've had this problem for ages (a year?) , too. Started after installing free Steam dlc for the game. I've been in contact with support well over six months. Still trying to find a solution.

Same here. This problem happened for me after I install the Free Equipment DLC either!
I send an email to support exactly after the DLC released, but still didn't fix!

Correct. I am using the launcher desktop shortcut.

Your theory will be tested later tonight after work. But I bet you are right. It's a new pc & the day after I bought it I kept getting a prompt about an error (I don't remember the code#). So I took it back to have them look into it. Turns out the Norton antivirus was battling with the Kaspersky program already installed. When I bought it they tried to hand me a Kaspersky disc & told me it was free with the purchase. I already had Norton so I declined. I didn't look into it to see that Kaspersky was already in the programs.
You are probably right & again, I'll check into it after work.

If you can help by launching the game from the Steam page, the problem you have is eliminated.
