Launch Base Beta Test

[Bobingabout]

i seem to get the same crash as before whenever it cannot connect to the internet
...
get the same mod catalogue error (seems to be only when empty)

Do you get a crash when running Check For Updates if it can't connect to the Internet?

i dunno, will have to test

trying to install rockpatch created the same error, and deleted gamemd.exe.....

wtf? If Launch Base can't authenticate a plugin it won't do anything to any files. I have double checked the code to see if there is any way this could happen and I cannot see it. I have tried with several different versions of RockPatch and never had a problem.
Can you replicate this?

I'll have to play with that again, actually, i don't think it did delete gamemd.exe, but install rockpatch anyway, since the launchbase on next run complained about something messing with rockpatch, and it showed it as installed.
