Developer NodSaibot Posted December 9, 2022 Developer Share Posted December 9, 2022 Launcher download link Effective immediately, our new Totem Arts Launcher will replace the existing launcher for Renegade X. Our new launcher features multi-game support (Firestorm will be installed via the same launcher when it releases), a more flexible update system and more stability. The new launcher installs separately from the game. After you install the launcher, you will have to select the Renegade X that the game is installed into for it to know where to look for the files. This can be done in the Renegade X tab with the Settings button. If your game is running in a privileged directory such as Program Files x86, the launcher will have to be run as admin to update unless the permissions for the game directory are manually updated. In the future this will be accounted for and the launcher will prompt for permission updates. The visuals/UI side of the launcher will be upgraded and updated progressively, the current visuals are temporary. A known issue is that it may appear the download/verification stages are stuck since they don't show a more fine-tuned percentage. If there is network activity/CPU activity it is advised to let it continue. If it is stuck, you can simply restart the launcher and it will resume at it's last position. If you have any other outstanding issues please reach out and let us know. You can make a thread here or get in contact via Discord. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! So I assume that image on the GitHub project is still reflective on the final thing planed. Although I do have to say that this rush is a bit strange, was there an exploit or is Firestorm Assault immanent? Oh and I almost forgot, what's in-store for the UDK launcher?

Andycorm Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Hello! I just stumbled across this site, and am dying to try Renegade X, but am having trouble figuring out how to install it. The link to the "Renegade X installer" starts the "Totem Arts Launcher" downloading, but after installing and running that, I can't figure out how to actually install any games. I see there's two "Install" buttons, but both of them ask me to select a directory, like they're looking for another file. I tried selecting an empty directory, but the install process doesn't get anywhere past 0%. Are there instructions anywhere on how to properly install the game at this time?

New versions of the launcher will better guide this part of installation along with useful error messages, but it is still being tested. For now just make sure you are selecting an empty folder that does not require admin rights (like program files 86). It should install fine after that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old launcher did not have a proper license attributed to the project. Some developers that contributed to it in the past no longer wanted their work in it and it was easier to recreate a new one than fix every piece of the last launcher.

Unfortunately, that's what I did, and although it brings up a screen, as if it's going to start the download/install, nothing is processed and it's just stuck at 0%.

I reinstalled the Totem Arts Launcher, tried clicking "install" and it whined about the directory not being writable, but then I closed the app, right clicked the Totem Arts Launcher shortcut in windows and did "Run as administrator", and now after clicking "Install" it seems to be doing what it's supposed to. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! Happy that it's working! I'd recommend a setup that does not involve running as admin, as it is not necessary to run the launcher.
