### Issue Type (Required):

Launcher

### Issue Description (Required):

Starting from today my Darktide launcher no longer seems to be able to display webpages. I have attached my most recent launcher log file in case more information is necessary, but from what I can gather there seems to be an issue with the Edge WebView2 runtime?

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

This sure seems to be the case! You can download the runtime right here:

Just tried to install using the standalone installer but I get a pop-up telling me I’ve already got WebView2 installed and running.

Try uninstalling + reinstalling it perhaps! I suspect a bad install

Hmm I just finished reinstalling WebView2 but the problem still persists. Not sure if a clean game install will help but if it doesn’t I’ll just see if the next Darktide update will fix it, seems to work for some people with unexplainable technical problems with the game.

I’ve been having this problem for a year and no update or patch fixed it.

well that’s really weird, any idea what you could’ve done before the problem started? The only thing I can think of that could affects the WebView2 runtime on my laptop would be a few Windows updates I had before the launcher broke.

It’s a long shot but, any luck since the hotfix?
