Running install script (Microsoft .NET Framework)

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Technical Support
1

Issue Description:
When I go to launch the game through Steam, I get stuck on:
“LAUNCHING
Running install script (Microsoft .NET Framework)”

It used to be that I could launch Vermintide 2 and this issue was for Darktide, but I did some sort of ‘fix,’ and now it’s the other way around.

I’ve completely repaired my .NET framework installation both by installing the aspnet thing and by going to control panel and letting Windows do it automatically. This worked for me last night and I able to play, but now I’m getting stuck again and the fix does not work.
I’ve tried repairing EAC too
I’ve tried going to the file directory and using the different launcher executables

Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
happening for awhile, and US eastern time zone

Please try running through all of our launcher solutions, here:

Please let me know how this goes.

Same outcome using bypass launcher

Side note but I have also tried reinstalling the game. When I was looking online for a fix I came across the advice to launch, then open Task Manager and end the .NET Framework task, and that works. Would still prefer a permanent solution

Hm okay, thanks for the update! I’m glad to hear there’s a workaround for now at least.

So we can look into this further, could you please launch Vermintide 2 and provide your launcher log (if one is generated) after you’ve become stuck on the .NET Framework script?

  1. Press the Windows key + R
  2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
  3. Navigate to AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2
  4. Locate the vermintide2_launcher.log in this directory

Thank you!

Thanks @MakingAccountsIsFun

Can you please try the following -

  1. Go to the Launcher folder in the Vermintide 2 directory
    \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\launcher
  2. Create a text file named steam_appid.txt with 552500 inside
  3. Right-click on launcher.exe and select ‘Properties’
  4. In ‘Compatability’, disable the ‘Run as Administrator’ checkbox and select OK
  5. Try launching Vermintide 2

Please let me know how this goes.

didn’t have to try this because it just mysteriously started working again… weird!

Weird indeed! Though I’m glad to hear that the issue has resolved itself :slight_smile:
