Interesting now i wonder why it crashes for some configurations and not for others
I wish I could tell. I don't use Windows so I have no way of telling if my setup has a problem with this "launching operation" - however, there's no single output that I could find about this launcher, so I have absolutely no idea what kind of component is missing on some systems that ends up with this Fatal Error.
- and I really tried. I used WINED3D and DXVK with many other Windows variants through Wine and it just doesn't work. It's almost like launcher is set not to work on some GPU solutions at all. Which leads me to think if launcher is failing on some systems due to systems having CPU Integrated GPU that overlooks the OS and unless the game is fully launched that the discrete GPU on these systems are not detected by the launcher, thus launcher failes to load at all.
Pure speculation. I have no data to back this up. But it's an interesting case for sure. If this launcher is anything like the ones before (I guess the XXXMas episodes or Episode 3 back in the day?) then there's clearly something wrong with updated Unreal Engine and the old, unmaintained code from launcher before. Again, pure speculation.
