Launcher doesn't work right -SOLVED- - MysticalDynamite - 03-05-2012
Ok, whenever I get the launcher up and click either the Launch Game or Justine buttons, the box dissapears like the game's about to load, but nothing ever comes up. Now, I wouldn't really care, because Amnesia.exe works too, but there's no other way I can play Justine. So is there anything I can do to fix it, or is there another way to be able to play Justine?

create a file next to amnesia.exe and call it justine.bat, then open that file in a text editor and type
Amnesia.exe ptest
Save it and then when you can launch the bat file like any program and it should launch amnesia with the justine expansion active.

Amnesia.exe ptest
Save it and then when you can launch the bat file like any program and it should launch amnesia with the justine expansion active.

open notepad and type Amnesia.exe ptest. Save it somewhere and then go and change the .txt extension to .bat. Place that file at redist folder and it should work.

open a folder > tools > folder settings and uncheck Hide Known Extensions or similar
