Error with launcher (v5.3)
A friend of mine is getting trouble trying to start her launcher.. she gets this error message:

AppName: launcher.exe    AppVer: 5.3.0.0    ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0    Offset: 676e692d

I can't remember what my error message was from a launcher problem I had, but i deleted the launcher6.ini file and it fixed it, so I guess that file can get corrupted. The launcher will build a new one on next launch but all your old setting selections will be lost.

Yeah, apparently it is the same problem, I sent her mine and it worked fine.

You should mantis this, so that someone will remember to take a look at it and try to prevent the corruption.

Mine occured when I was messing around with the default -spec_[stuff] flags so I attributed it to my fat fingers and not a bug. I'll do it if it happens again.

Re: Error with launcher (v5.3)
Any kind of muck-up that causes weird behavior without an error or warning message that explains what happened should be reported to mantis. Especially file corruption, since people can lose hours of work or their entire system stability if the wrong file is corrupted. Granted I doubt that's a problem since the Launcher opens a very few specific set of files, but it's still a good idea to mantis it just in case.

OK I threw up a bug report with what I remember.
