Wartales for me doesn't launch when opening through the client. It crashes immediately with a

"Did something go wrong?" dialogue box.

However, I am able to open the game using the exe after downloading it through the client.

Wartales, on launching the exe directly, opens a cmd dialogue box which then closes and launches the game. Maybe the problem is something related to how Wartales launches itself.

Please find attached the error logs from Appdata.

Looking at the logs, it looks like the game isn't being launched properly.

HL/JIT 1.15.0 (c)2015-2025 Haxe Foundation
  Usage : hl [--debug <port>] [--debug-wait] <file>

Is there additional metadata/are you using the right executable?

  1. I am not doing anything extra.
  2. I am using the right executable since opening it with a double click opens up the game.
