That Discord thing is causing a lot of issues, if you disable it, the game will crash, if you block it in your firewall the game will crash.

If you don't have Discord (most don't) the game will crash or not work.

InvalidPipe: Pipe Not Found - Is Discord Running?

Only way to fix it is to UNREN and delete it all together.

Yeah, I get a few reports on that. Looks like firewall is the issue. I just tested it on my laptop without discord installed and it works fine. The plugin checks if discord is installed and the firewall just doesn't allow it.

You just have to add the game to the firewall exceptions. I get it if you don't want to do it, but there is nothing I can do. Only manually delete the whole plugin folder, as you said. 

"Normal" people don't know how to do that and UNREN anything let alone delete stuff to play the game, they shouldn't have too either. 

Yes. But for most people, everything works fine. It seems that the problem occurs only if a third-party firewall is installed with custom settings. There are no issues with the default Windows firewall or with the default settings. So adding the game to the firewall exceptions should be enough, no need to unren or delete anything. I'll add a note on that to the game page and release posts.

I'll try to change that in the next update by adding a choice on a splash screen whether you allow or don't allow discord rich presence. And only after that choices the game will launch the plugin. So if you choose no, it won't trigger the firewall, and the game will launch as it should.
