Casual player here: I've been having some issues with basic launches and with the alternate download mode and after being stumped for over an hour, I figured I'd just post something here for validation.
Before getting started, I should mention that this is for the game Buckshot Roulette specifically - I only have one other game, and have had no issues there (the game is Clangen, if that matters), so I wanted to ask here before going to dev directly since I don't really have a way to prove that it's specific to Buckshot.
So I've been trying to launch and play Buckshot Roulette for a while now, and there's a bunch I have to say about it: the first and most frustrating part is that I can download and extract the game from the website just fine, but it refuses to launch - the same thing goes when I try to launch from the application. It basically launches for half a second and then the game closes. I then tried deleting and redownloading the game with the alternate download mode, and it wouldn't download at all.
I read up on everything about the recent CDN rollover and how it's blocked in some countries, and about an issue with file download corruption. But none of the solutions I found and tried seemed to work, unless I'm missing something.
Could this be related to the recent "download file corruption" thing that's been happening? Or does it sound like something related to my laptop or the game (aka something I should directly contact the dev about)? Also, slightly unrelated, but is there a way to get around the CDN being blocked in certain countries, possibly with a VPN?
Apologies in advance if this should've been brought up straight to the dev, and a huge thanks for any help anyone can give me.
