[SOLVED] "Keep the launcher running!" and all that jazz.

[Sir Commander Undercakes!]

Heya -- Pancakes here, or Qui'ren in game. I have the game through Steam. I'm getting the issue where I can launch the game fine, join a server fine -- but then get booted after 3-7 seconds of being in the server. Back to the main menu with: "Please launch the game with the launcher and keep it open while playing!"

However -- it seems to think that I do not have the launcher open whilst I play, even though I do. I imagine there is something incorrect in my files that disallows for validation that the launcher is still running? Yes yes, I already tried repairing. I've seen this issue addressed before -- though in the thread it wasn't really solved as opposed to "...launched the game up after the fifth try and it worked..."; but this is not the case for me. I've tried thirty times and yes -- I counted.

Perhaps someone may shed some light on this issue? Thank you!

Take off your hacks!

Try running through the launcher.

I do launch it up with the launcher. I stated this. My intent is not unwanted software temperament. Though in retrospect, I should stated that "I have the game on steam" instead of "running the game on steam". Whoops! I'll fix that.

Go into settings and change it to OpenJK, then launch through launcher. See what that does.
I myself run by having the launcher open, then launching through steam with the launch options as +set fs_game "MBII"
