Install the game, including the launcher, play the game, great game, massive fun, huge content. enjoy.

Once a week go into the forums or technical support to find the thread on how to make the launcher actually work, this usually involves finding the file and deleting Bitrunner, then downloading and running the launcher repair utility.

Here's the link so you don't have to waste your time finding it:

Get frustrated, wonder why such a game has the same issue over and over again and consider just uninstalling the whole game but do it anyway as you like the game.

Really? REALLY? Come on.....

I don't normally post on forums but if I am having this issue then pretty sure I'm not the only one. Also sure this isn't the first time this has been raised.

Please fix this this.
