    My game launcher will run a game then disappear as it should, but I can't play the game


    I've downloaded The Sims Medieval to my PC through Origin, and my PC recognizes and runs the launcher and all the installers just fine, but when I launch the game, it just runs in the background. I can find it in the task manager but have no clue if I can somehow bring the program to the foreground. If I reopen the launcher and try to relaunch it, I just get a message that says it can't run it because the program is already running. Whenever I try to run it through Origin, Origin seems to think that it is running the game, is it grays out the button to relaunch, but nothing ever shows up in the task manager and the initial launch screen won't even load. If I run the game through the shortcut on my desktop I created when I first downloaded the game I can get the initial launch screen to appear but then the game just runs in the background.

    :)

    While I was playing The Kings Crusade from Steam Games I suddenly had the game stop and close. The error message that came in said that "Game Launcher has stopped working." How do I fix this problem or update the launcher?

    My game launcher will run a game then disappear as it should, but I can't play the game

    Game launcher only runs in background

    My game launcher installed on my windows 10 laptop only runs in the background for a few seconds than disappears. It never opens and run in the foreground. Whenever I click on the shortcut, the cursor has that loading ring and then it disappears and nothing
    happens. I've tried reinstalling the launcher, updating graphics driver, added "OpenGL" in target destination, ran the launcher as administrator, and repaired the launcher, but it didn't work.
