Hotfix preview Reverts back to non preview

Development Getting Started & Setup
, ,
1

I added “-LauncherLabel=QFE3 -AppLabel=Production-HotfixPreview” to the launcher, it then downloaded and installed 4.0.2.

I opened visual studio from within my project that was created in 4.0.1 and I have now opened in 4.0.2.

I compiled and ran my project from visual studio and when the launcher started it ignores the launch parameter and re-downloads and installs 4.0.1.

I guess I need to provide launcher commands in visual studio as it launches the launcher directly and not through the shortcut, but I was unaware of this before hand so I had to download 7GB twice and now I’m back to 4.0.1.

Heya Slayeruk, your hunch is correct. The hotfix is based on the commandline getting passed into the launcher, the easiest way to work around this is to open the Launcher manually with the commandline and keep it open. Everything that routes through the launcher will use the running instance, and you shouldn’t have any issues.

Once you’ve downloaded 4.0.2, if you accidentally run without the commandline, you can cancel the download and not affect your install. Apologies for the inconvenience.
