Launcher crashes when Mirillis Action! is running

Hello,

I didn’t use to have this problem in the past but since somebody reported it to Steam (see ticket link below) I thought it would be wise to post it here as well. Especially because I’m not quite sure the problem is coming from Mirillis but rather from this side.

So basically if I let Action! run with Windows for example I cannot open the Epic Games Launcher. It crashes abrubtly before even showing any UI. If Action! is not running I can open the Launcher, then open a project. If I then close the launcher and start Action! the Editor (into which the project is open) won’t crash.

So in the end it’s fine as far as you shut down the launcher before starting Action!. But still it is not that practical.

Steam ticket I mentioned is here:

Please know that I have already sent an email to Mirillis as well to let then know about the problem too.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
