[Launcher restarts on its own]

Ok, I wish I had a screen shot, but I don't.  So, I will try to explain.

Windows system basically has it's hooks in Launcher.exe before you try to update.  During the process of the update, Warframe does not release the hold that windows has on it so warframe is unable to backup the Launcher.exe and is then unable to rename the file Launcher.exe.cpy to Launcher.exe. 

What you need to do is:

Reboot your computer so that windows system is not attached to warframe and then head to 

C:\Users\{your user name here}\AppData\Local\Warframe\Downloaded\Public\Tools

Rename file Launcher.exe to something other than that, like Launcher_becausewarframecouldntdoitsoIwill.exe

then rename file Launcher.exe.cpy to Launcher.exe

and then hopefully voila!  <- yup used an exclamation point there, hope I didn't trigger someone.

 

If this doesn't work for you then I'm completely wrong and sorry, but it worked for me.

GL all, happy Eidolon hunting!

 

This worked for me also, problem is, that I need to do this every time the launcher has an update. Sometimes multiple times.

Is there no way the game developers can somehow, fix this?

Still no fix? My report got set to 'Solved' without it actually being solved, have not been able to play this game for over 2 weeks now. Guess I will have to find some other game to spend my free time on. 😞

This issue has now returned for me, my previous fix is no longer working, and I can no longer play the game. Bummer. 😞

Ok, so here's what I did to fix it. I removed the launcher, for me at: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Warframe\ and replaced it with the one in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Warframe\Downloaded\Dev\Tools

I then used that launcher and it started patching the game properly. This might not work for everyone, but it did for me. (Make sure to keep the original files as backup, in case this does not work.

Hope this info is of help to someone.

I have this problem, how did you fix this? google shows little help on this subject. I do not wish to completely reinstall the game if this keeps happening.
