[Steam] Problems getting past the launcher.

[Solcarius]

So after taking a little break from Warframe I decided to rejoin the fight, partially for the event, partially for the upcoming updates, and partially for that sexy new Tennogen Frost gear.

However after updating Warframe to the latest build the launcher seems to just straight up crash on me after everything is patched but before the play button is even displayed. I've tried the usual;

• verifying the game cache pops up with a couple of "corrupted" files to which steam would roll back the launcher version to display Oberons deluxe armour, shortly before the launcher autoupdates and crashes again.
• Reinstalling does not fix anything.
• quickly disabling 64bit mode in the launcher options doesn't appear to fix any problems (Might just be crashing too quick to apply the change?) and the DirectX options are greyed out (I know in the past these are the toggles people suggested).
• the standalone version runs just fine but hey, I'm partly here for them Tennogen skins.
• Running the launcher exe directly starts an installation of the standalone version.

Is there some workaround I've missed or is this a global and known issue? Have I just pulled the short straw? I am running on Windows 10 and as far as I know Steam launch options doesn't support any compatibility modes (I may be wrong?)

Any help is appreciated, Cheers!
