Gregg Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just starting this evening, when I click on the Ultimate Admiral shortcut on my desktop, I get this "Error: Another instance of Launcher Client already exists!" What can I do to get past this error message? As of right now, I'm locked out of the game. Also, why do I often get a reCAPTCHA when launching the game from the shortcut? The reCAPTCHA page is always frozen, and totally inactive. I can get off the page by hitting Control-Alt-Delete, but after getting back to the game start page, the reCAPTCHA will often come back, in a frozen state.

Admiral, the launcher could be hidden in the system tray (in the bottom right part of WIndows, around clock), or you can check that in the Windows task manager there is no "launcher" process (if so, just end it).

Gregg Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yes, I found a hidden icon in the "show hidden icons" located at the bottom right corner of the screen. I closed it, and I was able to get into the game. Any idea why that crazy reCAPTCHA pops up every so often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral, If the problem still there, please follow this instruction: Capture a screenshot with the problem, or, preferably, a short video showing the problem Open Windows Command Prompt (press Windows + R), then type: %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts\log There will be log files from the launcher (e.g. 15.06.21.txt) Please copy the latest log file, then contact Xsolla support team via live chat option (help.xsolla.com) or email (support@xsolla.com), describe your issue in details and attach the log file, the screenshot or a link on video.

Gregg Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 After getting the game to work for a few weeks, it has gone right back to going to a page that says: One more step Please complete the security check to access medal.tv Exactly what is "medal.tv". Again, why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA? Besides, the scree with the above stuff is locked up, there in effect is no CAPTCHA to complete. The screen shot I get is of the custom game start up I was working on before it switched to the CAPTCHA screen, I'm unable to get an image of the CAPTCHA screen. Finally, there is no hidden Admirals Icon, in the bottom left corner of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 I found the issue, it is Microsoft's "Plays". Plays must think Admirals is a game in their system. I disabled Plays, and Admirals is once again working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Finally was able to get the screen save image. It is definitely Microsoft's "Plays" that is causing the problem. If the plays icon shows in the hidden icons tab at the lower left corner of the screen, you will likely get this screen. Thus, make sure the "Plays" icon is disabled before to attempt to start the game. Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
