DN:MP launcher crashes Windows 8.1
 
I suppose this is more of a heads up because i found a fix.

Whenever i try to launch Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project from the Anthology launcher it crashes after i press the "play game" button.

Anyway, i fixed the problem, i just made the .bat file open the old launcher instead and now it's working perfectly from the Anthology launcher.

Thought i would let someone at 3DR know to they can fix it in a later update.

We haven't heard about this issue.
Have you tried running the launcher as Administrator?

Running it as an administrator works, i feel like a knob. :doh:

Although i have got the Anthology set up to run through Steam and not through a shortcut. I got set up so the Anthology launcher runs the MPconfig-old.exe instead of the default launcher which works without having to run it as an admin.

So it's not a serious, game breaking issue but one of those little annoying ones.
