On my first install of Fedora the LUG tool made the game install and run perfectly. However, I had to wipe my computer and reinstall Fedora again. After that, the game crashes during download of the game. The pre flight checks are all good, the launcher installs and runs perfectly, but it downloads the game for a few seconds before closing down. The progress stays, so with enough patientsI will be able to download it all, but I am unsure how stable the game will run by then. There are no troubleshooting tips and tricks on this kind of crash on the LUG wiki either. Anyone have any idea on what I could try to fix it and make the game playable again?

Does the issue happens on the same version of the launcher or was there an update between both of your installs? Maybe something changed since then causing a new bug?

Can't say I had this specific issue with the RSI Launcher but I had something similar happen with The Elder Scrolls Online one (just with constant freezing instead of outright crashing). In my case the reason is download speed - if I leave it uncapped, the whole thing gets bogged down for some reason.

No idea if it's the same problem here but you could try changing either the speed limit or the max concurrent download value.

It was one of the first things I installed after the clean boot, so new problem with the same launcher. I might have an opposite issue to you, with a slow download that might cause issues. But the crashes is clean shutdowns, no warning or error, just closes down and opens up normally if I try again.

Have you checked the "sc-launch.log" file? It should be in the root of your prefix folder, might have something useful about the crashes.
