I just finished downloading and installing the mega patch and update 5.0 patches, but when I go to launch the game, it just...doesn't. I'm using the Steam version of XWA and the game simply closes when I hit "play". When looking at my status on steam, I go from being in-game to simply "online", and the game disappears from my task manager. I have not installed or changed anything else besides downloading the two patches and I'm attempting to play an otherwise vanilla XWA experience. Does anyone have any suggestion?
Update: The above happens when starting XWA from the Steam launcher, but the game seems to function normally when launched directly from my files? Still, any advice or suggestions are welcome

Yes that‘s a thing with steam that‘s come up a few times now. You‘ll need to use the custom launcher that‘s being created as part of the patch installation.
I‘m going to put this in a FAQ theead which will be released later this week.
