The new launcher looks great and functions okay, but there's a few little problems I've run into.
1. Launcher not recognizing external Java installations.
I was trying to get the launcher to recognize external Java installations, to see if I could get it to work with newer Java than the included 1.7.0 version. No matter what directory I tried to set the external Java settings to, the launcher didn't recognize tha there was any Java Executables in the directory, giving me a red notification about "The specified directory does not contain a java executable". Is this feature not implemented yet, or what is the problem?
2. Launcher not running game on Dedicated GPU.
For some reason, the launcher doesn't seem to be using the correct GPU to run the game. It seems to be locked on using the Intel HD 4000 series integrated GPU my laptop has, when it should be using the dedicated AMD Radeon HD 8750M GPU. I've tried adding the both the launcher executable and the game itself into my AMD settings panel, in the hopes of trying to get it to work, but so far this has been unsuccesful. I don't know what else to do, since it just doesnt seem to be working right.
I know this, because the game exhibits the symptoms of the "render screen in blue on Intel GPUs" bug when I have Framebuffer activated in game. I used the same exact settings on my non-steam install (including turning Framebuffer ON), using the old v16 Launcher and the game is running on the AMD GPU, because the Intel GPU bug is not present there.
The Drivers for both GPU's are as up to date as they can be, so it should not be a driver problem, the only difference between the New launcher and the non-Steam version of the game is the Java version they use, the New launcher is running the bundled Java(jre1.7.0_80 64-bit), whereas the non-Steam version is using the latest Java installation available (jre1.8.0_102 64-bit).
My system Specs are:
CPU: Intel i5-3210M
GPUs: Intel HD 4000 series / AMD Radeon HD 8750M (1024MB dedicated memory)
RAM: 8GB
HDD: 1TB
OS: Windows 10 64-bit
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be willing to try them, but nothing I've tried has worked on these two problems.
