After hours of playing around with C++ stuff, Direct X, Etc...

The fix for the launcher closing as soon as you try to open it might be more simple than we think.

First, try to reach this webpage: https://api.nexon.io/
(If you see any kind of DNS error then you might had the same problem that i had)

Next, follow this guide: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
(Remember to write down and save any kind of DNS that you are already using)

And THAT is all i did, just changed the DNS of my IPv4 to 8.8.8.8 and now my launcher works without a single problem

(I think i will go now and contact my internet service provider and see if i have to reset my service or something and maybe change my router for a newer one :( )

Welp, I hope this can help anyone that had this problem with the launcher just like i did.

    That's a really odd fix (to say the least). Although I'm glad it worked for you; I don't think many people are going to need to do this. I'm not even sure if what you did was required or not (an overkill solution). ~ By that I mean, you may have had the same result running an /ipconfig reset.

    Thanks, I will try this bat file (And yeah, it is a really odd fix... But a fix none the less :D and now i can stop cursing all existence in life and smash my head all over the wall trying to find a fix for the problem)

    I don't really play this Nexon title, but I must say I am grateful for this thread. Had the same problem on other Nexon Game and this fixed it for me.
    Only difference is that I had to add google DNS in to my router since is one of those annoying all in one Modems (cable modem + WiFi router)
    Anyways thanks for your help. :)
