But making matters worse was the fact that turning off the launcher did not, in fact, turn it off. It just made the launcher run invisibly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apparently if the launcher closed, the game stopped recording Steam time (because launcher ID is now how the game is recognized by default),&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/RogueTraderCRPG\/comments\/1uctfze\/comment\/ot73vcd\/\" target=\"_blank\">wrote Owlcat community manager Starrok<\/a> in the Rogue Trader subreddit. In other words, if Steam didn&#8217;t detect the launcher running, it wouldn&#8217;t count your hours in the game. &#8220;The team decided to use this background process as a bandaid fix for that.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-ORV41O\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/ORV41O.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know VERY well how that looks, and unfortunately I was not informed about this change,&#8221; continued Starrok. &#8220;I&#8217;ve already communicated with the team about this and tomorrow they will research how this time display issue can be resolved in a different way rather than leaving an unkilled process that eats up memory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That was yesterday. Today, it seems that the solution Owlcat settled on was to obliterate the launcher entirely. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/2186680\/view\/708901012699615983\" target=\"_blank\">We are Rolling Back the Launcher<\/a>,&#8221; reads the title of a new announcement. &#8220;The game will now revert to the previous patch, completely removing any Launcher-related changes. Thank you for your feedback, and genuinely sorry for the frustration caused.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/RogueTraderCRPG\/comments\/1udao0g\/the_launcher_on_rogue_trader_is_being_rolled_back\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fans seem pleased<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the Owlcat Launcher lived for about 19 hours, which is slightly less than the life expectancy of an adult mayfly. It&#8217;s not the studio&#8217;s first controversy like this, either: back in 2023, fan pushback forced it to strip a data-sucking tool out of Wrath of the Righteous. <\/p>\n<p>Credit where it&#8217;s due, plenty of studios would simply leave the offending tech in and ride out the wave of complaints. Opposite-of-credit where it&#8217;s due, I can&#8217;t imagine <em>someone<\/em> at Owlcat didn&#8217;t know how this stuff would be received ahead of launch. Studio decision-makers should probably listen to them.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve reached out to Owlcat to ask if this is the final end for the launcher, or if it plans to bring it back in some form. I&#8217;ll update this piece if I hear back. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"aa86672a-51db-41e2-ac5c-456ef816f3b0\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fan-revolt-forces-rpg-studio-to-kill-its-new-launcher-just-19-hours-after-release.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"aa86672a-51db-41e2-ac5c-456ef816f3b0\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/fan-revolt-forces-rpg-studio-to-kill-its-new-launcher-just-19-hours-after-release\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an incredibly brief existence, Owlcat has completely rolled back a controversial new launcher from Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader.
