ScottHope: When I install the game using my old installer file (April 2020), clicking the PLAY NOW button displays the download game page. If I then install the game again, without uninstalling the old version, using a new download, the game opens when clicking the PLAY NOW button.
Scott, that is exactly what was causing the PLAY NOW button not to work for me.
I had downloaded 2 WGTLauncher.msi files. One was dated 11/7/2019 and one was dated 11/10/2020. Neither of those would allow the PLAY NOW button to launch the app - they simply opened a pop-up window to download the launcher.
I downloaded the Launcher file again, and did as you did (installed the game again without uninstalling the old version first). Now my PLAY NOW button works.
After installing, the first time you click PLAY NOW, you get the following dialog box:
If you click the check box and then click the Open LauncherWinForms button, it will open the WGT Launcher and start the game. This also works if you click the PLAY NOW button on a CC tournament.
All of this using Windows 10 and the latest version of Chrome.
Thanks, Scott.
