Last Stove update BREAKS the launcher entirely [3]
Since the last update of Stove Windows app, from 05/02/2026, the software do not open anymore. It loops the loading, close loading, then starts to load again, continuously.
I uninstalled, removed everything, then installed again. The issue persists. I've been using it since the launch of Chaos Zero Nightmare, and this is the first time I had an issue with the launcher.
My PC is a:
RTX4070
64GBDDR5
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor
Win11Pro - updated

Thank you.
Hello Yuna,
I removed the version of the C++ Redistributable that I had, newer, then installed this version.
It didn't work.
I also updated to the newer version, which also didn't work. I reinstalled both multiple times, just to be sure, but the issue persists. I'm going to get the logs and add them to the Ticket I created yesterday.
Thank you for providing support. Hope you guys be able to find the reason for the issue as soon as possible.

NevellinSame here I found a workaround go to the STOVE app right click it (this part is important) then run it as administrator You can’t open it normally or the bug will happen again Also make sure the app isn’t running in the background before trying this It’s only a workaround I hope they fix it
