Critical: Can't launch game with MGLauncher after uninstalling Game Center

After upgrading Game Center to MGLauncher and uninstalling Game Center, Allods won't launch anymore.
A fresh install of MGLauncher also doesn't install Game Center.
As a user, you now have no possibility of installing Game Center again at this point.


This is a deadlock, where you can't get the game to launch anymore and can't fix the issue under any circumstances as a user.

Please Fix ASAP.


This is also a potential issue for new users, who never had Game Center installed on their machine, which would be unable to launch the game at all.


Steps to reproduce:
  1. Upgrade from Game Center to MGLauncher
  2. Uninstall Game Center
  3. Allods Online (EN) won't launch from within MGLauncher
  4. AllodsLoader.exe from https://allods.my.games/en/download only installs MGLauncher, but not Game Center
  5. Uninstalling MGLauncher and reinstalling MGLauncher doesn't bring back any Game Center functionality
  6. There is no way to reinstall Game Center
  7. "Verify and fix installed game client files" doesn't do anything either

worked fine until i uninstalled gamecenter :rolleyes:
MG launcher starts the MRACSVC.EXE, allods.exe gets started and then disappears immediately

Update:

It seems as the Steam version currently still runs via Game Center and does not force you to use MGLauncher, so this issue does not currently involve the Steam version.

Thank you for your input. From the video it seems as you can still download Game Center via https://store.my.games/about/?from=gamecenter.

Why the new MGLauncher exists, is really confusing, since the stack of execution to launch Allods Online now is:
Launch MGLauncher (MGL.exe) -> launches Game Center launcher (GameCenter.exe) -> launches Allods Online launcher (Launcher.exe) -> launches Allods Online (AOgame.exe)
Thus, bringing no direct benefit, since everything relies on eachother, but it appears that parts of this execution chain don't bring their required parts with themselves.
