Bug has been fixed, update has not been pushed just yet, but should be in a few hours. Duplicate of https://github.com/TcNobo/TcNo-Acc-Switcher/issues/177

[twisted89]

Still occurs in latest update. FYI my shortcuts don't contain "Steam" - "C:\Program Files\TcNo Account Switcher\TcNo-Acc-Switcher.exe" +s: "

[TCNOco]

The shortcut should be correct:

• To open the Steam switcher in the TcNo Account Switcher, the shortcut points to: "C:\Program Files\TcNo Account Switcher\TcNo-Acc-Switcher.exe" steam
• To switch accounts, use: "C:\Program Files\TcNo Account Switcher\TcNo-Acc-Switcher.exe" +s:76561............
• To switch accounts for Steam to say Busy mode: "C:\Program Files\TcNo Account Switcher\TcNo-Acc-Switcher.exe" +s:76561...........:4

I can't get an error using these... I assume you have removed the steam ID from your shortcut in this post as nothing is after +s:. Removing it from my shortcuts and testing just to see relaunches steam. no crash.

[TCNOco]

That being said is it the same error? If you delete the shortcut, remove the account from the TcNo Account Switcher and add it back, does it work? What about clearing the following folders?

• %AppData%\TcNo Account Switcher\LoginCache\Steam
• %AppData%\TcNo Account Switcher\wwwroot\img\profiles\steam
