Contacting support, right now
I gave him my version, download link etc. He is going to try it out himself and get back to me.
EDIT: Chatlog, it's a know bug
Thank you for your patience. A Technical Support Representative will be with you shortly.
You are now chatting with 'Chris'
Chris: Hello Austin! How are you today?
Me: I'm doing great! So I guess I was just wondering how I can get the desktop client to work.
Chris: One moment please. I would like to test the desktop icon.
Me: It's on a completely fresh desktop. Potco hasn't been installed. So the servers might not be hosting the Phase1.pyd and .mf needed to run the game
Chris: How is the reinstall coming?
Me: It isn't haha.
Chris: Please reinstall the game.
Me: I can't.. Arentt I supposed to do it via the launcher?
Chris: I am sorry I stated the wrong thing for your chat.
Chris: That is a know issue. You will need to login though the website till we can fix this issue.
Me: Oh okay, well thanks anyways! Glad it's 'known'
