Hello, I'm having trouble authorizing because I can't log in via Google in Chrome for Testing. So I'm trying the old method, by filling out the auth.json file, just like before. However, when I launch the OFDL app, the auth.json file is deleted and the OFDL app closes. The same thing happens when I log in to another account I created for testing purposes, which logs in directly via email and password (not via Google login). Could you please help? What could be causing this?

Best regards.

You can enable DisableBrowserAuth and it will no longer delete the auth.json, but it only gets deleted if the authentication fails with those values. It's very easy to misformat the file, so if you are going that route, make sure to generate it via the browser extension. You can also set a password on your main account and log in directly without going through Google. Beyond that, check the log files to see what errors are being thrown.

Hi! The problem has been solved. The reason for these application crashes was that OFDL was placed in the Chrome folder, which was somehow blocked from editing files. After moving the application to a different folder directly on the hard drive, everything works as expected! Of course, thanks to Melithine for the tip about editing the config file. I also used that. And for the idea of ​​assigning a password to the account to log in without Google. I hadn't thought of that...
Thank you!
