Hi, I have an urgent question. A client has been having a problem, that even when they uncheck 'launch presentation in new window' in the player template settings, the launch page still shows up after the scorm is loaded to the LMS. I checked and I am having the same problem. I unchecked it, published it and tested it several times but it's still showing the launch page. Is there a way to actually get rid of the launch page? I tried creating a new player template with their same settings, but it's still showing up.
You mention disabling the launch in new window, but still seeing a launch page. Are you viewing the HTML5 output? If so, there will always need to be a launch page as the HTML5 output does not allow for auto play. If I'm misunderstanding your question, can you provide a bit more information about your set up and how you're testing this (i.e. browser, LMS, etc.). The other way you may want to test is by loading the course to a site such as SCORM Cloud, which is an industry standard testing method to see if you're able to replicate the behavior there.
I'm testing it with my company'sLMS. I did try using scorm cloud, and I got the same problem and actually the course didn't load at all on there. I got an error message saying "can't read LMS API' and a lot of debug errors. I'll list them here although I'm not sure if you could help with these:

Thanks for sharing that here, but you're correct in your suspicions, that it's nothing something I'd know how to assist with. If you'd like to share your Presenter files here with us, or privately here we're happy to help you out with further testing to ensure everything is working as designed.
