Can we please get more information on this?

What do you mean with, it won't launch most of the time. The game browser window won't launch or the lobby? Any you getting any error messages or what exactly happens instead?

Hello Chris,
The main menu of Voobly opens with the contacts. The game browser wont open either automatically or by pressing it. But I can tell you when a friend of mine invite me in a game, I could enter the game. I have no idea why this is happening. No error messages.

Let's first agree on the terminology.

The window where you launch the game as host or join as player is called game room. A game lobby lists all the game rooms, in MS we have more than 100 game rooms, in NPL or CS there are only 75 of them. The game browser lists all active game lobbies, when you right-click the Voobly icon next to your system clock.

Could you please explain step-by-step how to reproduce the behavior and where exactly you have the issue. Thanks.

Let me try to reproduce it step by step.

When you sign in, a windows opens with all the contacts, which shows who is active. The game browser does not open in any way (a stuck window appears in the taskbar but when you click it nothing happens). When you try to open it with file --> game browser it does not open too. I dont even reach the game lobby lists thats why i havent mentioned anything. I need to mention that when I am invited in a game, thats the only way I can join MS game lobby lists and join a game room.

Maybe Im not exlaining things properly, can someone maybe clarify things better?

Is it possible, that the game browser window is simply off screen? Try this:
