dot NET 8 only error - Why is Synthesis launching and not doing anything? or Why are there so many .NET Hosts spawned?

[inire]

Hey,

I tried a new system with just .NET 8 installed for the LOLs. 0.29.2+a2c259376 version running on Win11, launched through ModOrganizer 2.5.2.

The behavior is that the GUI launches and will not let you start any patchers. Additionally, multiple (~4-6) .NET Hosts spawn in the task manager, one of which will immediately go into efficiency mode.

If anyone else is also experiencing this behavior, I fixed it by using the direct download for the .NET 7.0 SDK 7.0.410. I didn't try the desktop version.

The link for the version of .NET 7.0 I used for this is at the Microsoft site, which is linked below.

I'd be interested to see the logs. Also, might try nuking %temp%/Synthesis, which might have old build files or somesuch
