Description

Was already reported in the Discord but I'll just repost it here in case;

If you try launching while Steam is closed, you'll get an error code 53 (I think that was the number). It still launches Steam and Isaac, though REPENTOGON is not attached. I think when launching the game while Steam is closed, the launcher should wait until Isaac opens. Or alternatively, just tell the user Steam's not running.

Research direction

Reproduce the launch with Steam closed and observe the error 53 behavior. Inspect the launcher startup path to determine whether it waits for Isaac or reports that Steam is not running; done when the selected behavior occurs and REPENTOGON attaches successfully when Steam starts.
