You are passing parameters wrong.
Here's the right way to run your case tiktok-dl -archive -batch-file users.txt

Issue persists,
Directory> tiktok-dl -archive -batch-file users.txt
Preloading...
Retrieving items...
Error : "ERR: Couldn't find this account"
Failed while scraping item: users.txt

Edit:
My theory is that it thinks users.txt is a user and attempts to download it as such, heres some proof to support this.

Is your users.txt file in the same directory as tiktok-dl?
Try giving it the entire path name.
C:\folder\users.txt
Also how do you have your users listed in the text file? mine looks like:
@name1
@name2
@name3
etc

Putting @'s before the usernames seems to have fixed it but I cant be sure, it doesn't go past the preloading stage anymore.

Edit: It seems putting @'s did not work, I have tried giving it the entire file path and having it in the same folder as tiktok-dl, those are also how the usernames are listed.

Does downloading a single account without the batch file work?

Yep.

Strange. I am currently unable to download anything right now myself with batch file or just a username. Hopefully the dev will have a response.
