what he said :)

How do I do that? :confused:

Ermm maybe more bad news... It seems to work best in SP with no difficulties on except clouds. - Still Testing.

Everyone seems to have their own "this fixed it" method for launcher crashes. I hate to say it but at this point it's just superstition and speculation until we know what causes it.

Testing different settings will definitely help the process of finding the cause but until a method or fix is tested by many users and proven to work, don't expect something like this to be a miracle fix.

For example, I don't even have an anti virus on my machine and I still get crashes, so that first step is null. I've verified my local files multiple times with no effect. Deleted my cache folder with no effect. Haven't tried disabling the steam cloud/community thing, but I'd be very shocked if that has anything to do with gameplay as I'm pretty sure that stuff isn't actively doing anything during/just before a launcher crash, but I haven't tried so its obviously worth a shot. And the method you copy the files to the cliffs of Dover folder is kind of straightforward...you either copied the files to the right place and overwrote the applicable ones or you didn't. There's no correct/more correct way to do it.

My guess is the reason CloD is crashing has to do with a memory leak, which I'm not sure we can do anything about, or an issue with aircraft LOD models, as I've noticed, along with many others, that crashes seem to happen while approaching/leaving other aircraft...queuing the game to call in the different level-of-detail (LOD) models as they get closer/farther.

My guess is that during your 3 hour test flight, you didn't encounter any aircraft to transition LODs, nor were you online, which is the only place I get crashes. It could also be affected by your low video settings, which could be a factor.

Whoops double post

Saw your core seemed to look a bit different to what i remembered mine looking.. copy/pasted it into mine,and now i finally got wavy water again :-P

Can't even start explaining how frustrating it have been. Was close to smashing my machine trying to get the water back to normal.

So thanx :)

Lots of tools to do it are available on the net. Microsoft made one called FCIV: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 A checksum is like a digital fingerprint. To put it simply: If two files are identical, they will have the same checksum. If they are not identical, they will not have the same checksum.

If 1C (or someone with a known-to-be-working copy) supplies a checksum of the patch, then you can check the file that you download to see if it has the same checksum: an easy way to tell if your file is corrupted or not.

All of this "jumping up and down and holding my breath while copying files using my left hand instead of my right" does not make any sense.

The net code is bugged, game crashes when playing online and crashes much less when playing offline.

*shrug*

I flew last night for quite a while with no crashes.

Well i have a hard time believing all this but give it a shot guys and let us know how much it does or does not crash.

My settings are fine, but somehow the game forgets about the chat-window every time I start the game. It always reverts to the standard position, so I always have to drag it to the top left corner and make it a little smaller as I want it.

Any ideas?
