Try going to Microsoft and running the Net framework 4 installer, works better than doing a repair :)....this was/is? a common problem, the installer will fix the files :)

Unsupported? You don't say.

CloD runs okay for me.

There's the business with all the propellers (at different times on different aircraft, but most of them seem to do it) occasionally almost stopping then restarting (in about a second, which something that heavy just couldn't do), it doesn't look realistic to me. If nobody else is seeing that I'd like to know about that, but it looks as if it's meant to happen.

Friendly AI die on landing for no reason I can see, but apparently everyone gets that.

Apart from that, no problems.

Win7 64 bit home premium,

People are tired of trying to get this game working....

i gave up, isn't worth the effort.

Then why bother coming here and writing in a thread when its someone asking for help? Why bother come here at all? There are loads of poeple who play the game every day. Ask atag. Works without a hitch for me.

It works fairly decent after the latest patch for most folks I know. There are plenty of bugs still, but none are really a deal breaker for me.

Sometimes when the game installs User Account Controls interfere with the install. Stopping direct x and dot net frame work from installing. (game installs dot net framework 3.5 by the way, not the new 4!) However if this was the case your game would probably not start. Might be insufficent ram or some kind of fire wall, anti virus (one of our guys had a problem like that with some program called "spyware doctor" - it protected his computer by not letting him use it:) ).

A bit of a conflict when Win 7 installs nf4, and Steam comes along and adjust those files. Anyway I think that you are spot on with a software issue, or firewall. MS security essentials is a very good anti virus program that EZ should use, if he's not already...and its free!
