I do however now get Launcher crashes every time I play the game, during the middle of a mission.

I honestly want to like ClOd, I really do...but so-far I have never completed a mission without a Launcher crash...it's CloDDY ridiculous!

I'll just wait again for the next Alpha/Beta patch...give it a try and see what happens :(

I have enabled my Log files, so now get Crash dumps....but can't find the email address to send them too?

Any chance of that email? Cheers, MP

I believe it is something in your system, a piece of software, anti virus, even another game. Look at my modest system I never ever get a ctd, even after a couple hours straight in and out of game play...read through this Steam guide, maybe it will help locate a problem.

also, you should run the WEI so as to check your hardware

Are you using 64bit Win?

I had a lot of crashes with the last official patch, but I was using 32bit OS then.
Installed 64 bit OS and then I had CTDs but very, very rare, even in notorious official patch.

This black artefacts you are talking about sounds like a driver problem.
We have the same graphic card so I know it is not overheating.

Yes Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate version.

Nvidia Driver 301.42 (official release not Beta)

I'll post a video tomorrow showing the issue :(

Cheers, MP

Why don't you try it with some older drivers, I don't think the newer ones will give much better performance in CloD.They are optimised mostly for GTX6xx series and more popular games.

I'm using realy old one 280.26 because I wanted to see how much perfomance increase we will get with betas.And I have very good performance.
Also nvidia had TDR problems with newer drivers especially with GTX560.
From what I saw 295.73 are the last stable ones for the most of users.
Maybe you could try them and errase the possible residues with DCleaner Pro
just to be shure.

Good luck!
