Thank you! This did not start Steam for me (gave error if Steam was not runing) and I am too lazy to start it myself So I changed it to:

Start Game:

rmdir /s "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache"
Start "" "steam://rungameid/63950"

Go directly to Repka #1 server bypassing menus (change IP for any other server):

rmdir /s "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache"
Start "" "steam://connect/84.17.22.14:27016"

Manual:
1. Copy to notepad.
2. Replace the USERNAME with what you have in your system path.
3. Save as a .bat file, i.e. a file with a "bat" extension. (How to create a bat file.)

Please test if it helps to stop launcher crash.

EDIT Attached file should work for everyone at least on Win-7. No need to edit path/username, just extract and run. Please report if it helps to stop crashes.
