Well having taken the advice above, I no-longer get the 'Installing Microsoft Redist" message. Cool!
I do however now get Launcher crashes every time I play the game, during the middle of a mission. I get black artefacts (no it's not the Graphics card getting hot...it's fine and works in every other game!) flashing onto the screen...and then the Screen goes completely Black, the sound keeps running and if I hit Escape it tells me that the Launcher has stopped working.....again!
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
