Default In patched version ...mission loads to ~90% and then ......

.... you guessed it .... Windows popup reports Launcher.exe failed ....

the game itself loads, menus are active and all is normal.

I select a quick mission and reduce planes to 1 on 1.

I've been trying to use firstly the 1.09.xxx and recently 1.10.xxx

I've searched, followed tips and read all the various threads I can find. All to no avail.

When I integrity check my installation [via steam] and set it back to 1.05.xxx, the game is fine and all work [medium settings, 2xAA across the board]

My PC is old but the game does run acceptably for me. OK, Win7 and a generally better PC solution is on the cards but my current PC, I know, can do the job until then. It is with 1.05.xxx so why the launcher error with the patch update?

XP SP3
4 GB RAM installed
Athalon 245 at 3GHz
GTX550Ti

I re-downloaded the patch in case of a dl error etc but always the same error when the selected mission load progress gets to ~90%.

I can always get back to normal via the integrity check process [1.05.xxx version]

Do I just have to wait for Steam update I guess?

Any advice appreciated.
