launcher stoped working(clr20r3)

[Voo_Doo67]

Hi all!

Just wanted to say I'm a long long long time il2 gamer and enjoying "clod" very much! My problem is this,I've been playing the game for two days without a hicup (well if u like not having AA in the game...hope there's a fix for that in the near future) anyways the last few hours "clod" keeps crashing and I'm not sure why and I keep getting this error:

Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: launcher.exe
Problem Signature 02: 1.0.0.0
Problem Signature 03: 4d6e3d08
Problem Signature 04: core
Problem Signature 05: 1.0.0.0
Problem Signature 06: 4e983b5b

Problem Signature 08: 24
Problem Signature 09: System.AccessViolationException
OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3

If any one has had this before please let me no as this is becoming very annoying

Thx James,

Hi

There's a known bug with a memory leak that's soon to be fixed, meanwhile you can do the following.

Do a file integrity check via Steam

Start Steam
Games
IL2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover>right click>properties>Local files>verify integrity of game cache

It should update any problems if the games corrupted.


Also re-instal the .Net package located here.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist\DotNetFx40_Client


BTW:
Are you using Vista on a HP machine ?

.

Well that was dam quick lol

Thx Alpha for the help!
I've done the integrity thingy one file was missing but now ok.I will re-instal that .net package as well thank u.( u mean repair right?)

As far as my vista on hp no way! this is a home built pc

Hope this helps James,

Your system is better than mine, yet I rarely get launcher.exe CTD's or screen freeze-ups even though I fly online almost daily for 1 - 2 hours. One thing I do prior to a session is a little chore: i go into C:\My Documents\Librairies\1C Softclub\IL2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover and delete the Cache folder. Completely. (This also deletes the Shaders subfolder within). Have no fear - a new Cache folder is created the instant you fire up CoD to play. Since I started doing this: no crashes. A couple of times I deliberately neglected to delete this Cache folder and within several sessions I began to get the dreaded launcher.exe crashes again. Dunno why this hasvworked for me and others online, but it does. This is not my original idea; I got this by suggestion off another forum.

Other performance tips:

Go into C:\Programs (x86)\Steam\Steam Apps\Common\Il2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover. Locate the launcher.exe file, right mouse click on it, then select Properties. Click in the little box (to make a checkmark) beside "Disable Desktop Composition". Click Apply/OK

If you are ofthe many that have downloaded earlier beta patches.....heed this well: Go to your PC's Windows Control Panel to Install/Uninstall and use this to completely uninstall Cliffs of Dover from your PC! Then check your C drive to ensure it's totally gone - delete any CoD file remaining.....including the 1C Softclub folder. Then open Steam and have it reinstall a fresh (and uncorrupted) copy of the latest retail version of Cliffs of Dover. I was a little skeptical until I tried it. HUGE improvement in smoothness, stability, and even in framerates. (You may wish to first save and rename your confuser.ini file temporarily to plug back into your fresh copy of CoD to retain your joystick settings -- such a pain otherwise to remap all those controls back to your joystick!!!!)

Good luck!
