Roger.
Have just uninstalled and downloaded again, so I'll try this.
Getting a bit panicky now though!
Wish me luck!

Still at a loss here...

Have reinstalled game, directX, .NET framework, installed some windows updates etc.
I dont have the \1C SoftClub\ folder at all...maybe because the game has never been launched.

Big sigh...

Sorry, mate - I've just gone in and out twice now since re-installing.

Having said that, I didn't have TrackIR enabled as previously, and nor were the joystick or pedals plugged in (not that I can see why the hardware would make any difference).

Have a funny feeling this is not over yet though...

Good luck.

Drivers for what?
And what registry entry? Not seen anyone mention problems with the registry...yet... I also bought RegCure because of this, but it didnt fix the problem.

Buzz,

Wouldn't want to claim that I'd "fixed it"!

I did all the suggested things (conf.ini, redist folder, Steam local files, etc.), which didn't work.

Since then all's I've done is uninstall and re-install the game.

I haven't touched the 1CSoftClub folder yet.

As I said, though, the two recent successful loadings of the game were without TrackIR and without joystick and pedals plugged in. Furthermore, they only went as far as the menu and a few settings changes - no actual flying.

I'll test tomorrow morning whether TrackIR, pedals, etc. make any difference to the current successful loading.

We really shouldn't have to be going through all this, though; especially not messing around in the registry.

Good luck, Buzz et al.

WoW!! Mine is working too now...wohooo

Didn't do anything new me neither.
Reinstalled game for 4th time, re-ran the programs in redist folder, reinstalled the graphic driver...

Suddenly its working...strange.
Even been in and out twice now...scary

No other game have I ever purchased takes two friggin hours to load and then won't start because it won't launch.
Steam friggin sucks and now I know why everyone was spewing when it was put on that stupid system.
Not all of us are friggin computer savy. Imagine someone buying this piece of crap and expects it load easily like every other friggin game.
I've waited, literally years for this friggin thing to come out and this is what I get. Some piece of crap that I might as well throw in the bin. I've waited up late to see this thing run and now it won't.
What a sorry piece of crap.

If you are running XP and your launcher is freezing, set your grass to off and it will load. you may also have to set your forests to very low to stop the sea appearing green.

What is the 602 squadron in your name? If its a virtual squadron, do they have a web site?

All gone again this morning having changed nothing!

Crashes during the Ubi splash screen again.

So, it's not a consistent problem even with consistent settings (AV off, TrackIR either on or off, etc.).

I am at a complete loss.

The only thing left for me to try is the 1C folder thing, but I have little faith.

Quite disappointing, especially the lack of official response and guidance.
