How I make the Launcher crash every time. Step by step method ;)

[Mysticpuma]

This is the procedure I have found will always get me a Launcher Crash. Forgive me, but I may as-well post all things that I do.This is with the latest Beta Patch installed, updates for the game in Steam are switched off. I also did the .net patch which is under the thread "it really works".

Launch Track IR

Launch Thrustmaster Cougar Software and load my profile.

Launch Steam

Launch Game from desktop Icon.

Steam says installing 1 update " Microsoft VC Redist Package (update 1 of 1)

Game starts. I hit escape to clear the loading menu text, I then hit it again to get me to the menu screen.

Once on the menu screen I choose Quick Mission

I then drag the menu down to choose "Aerial Battle -Calais"

Click on the Spitfire once (top right aircraft of images shown)

Then load the game.

The screen eventually reaches the map screen with the option of "Back" "Player Plane" or "Fly"

I hit "Fly"

I hit A for "Auto Pilot"

I then hit the ] key to speed up the game until the dogfighting starts. (for the purpose of this I left it running)

I speed up and slow down using the [ and ] keys

Eventually my flight turns for home

I hit escape

I then go back to the menu screen.

I hit Exit and I get stats for the mission I have just played

I hit "Back" in the bottom left corner

This takes me back to the Quick Mission selection screen

I don't make any choice (assuming that I will just refly the same mission)

I hit "Fly"

"Launcher Has stopped working"


This happens every time
