Launcher.exe closing after 5 seconds, no error message

[unreasonable]

You and a lot of other people - enough for there to be a poll about it.

I cannot get it running on my newer PC (also Nvidea 470) but my old PC (nvidea 275) will run it - slowly!

In your particular case, does it start and then a black screen shows or is it also nothing followed by an amusing amount of nothing?

This happened to me when one of my files was corrupted. Have any of you guys tried getting steam to validate your files? In steam library, right-click CoD, Properties, Local Files tab, Verify Integrity of Game Cache. If it finds a corrupted file it will redownload it.

So far I have:

Reinstalled CoD.

Verified file integrity thingie.

Checked I am up to date with patch (I am)

Reinstalled DX

Reinstalled Net.4

Rolled back to 260 nvidea drivers from most recent set

Turned off Avast firewall.

No dice. I get the a/c and gunsight logo then after 5 seconds the launcher error window. If I close the error window (but not exit the program) I get the Ubi movie and then the epi warning, and I can get to the menus, but any attempt to alter settings will not work. If I try to load a mission I am returned to the previous menu page and the error message reappears. Closing this exits CoD altogether.

I have pet techno-geek who is going to come and check out my setup but he is not available until 13th April: if he comes up with a solution I will be sure to share!

All a bit of a shame as I am enjoying my training flights on my other inferior PC.

Specs: Win 7 64bit, Intel Core i7 CPU 860@ 2.8GHz, 8.00GB RAM, nvidea GTX 470

Tried my luck with integrity too (ages ago and again now), no joy. Trying going back to 260 drivers right now (only step I hadn't properly tried, if to think of it), will tell how it goes (if it goes at all, that is).

...nope, nothing.

The beta 270 drivers do not do the trick either.

With the amount of pilots grounded right now, I think Hitler's enjoying a drink with the King in Buckingham already. Meanwhile, trying another reinstall while running Steam as admin to see if it does the trick this time around. I think I'm entering pre-CoD depression again... Back then, it was still CoD

had the same issue and this is how i fixed it. delete the il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder in 1C SoftClub folder located in documents. I'm not sure that this will help all of you but for me it did.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately didn't do much here... This is a bit sad, and apparently there's been no apparent solution in some cases.
