Windows® 8 Cliffs of Dover Fix (is here).

[sYk0]

@theleif, can you please try the following:

1. Quit Steam (make sure it's not running in the system tray).
2. Run "CloDer.exe".
3. What is the outcome?

Same thing. " spinning wheel for 2 seconds , then nothing.

I'm using Virtu MVP (thereby using the internal graphics card to boost performance of the dedicated card). That has sometimes caused problems with some games, but just disabling it have solved them. However, to be sure I've uninstalled it, but I get the same error anyway, so it seems that is not the culprit.

Cheers

I sadly have the same problem as theleif. New Laptop, clean Win8 pro installation. As far as I can remember I had some issues with CLOD on my old laptop (win7) too, that prevents it from starting. So maybe its a compatibility problem with the game itself.

Just in case, have created an exception for CloD with your antivirus?

I saw similar issues with the original IL2 until I created an exception for the entire install folder.
I also created an exception for not only the folder but also the .exe file too. This fixed my non-launch issues.

May be worth a try?

Cheers, MP

Unfortunately I can't help if the problem isn't with the Windows 8 fix I made, however if we can figure out the cause of theleif's and DoorGunner's issues that would help too.

@theleif, I send you a Private Message (last week) regarding your issue, if you could please get back to me on that.

Update News: I'll be releasing an update of the fix shortly, it's nothing of great significance but does allow users to start a "Cliffs of Dover" server on their pc's (I'm sure someone will want sooner or later).

Regards,

@arass: Was the game in German language before the Windows® 8 fix?

War das spiel in Deutscher sprache vor der Windows ® 8 fix?

[arass]
