Can't launch the game

[whoarmongar]

To be honest your problem is beyond me, but if I were you I would do this
Remove the russian version, multiple versions cant be good.
Revert your Fr Version (read forum can probably be done through steam)
clean up files and folders
allow steam to autoupdate to latest official patch (no beta)
It should be in. Program Files(x86)/steam/SteamApps/common/il-2 sturmoCoD.

I had the exact same symptoms with a poorly applied patch, yellow cross then nothing, I reinstalled the patch correctly and it worked fine, I thought this was your problem, the extra copy of the game is just a complicating factor that you dont need.

I still think one of these two things are at the root of your problem, I have had problems with this game making very minor changes, for example I changed a button mapping on my joystick and lost all joystick controls. For it to have stopped working something must have changed. If you have auto updates enabled what version is updated for example?

The russian version is already removed. I tried it to see if the problem was the same and it was.

I don't even have a yellow cross when launching the game. The launcher crashes as soon as executed, 0.00001 second after I double click.

It can't be due to patch, since I didn't install any beta patch after reinstall.

A few more details.

The error I have is a unhandledexception. The CLR20r3 :

I tried to uninstall and reinstall Framework 4.0 but it didn't work

By the way, I've installed Visual Studio 2008 recently and I think I got the problem after that...

[whoarmongar]

Doesnt it seem to you that your launcher is trying to launch the wrong game version ?

[Vylsain]

Nope. Anyway, I have only one version of the game.

Same thing happened to me after I installed Visual Studio 2010 Express... long story short, ran the dotnet verfication tool (link below) and dotnet 4 failed so, un-installed Visual Studio & dotnet 4, re-installed dotnet 4, ran the dotnet verification tool (passed).

Another point worth considering is to make sure that your OS is up to date as far as service packs go etc....mine wasn't

Hope this helps

I am able to play the game for a few minutes and then I get a launcher error. What I am wondering is since so many people are having the same issues, has there been any official recognition of the problem from 1C?

Thank you Goanna. I feel we're close from the solution.

I uninstalled VS2008 and .NET 4.0. I reinstalled .NET 4.0 but still have a "product verification failed" with the tool you linked.

I have this message in the log :

[04/26/11,14:20:02] Install state for .NET Framework 4 Client: installed with no service packs.
[04/26/11,14:20:02] Install state for .NET Framework 4 Full: installed with no service packs.

As you said, you updated your OS to have those service packs. The problem is that mine is up to date. I just checked Windows update and there are no service packs updates...

[Vylsain]

I just checked my updates historic and some updates failed at installation...

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2443685)
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB976932)
Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2443685)
Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2419640)

Some of these updates were installed later but anywat, I still got the error message ".NET Framework 4 Full: installed with no service packs. "

There must be a missing update but which one and how can I install it since Windows update says my OS is up to date
