Please ensure that "CloDer.exe" and "CloDer.dll" are both in the same directory (for ease of use, place both files in your Cliffs of Dover directory [same folder as "Launcher.exe"]).

Your Steam installation shouldn't (I'm guessing here) install any of the VC++ 2012 or .NET 4.0 run-times, the ones that come with Windows 8 are newer than the ones required by the game (I will however double check this, if it is the case I will implement a workaround into "CloDer").

Unfortunately, I can't help you any further at the moment but I'll have an in-depth look at your problem a littler later (when I get home).

To aid myself (and the community) in solving your problem please post some additional information:

1. Windows 8 (Standard or Pro)?
   
2. Build number?
   
3. System Type (x86 or x64)?
   
4. Graphics Driver version?
   
5. If possible, please provide some information about your computer hardware.
6. Have you successfully run Cliffs of Dover on a previous version of Windows (with the same hardware)?

Sorry for the late reply, but here it goes:
I have both files in the COD directory, in the same folder as launcher.exe.
There is a installation error where COD tries to install VC redist every time I launch the game. That has happened to me in other games, but it has never prevented me from launching a game. Anyway, I've used the workaround in the other thread to stop it from installing every time I launch it.

This is my specs:[*]Win 8 Pro Swedish [*]Build number: 6.2.9200 [*]System Type x64 [*]Graphics drivers are the latest (non beta) 12.10 drivers from AMD [*]My system:
Graphics: Gigabyte Windforce 7970OC (AMD)
Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K
Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
System disk: Samsung 830 Series MZ-7PC128 128GB
Other disk (where steam are): Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 HDS723020BLA642 64MB 2TB in IRST mode with a 60 GB OCZ Vertex Plus.
Memory: Corsair 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (4x)
And CoD worked on my previous Win 7 build on the same hardware. I'm pretty sure It worked when I just did an upgrade from 7 to 8 as well, but I'm not 100% certain that was the case. I first made an upgrade instead of a clean install, which went smooth as hell (surprisingly). Decided to do a clean install anyway to start fresh with an new OS.

Cheers.
And thank you for the great job you are doing.
Edit: For some reason it seems to ignore my line breaks after the edit. Sorry for the system spec mess.
