As their little .exe confirmed, my .NET 4.0 has indeed a few obsolete files, meaning I (and the others) might just have found a possible solution at least for this problem in particular, if anything. So, we have a suspect - great, something to work on instead of . However, as Murphy's law goes, if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong, and flight simulators and computers are no exceptions to it. And there I go trying to get the dreaded fix to run so I can finally destroy some engines properly by myself, without having to overheat it for an hour or have the flak do Swiss cheese out of it... Thing is, the fix for fixing the update error found - ta-daaa - an error  I'm trying it again to see if I have any luck today, but hopes are anything but high, I'm afraid. EDIT: In any case, here's the verifier's error log, showing what exactly is missing (a lot of things, pretty much) Quote:

TO ANYONE CONCERNED: THE LAUNCHER IS NOW WORKING.
Thank to all of those who helped. Now, the solution I found to it turned out to be very simple. 1. Open iTunes, and put 2HB by The Venus In Furs, with Thom Yorke on the vocals on. 2. Download the .NET Framework 4.0 web installer (this thingy here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...displaylang=en ) 2.1 Install it. 4. Open Steam. 4.1. Think it won't work. 4.2. Grin as the fancy crosshair appears on the screen. Note: Step 1 is not mandatory, but it's still highly advised. Now, to the arduous process of making this thing playable... EDIT: I'll just keep editing this very post just for the sake of... of whatever. Current state is, all of the menu's running pretty and everything; graphics aren't quite working and all I get when clicking fly is sound. And what a sound, by the way! But uh, I'd rather if that sound came with video. Pretty please? Trying some tweaks here and now going to (try to) fly the thing properly to see if any of the tweaks worked. EDIT 2: They did, after all! All it took was run the DirectX installer again and restart the computer, everything seems to show as it should, and if to go strictly technical, the game runs and I am able to fly all right. The performance was downright sh*te, it must be said, but for the time being I'm taking that as a minor, since I haven't fiddled with any settings and my rig isn't what one'd call ideal for the task. The update is now out and Steam's taking care of it for me ATM, I'm waiting for it to launch so I can jump in and see what's the score. Last edited by Lucas_From_Hell; 04-18-2011 at 04:59 PM.

I've done all that too, and still it crashed while loading a mission or test flight every single time.

I've been getting random launcher crashes either in the middle of a mission or trying to start the next mission...this is what i've changed so far -
Re-installed .Net framework 3.5 SP1 ( for XP) Cleared out the cache folder in My Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache Changed the resolution ( to a higher resolution ) I do not know which of these helped, but I played 3 missions from the GB campaign on the trot before I got a freeze..reloaded the game and done the next 2 missions...so a big improvement! Not sure if any of the above helped or I got lucky...will keep on testing! .

Solved - Launcher works on my system
I tried everything posted everywhere. However, the problem would always occur during the Quick Mission: "British Attack - Column", so I focused on fixing that mission with hopes that the solution will transfer to other missions.
My initial solution: Reduce the number of planes in each flight by one. That is, two Spitfires instead of three; three BF-109's instead of four, etc., for each flight in the briefing screen. I was very surprised that this reduction works consistently since I never had problems with larger numbers of planes in some other missions, such as the air battle over the channel. I assume it is a combination of planes and land features that causes the Launcher to fail. After such a long time trying to get this mission to work, I felt obliged to share my preliminary solution with the forum. Now, it may very well be that a reduction in each flight is unnecessary, or that an increase in the number of planes may also work. In fact, I suspect that this is some sort of mathematical issue such as division by zero when the number of surviving planes reaches a certain point. I don't claim to know precisely why, but the reduction mentioned at the start of this post works for me. Here is a rundown of my settings and system: In-Game Video is set for all features at their highest values except for Anti-Epilepsy Filter, SSAO and VSYNC which are unchecked. Resolution: 2560x1600, 60HZ which is native to my Dell U3011 30" monitor. Realism is all checked except for Head Shake, Engine Temperature Effects, Clouds and No Map Icons. Video Hardware is 2 x AMD HD6970's in CrossfireX, managed by the new "RadeonPro" software, available free from AMD, with all the settings set for maximum quality, not max performance so as to tax it to its limits. Clock speeds are overclocked as high as they will go using MSI Afterburner. Fan Cooling is managed by MSI Afterburner with my stock fans running so that degrees C = percent maximum speed. (i.e., 50% @ 50C, 80% @ 80C, etc. The fans are noisy at that level, but not as noisy as the inside of a real cockpit. I have convinced myself that it adds to the realism  Max temps are 70C. Frame rates run from 50 fps upwards.My System Hardware: ASUS Rampage III Formula in a Coolermaster HAF 932 case running Windows 7 Professional, 64 Bit. Intel I7-950 overclocked to 4.2GHz max with Hyperthreading OFF due to heat. 12 GB Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 Memory, Corsair 750TX Power Supply, SanDisk 240 GB SSD (Loads CLoD really fast!), Coolermaster Hyper 212 processor cooler (70c Max in CLoD), big hard drive, 2 optical drives, etc. Bells & Whistles: Saitek X-52, Saitek Pro Pedals, TrackIR 5 Headtracker, Game Commander 2 Voice control, (Oldie but Goodie!), Original Buttkicker Gamer (Works good, lasts a long time!) It all works and NO overheats! Last edited by redxfred; 08-26-2012 at 04:17 PM.

Thanks to you all for your help. The release candidate has fixed all my problems mentioned in this thread. I highly recommend it.
