In the event log, I found the following:

Application: Launcher.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Help ...

I had similar error, Problem signature 4 was maddox instead of System. After trying all kinds of tricks I reinstalled windows -> game starts. So if you're getting desperate you might try that.

[Fredfetish]

Ok... will try repair first. Very much desperate...

[Fredfetish]

... nope, still can't launch...

Hi all,
i don´t speak inglish, then i´ll write in spanish and next try in inglish. You can use translate service if not clear, or ask and i try respond.

He probado todas las ideas anteriores sin resultados. Finalmente he formateado el disco duro, instalado por este orden el sistema operativo, drivers de la placa base, todas las actualizaciones del sistema operativo, tarjeta de video, sonido, steam, x52 y trackir.
Luego he descargado e instalado el simulador.
Luego he vuelto a actualizar el sistema operativo. Las actualizaciones fueron de netframeworks 4.0
Ejecuté el juego y a los 20 minutos de nuevo el error launcher.exe.
La siguiente vez que ejecuté el juego no pasaron 10 minutos hasta que se produjo el error de nuevo.
Chequeé el visor de sucesos y observo que hay un error grave de net 4.0 y después de 1 segundo, error de launcher.exe.
Todos los errores siguen en mismo patrón, primero net4.0 y luego launcher.exe, pero cada error hace referencia a una librería distinta.
Tengo claro que el error de launcher.exe es el resultado de un error de netframe work 4.0.
Desinstalo desde windows update todo lo referente a net 4.0, ejecuto steam y cuando me solicita conectarme lo ignoro (no hago click en nigún lado) y lanzo el simulador.

Sorpresa. 45 minutos sin errores. Toco todo y ni un solo error.

Salgo del simulador y reinstalo net 4.0 desde I:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist, y vuelvo a probar sin conectar steam:

Sin error de launcher.exe.

Creo que este problema lo genera steam.
Por favor, si alguien prueba, que escriba aquí los resultados.
Además, creo subjetívamente que se gana en suavidad y en frames. También he visto efectos que no había visto antes, quizá porque antes no me dio tiempo por el error de launcher.exe.

In inglish
Open sucess event from control panel, check launcher error and previous error. In my case, 1 second before launch crash, there is a net frame work 4.0 crase. Please, write is this is correct, or not.

Double click on steam

Ignore the steam connect windows and launch game

Fly

If you have same error, check windows update and unisntall all about net frame 4.0

Fly (ignorin steam again)

If no problem, install again NFW4.0 from Steam\SteamApps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist.

Check

I don´t problem if a don´t connect steam, and i thinq sim go more smoth, but i think only.

I hope that this work for all, and we can fly this great sim.
Very very thanks, 1c support.

WORKING!!!!

Patched... same problem on launching : FileNotFound

Then uninstalled .Net 4... and (don't know if this is part of the solution) but downloaded the .Net 4 client framework from Microsoft's website... and the game worked immediately afterwards. This is after probably running the install for .Net from the redist about 20 times and re-installing the game 3 times.

WORKING joy!!! Thx for your help! Spread the word, we now know how to kill these bugs!

I have removed the game from Steam and I am redownloading it now, hoping it will fix this .Net problem. I have removed and reinstalled .Net 5 times now, and this problem still exists. Can anyone help me? Please?

Heiden,

Seems like there's a few of us for whom the patch has created crash and/or CTD problems.

My PC just shuts itself down during the game and then reboots quite frequently now (post-patch).

I'm hoping that someone out there will be able to able to help us.

In the interim, good luck!

BTW have you tried all of the suggestions from near the start of this thread? Just a thought given how old the thread is now - don't wish to insult your intelligence.

[3./JG51_Heiden]

I have tried everything. Currently downloading to re-install the game for another attempt.

I have also turned my themes in Windows to basic instead of Aero, no change.

this is a .NET error, check to mkae sure you have all your DLL's (compare with a friend who has a working version) and empty your EVENTLOG

p.s are you running MS office 2007?
