Launcher Crash

[Buzzer]

Im having same problem:
Launcher is crashing. Game installed and activated without problem.
But when trying to run it, the launcher crashes.
All other games (including steam-games) works fine.

I have installed from a DVD, but also tried to DL the whole thing from STEAM.

I have reinstalled DirectX from the \redist folder.

(((FIXED: Problem I cannot reinstall the VCRedist (vcredist_x86.exe) for some reason.
Also DL that from Microsoft. Its "trying to use a network resource that is unavailable"...that its pointing to a path where "vc_red.msi" is supposed to be, but is not. Cannot find vc_red.msi anywhere on my PC.
No idea if this is why the launcher fails though...)))

I had the same problem. Turned out that AVG thought that the game was a virus. Disabling AVG worked for me.

Im using AVast antivirus.
Have turned OFF all shields etc. Still same problem.
No way to turn it completely off afaik....Right clicking on taskbar - no turn off option.

Uninstalled AV...still same problem!
Sigh...

had the same problem.
right click on il2-cliffs of dover in your gamelist
open properties, local files, and run integrity game cache.
it found one file missing for me.

I now have it working

I removed all the CloD files (DELETE LOCAL GAME CONTENT) and re-installed.

I also uninstalled AVG (I have Avast instead now).

Not sure which one caused the success but hey...

Hi Delta-any luck yet?I got the same problem,waiting for response from steam support ---meantime ordered the collectors edition from ubi

Just re-installed game, tried all the 'fixes'.

Went in OK first time, but then made a few changes to the options, and the launcher crashed again.

Why would that be then? Something to do with the profile file that's created when you make changes?

Becoming very tedious now.

And still nothing from the developers...
