Launcher Crash

[Toaster]

Tried the different renderer options and still doesn the same :/ oh well

[Fredfetish]

Haven't been able to start the game once. I'm trying to run the Steam version under windows 7 with a nVidia 560 ti with 270.51 drivers. The launcher stops working after a couple of seconds with the problem signature below. I've done the crc check on the steam files/re-installed, installed all the redist folder using admin, yet nothing seems to help.

My computer isn't great, but easily meets the minimum requirements. My plan was to buy CLoD, then see what improvements I need to make from there.

I downloaded from Steam, and when I tried to play, got that horrible Nvida driver crashed and restarted message. I could load the game, there was a blank screen for the Pilot and planes, and when I tried to play, got to 100% loading, but the graphics never moved from the splash screen. I could hear comms and aircraft sound, but the game didn't move off the splash screen.

I read the forums, and manually edited the config to direct x 9 - I can now see the pilots and planes in the menu, but when I go to play, it gets to less than 5% loading, and I get the launcher crash.

I have tried all the fixes mentioned so far, short of uninstalling the game and steam, and trying to download it again, and nothing works.

This seems to be affecting a lot of people, yet nothing official on how to fix it.

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!
