I know virtually everyone seems to be having deal-breaking performance issues, but there are still some of us, who can't even start the game (at least not consistently).

I really wish I hadn't pre-ordered and had waited until all this storm had blown over with the requisite patch(es), but I wanted to support 1C. Some teething troubles are inevitable, but this release seems thoroughly porked at present.

try reset your conf file to same res as desktop, some reason i think the program code is not writing updates to the users ini files correctly and its a bug, thast causing eratic CTDs and lockups, on many peoples pcs.

Thx for the advice, Diveplane.

It is indeed odd that, when the game starts, often I can see the Win taskbar with the CloD icon flashing, prompting me to click on it to actually see the game splashscreens(s). It's as if Win is still overriding CloD as the priority program to display or something (normally games immediately go full screen when launched).

I attached my conf.ini (the one in Steamapps, not the one in the 1CSoftClub), but I can't see where my res is set (it's the same as desktop btw - 1920x1200).

Cheers,

Deep joy, and vast choirs belch forth their triumph!

I can consistently run the game, and I've just led (badly) a section of Hurris against a Schwarm of 109s, and it was super!!!

Now I see the potential.

I have no idea what changed, and I certainly didn't do anything different, so perhaps Steam has installed a patch or hotfix (there's nothing listed in the Steam update history)?

Anyway, oh that it lasts.

So, to all out there with the launcher issue, keep the faith. I don't know what the problem was, nor how I 'solved' it, but it's definitely worth it once you're there.

I'm not gloating, honestly; I'm just delighted there's hope and something worth persevering for.
