Lucas, it's a long shot but check your ...\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder to see if you've got the conf, confUser and confs.ini files in there. The reason I say this is that I deleted mine to restore the default ones and rather than verifying cache integrity I fired up the game and got the 5 second spinning circle you describe.
Cheers Goanna

Thanks for the advice, Goanna, but no dice yet.
The files were already present when I checked - clicked Play, nothing. I decided, just to make sure, to try what you did and so deleted them, followed by a cache integrity check, which said 23 files were missing. After everything was redownloaded, I tried again but the song remains the same - few seconds, nothing happens, and that's it. Again, just to make sure, I'm running (or failing to run) the Russian version, physical copy. I don't think it'd make much of a difference in the normal run of things, but this particular release wasn't the normal run of things (although for flight sim standards, it wasn't too unusual  ) so it might as well be a bug found only on this particular version.OT: The marketing done in antecipation was quite nice. I jumped into a store in a mall today, shopping for CDs (if anyone's interested, got myself a copy of Radiohead's The King of Limbs, brilliant) and, as I walk in, I see this huge clock with the Cliffs of Dover cover on it, showing 00:00:00 - I didn't get the chance to see it ticking, but it's quite nice to see that there was such antecipation for a release that's considered to be aimed at a "small niche". Sadly it wasn't released under ideal conditions, but hey, there's time to make it an all-time classic, and even the current videos and screenshots hint that it's there already.

 A bit scary too since your rig sounds a tad more fit for the job. My rig, in any case, is a stock HP p6050 (Intel quad-core 2.3MHz, Vista 32 bit, GeForce GT120, 3GB RAM).

In the evening I tryed to go fly on-line. During each 10 minutes Launcher.exe stopped work and game was dead. After 4th time Launcher.exe crashed, I went sleep. Windows 7 Home premium 64bit Intel core i5 750 2,67 GHz RAM 4 GB DDR3 NVidia GeForce 470 GTX SSAO was ON

Hi Lucas, this is a long shot but I had a similar problem to yours - drove me crazy all weekend (I'm in the U.S. and picked up the game from justflight on Friday, downloaded it from steam, all seemed well but clicking on the icon just didn't launch the game - no matter how much furious clicking I engaged in!).
Long story short, I ended up having a what seems to be a pretty rare problem with my .net framework. My computer (win7 64 pro) says I have .net 4.0 installed, but in actuality there are a few files (mscoree.dll files) that for some reason or other, never got updated - and don't get updated, even if you do a repair/reinstall of .net! Here's a link to check out- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/arc.../10110053.aspx You can use a simple download to check whether your .net is actually 4.0 from here. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/arc...3/8999004.aspx Anyhow, I know it's a long shot but I suppose you're willing to entertain one at this point, so if you the time read those blogs and check whether you "really" have .net 4.0. I tried updating/reinstalling .net 4.0 but that didn't work - I finally fixed the problem by doing a repair install of win7 from the dvd, which was a pain but in the end I'm up and flying (for a few minutes at least until I blow the engine). Good luck, figure even if this doesn't work for you it's worth it to post in case someone ends up with a similar problem - oh and one more thing, right afterward the repair install it didn't work, but then after windows update downloaded a whole mess of updates the game finally started.

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 05:59 PM.
