****load of launcher.exe ctds

You might want to get rid of the four X's, you can get banned for that...

If you are running WinXP or less than 4GB RAM this is the reason. Get Win7-64 and more RAM.

Otherwise reinstall all programs from redist directory in Steam/CoD

If you have 4gb RAM this may not be enough if you run anything in background. Use Gamebooster or similar free software to unload all unnecessary processes. Recent patch changed something in memory management and 4gb RAM may not be enough unless you keep windows very slim.

Try reducing texture quality and a guide(5) in my sig if nothing helps.

Er, more info on this? Has this been confirmed anywhere? I run 4 gig, and rarely get launcher failures - but just recently I've had about 3 or 4, always the first time I load the game.

BigRepa told me all Repka servers started to use more memory after the recent official patch - this confirms that memory management is changed in the patch (but servers do not need more than 4gb).

This guy reported that with 4gb RAM he had only 200-300mb of "not allocated" memory remaining and microstutters. Adding another 4gb fixed microstutters and the system now shows 4.3gb RAM used in total. http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthrea...4&daysprune=30 (use Google translate)
BTW it is another proof you can not run CloD on x32 without stutters or crushes.

Install Gamebooster or similar free software and unload all processes from memory if you have 4gb like I do. If I forget to start Gamebooster I have CTD when switching objects in external views couple of dozen times on Repka2 or 3.

Great. That might explain the new CTDs and return of stutters then. Sometimes I just.. this game is... there are just no words.

I think it is too early to make this conclusion. These are just WIP changes. It can become worse or much better in the next patch. Give them another 6 to 18 months before making conclusions. There are many other things to enjoy in the meanwhile.

Your advise could cost him hundreds of £ or $ and might not make any difference, also the specs say:

• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows® 7 / Vista SP2 / Windows XP SP3
• PROCESSOR: Pentium® Dual-Core 2.0GHz or Athlon™ X2 3800+
• (Intel Core i5 2.66GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 2.6GHz recommended)
• RAM: 2GB (4GB recommended)
• VIDEO CARDirectX® 9.0c compliant, 512Mb Video Card (1GB DirectX® 10 recommended) – See supported List*
• DIRECT X®: DirectX® 9.0c or DirectX® 10 (included on disc)
• SOUND CARD: DirectX 9.0c compatible
• HARD DISK: 10GB
• PERIPHERALS: Mouse, keyboard (joystick with throttle and rudder control recommended)
• MULTIPLAY: Broadband connection with 128 kbps upstream or faster
• *SUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS AT TIME OF RELEASE:
• ATI® 4850/4870/5830/5850/5770/5870/6870/6950/6970
• NVidia®: 8800/9800/250/260/275/285/460/465/470/480

I think maybe its problems with the games code for running a dedicated server, which shouldnt load out your system at all.
I'm sure they'll sort it out sooner or later because they will have to if they want to live up to the specs they have listed for running the game.

and there's allso the fact that I don't have stutter problems. It's just the launcher.exe giving the ghost

If one reads just a little bit in the forii, one knows that min. specs have a very loose connection to reality, not only in CoD!

yep exactly my point mate
That should not be the case surely the real spec's should corrected so people dont buy a game they cant use? Or the forum will be full of posts where people can get stuff to work.
