Recent update on steam does not run .

[Jaeger]

Hi all;

I'm having the same problem(I'm also on XP,dx9);it started happening several months ago with the beta patches.Before the betas everything was working fine without problems.

I've downloaded the official patch from steam yesterday but the problem is still the same as the betas.I'm having an error message saying that "launcher.exe has stopped working after" %95 percent of loading..

The strange thing is that I can play the tracks without any problems with good fps but I just can't get past %95 percent of mission loading screen?every time launcher.exe crashes?

Any help?

During beta test Luthier asked to send him crash-dump files and they fixed crashes based on those files sent in. It looks like either none of you sent him your crash-dump files or the devs did not have time to fix DX9 crashes (they are behind schedule even with DX10 now). DX9 is too old, even BF3 wich has much bigger dev budget does not support it. Time to move to Win7x64 I think.
