Launcher.exe closing after 5 seconds, no error message

[Lucas_From_Hell]

Actually GeForce GT 120, but we're on the same boat, sadly...

You and a lot of other people - enough for there to be a poll about it.

I cannot get it running on my newer PC (also Nvidea 470) but my old PC (nvidea 275) will run it - slowly!

In your particular case, does it start and then a black screen shows or is it also nothing followed by an amusing amount of nothing?

This happened to me when one of my files was corrupted. Have any of you guys tried getting steam to validate your files? In steam library, right-click CoD, Properties, Local Files tab, Verify Integrity of Game Cache. If it finds a corrupted file it will redownload it.

So far I have:

Reinstalled CoD.

Verified file integrity thingie.

Checked I am up to date with patch (I am)

Reinstalled DX

Reinstalled Net.4

Rolled back to 260 nvidea drivers from most recent set

Turned off Avast firewall.

No dice. I get the a/c and gunsight logo then after 5 seconds the launcher error window. If I close the error window (but not exit the program) I get the Ubi movie and then the epi warning, and I can get to the menus, but any attempt to alter settings will not work. If I try to load a mission I am returned to the previous menu page and the error message reappears. Closing this exits CoD altogether.

I have pet techno-geek who is going to come and check out my setup but he is not available until 13th April: if he comes up with a solution I will be sure to share!

All a bit of a shame as I am enjoying my training flights on my other inferior PC.

Specs: Win 7 64bit, Intel Core i7 CPU 860@ 2.8GHz, 8.00GB RAM, nvidea GTX 470

Tried my luck with integrity too (ages ago and again now), no joy. Trying going back to 260 drivers right now (only step I hadn't properly tried, if to think of it), will tell how it goes (if it goes at all, that is).

...nope, nothing.

[unreasonable]

The beta 270 drivers do not do the trick either.

had the same issue and this is how i fixed it. delete the il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder in 1C SoftClub folder located in documents. I'm not sure that this will help all of you but for me it did.

I tried everything posted everywhere. However, the problem would always occur during the Quick Mission: "British Attack - Column", so I focused on fixing that mission with hopes that the solution will transfer to other missions.

My initial solution: Reduce the number of planes in each flight by one. That is, two Spitfires instead of three; three BF-109's instead of four, etc., for each flight in the briefing screen.

I was very surprised that this reduction works consistently since I never had problems with larger numbers of planes in some other missions, such as the air battle over the channel. I assume it is a combination of planes and land features that causes the Launcher to fail.

After such a long time trying to get this mission to work, I felt obliged to share my preliminary solution with the forum. Now, it may very well be that a reduction in each flight is unnecessary, or that an increase in the number of planes may also work. In fact, I suspect that this is some sort of mathematical issue such as division by zero when the number of surviving planes reaches a certain point. I don't claim to know precisely why, but the reduction mentioned at the start of this post works for me.

Here is a rundown of my settings and system:

In-Game Video is set for all features at their highest values except for Anti-Epilepsy Filter, SSAO and VSYNC which are unchecked. Resolution: 2560x1600, 60HZ which is native to my Dell U3011 30" monitor.

Realism is all checked except for Head Shake, Engine Temperature Effects, Clouds and No Map Icons.

Video Hardware is 2 x AMD HD6970's in CrossfireX, managed by the new "RadeonPro" software, available free from AMD, with all the settings set for maximum quality, not max performance so as to tax it to its limits. Clock speeds are overclocked as high as they will go using MSI Afterburner.

Fan Cooling is managed by MSI Afterburner with my stock fans running so that degrees C = percent maximum speed. (i.e., 50% @ 50C, 80% @ 80C, etc. The fans are noisy at that level, but not as noisy as the inside of a real cockpit. I have convinced myself that it adds to the realism Max temps are 70C. Frame rates run from 50 fps upwards.

My System Hardware:
ASUS Rampage III Formula in a Coolermaster HAF 932 case running Windows 7 Professional, 64 Bit.
Intel I7-950 overclocked to 4.2GHz max with Hyperthreading OFF due to heat.
12 GB Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 Memory, Corsair 750TX Power Supply, SanDisk 240 GB SSD (Loads CLoD really fast!), Coolermaster Hyper 212 processor cooler (70c Max in CLoD), big hard drive, 2 optical drives, etc.

Bells & Whistles: Saitek X-52, Saitek Pro Pedals, TrackIR 5 Headtracker, Game Commander 2 Voice control, (Oldie but Goodie!), Original Buttkicker Gamer (Works good, lasts a long time!) It all works and NO overheats!
