As long as 45mins, count yourself as lucky. If I last more than 15mins in game before Launcher exe crashes me I feel lucky !!!!!!

So much of that could be your system...certainly the game has issues as well, but not all have launcher crash, and so, an assessment of your system should be looked at first.

All I will say is that my system spec (on paper), is better than your rig. I have no problems with: World of Tanks, Wings of Prey and FSX all at medium settings or better.
Using Unigine Heaven Benchmark 2.1, I get 52 fps in DirectX 11. So I don't see much wrong there. The only thing I have on my system inferior to your own is Vista 32 Bit, an OS that the experts tell me is the new 'Millennium'. Incidentally, I can recommend using Unigine Heaven Benchmark that is available as a "freebie" from Nvidia Downloads under the "games" tab. It's great to use, as you can monitor your video graphics after adjustments and the benchmark takes 260 secs to run. Ah well, back to WoT, WoP and FSX and pray the CloD update comes soon and more importantly, works!!!

That could be your problem...in my system I have another hard drive loaded with Win XP 32bit, Steam and the game...the game does crash using that system.

CloD probably is one of the few software programs which is able to behave alike in almost any computer, any OS and any configuration.

Hopefully they are going to fix it soon with the patch.

Salutes Majo.

Hi Slipball
You would think Vista 32 bit was the problem that gives Launcher exe problems, but I don't think that is the whole problem. Most of my JS109 squadron buddies have 64 bit "Cray" computers and they still have L-e problems. In-fact, none of them fly CloD because of the problems. Hell, one of them spent $600 upgrading to 64 bit OS and 2Gb GPU and guess what, he still had L-e problems!!! So whilst 32 Bitters may have more of a problem than most, others, regardless of PC spec have their own "gremlins"... I do hope the new update gets the sim working to the declared spec and that we can use the game as intended.

Keep watching your six

Basically, not really of valuable information for you, but my experience: I upgraded my system from Vista 32bit with 4GB ram to Vista 64bit with 8GB ram - except for a complete new Windows installation no other changes done.
For me this nearly solved the problem: Before, I most of the times even had launcher crashes before jumping into the plane (in mp). Now, if I always restart COD after every battle, I can count the amount of crashes on one hand - extremely seldom.

In my case, it for sure was a combination of the "upgrade" to 64bit and the additional memory. This sufficiently delays the launcher crash resulting from the memory leak.

But it is not the right time now to make system upgrades - I would wait for the next (beta-)patch.

It just gods to show, Luthiers heart really is in arcade, not in simulation. I can't believe how many of you are lapping this stuff up. Five years from now when you are wondering what the hell went wrong, just remember - you were cheering for it.

Why does it become "arcade" when they add human control of tanks and AA guns?

They believe that the twenty guys working on the air aspects of the sim have stopped work to watch a guy or two working on the ground aspects.
