BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - Bug thread

[TheGiantTribble]

Good evening to all.

Bought CloD about a week ago through steam, worked fine although I had to turn things down, but in fairness it was still pretty. (So long as I kept below 7 or 8 planes everything run ok)
Over the last couple of days however I have try'd more times than I care to count to install the 1.08 patch.

Everything works fine till the loading screen (both single player and multiplayer)
I get the picture and the percentage loading bar and just as it gets to 100%
CRASH
the game locks up and I get a little 'launcher.exe' error message (the launcher is still showing in the task manager)
i validate the files through steam and back to good old 1.05 and runs fine again
Specs Xp sp3, 2.33Ghz Core Duo, GTX 560 1GB

Any ideas as I really want to play on line and almost all the servers are 1.08

Thanks in advance
