Well, you "missing" some patchs that remove this feature (probable some script), in Quick Mission and Campaingns...

To "simulate" cold start now you have to create or edit some missiom in FMB.

Make sure you launch the game by selecting the new exe file "CloDer".

What he wants to say is that his menu changed from German to English with this fix. Now he wants to ask you if he can change this back...?

Sadface.

Installing CloD has a separate issue - this patch is a 'loader' to provide a work-around of a security issue when trying to run the game in Win8. I didn't re-install CloD when moving to Win8 as it is on a second drive. Try mazex's fix here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=30096&page=7

Did that. Get the spinning circle for a second and then nothing. Can it be because I have Steam on another partition and not in program(x86)?

Tried that as well, Steam now skips the "install part" but get the same error as above.

Cheers

EDIT: And I've installed the DirX from the redist folder.

No, but the 'CloDer.exe' and 'CloDer.dll' must be in the same folder as the 'Launcher.exe' (My Steam folder is in D:\Games\). You then click on 'CloDer.exe' to launch the game, but obviously Steam has to be running else you will get that error message

Sounds like you've solved the installation error, and you do need to run the DirectX install, but not doing so shouldn't prevent the game from running.

@theleif:

Please ensure that you are running "CloDer.exe" and NOT "Launcher.exe" (you shouldn't have to run the application as Administrator, it is not required).

Please ensure that "CloDer.exe" and "CloDer.dll" are both in the same directory (for ease of use, place both files in your Cliffs of Dover directory [same folder as "Launcher.exe"]).

Your Steam installation shouldn't (I'm guessing here) install any of the VC++ 2012 or .NET 4.0 run-times, the ones that come with Windows 8 are newer than the ones required by the game (I will however double check this, if it is the case I will implement a workaround into "CloDer").

Unfortunately, I can't help you any further at the moment but I'll have an in-depth look at your problem a littler later (when I get home).

To aid myself (and the community) in solving your problem please post some additional information:
  1. Windows 8 (Standard or Pro)?
  2. Build number?
  3. System Type (x86 or x64)?
  4. Graphics Driver version?
  5. If possible, please provide some information about your computer hardware.
  6. Have you successfully run Cliffs of Dover on a previous version of Windows (with the same hardware)?

Regards,
sYk0.
