This is the first time I've had this problem:
The beta patch has updated the game (eg. the splash screen has the right number and the video options have been added, etc.). But every time I try to load any mission, the "Launcher.exe" crashes. Enabling "vsync" or starting it in "window'd mode" make no difference. The game refuses to load any missions and just crashes back to the desktop.
Reverting to the last official patch (14101) and the game plays normally. The previous beta (14214) also causes no problems for me. Only this latest one.
I wonder if it could be that my computer does not like the functioning "fullscreen" implementation?

(I'm now worried the next official patch will destroy my game!
)
