Pardon my frustration but I have not been able to fly CLoD more than 3 minutes before the launcher crashes. I have been back and forth with tech help for the last month, tried four re-installs, driver updates, cache validations and and other things, still with no success.
Am I to assume that BoM will make my CLod usable? Am I supposed to pay full retail for a new product because that is the only way I might be able to use a product that I have already paid full retail for?
Whatever is done in BoM that addresses CLoDs launcher issues should be made available as a patch for CLoD owners. If that can't happen, then CLoD owners get BoM free. I have no more reason to assume that this would work than I had that CLoD would work for me so I can hardly be expected to fork over more cash to the same folks that sold me a product that has yet to function for me. :confused

The sim is still going thru test patches for the graphic/performance rewrite, and bug fixes which seems to address most people launcher exe problems. So far we've had 3 test patches, the last two being RC 1 and RC2 "release candidates". We aren't sure when the official Steam patch will be released. You can install the latest RC2 test patch to see if it fixes your launcher exe, if you are using WinZip be sure to check "unblock" in the Winzip downloads properties before unzipping the files to your install.
