Was all excited and worried and my worry won!
Just got the steam patch update to 1.11.xxx and as with the RC and betas versions, I get a launcher failure.
Seems same as Pupo162 here. Verifying now. Pupo, will look for any updates from you.
I get a launcher failure after mission load reaches ~90%
Ongoing issues is detailed here

This is really not fun at all!
Good luck and enjoy everyone else.
Any help or guidance would be well appreciated.
Going to take the advice and upgrade to Win7.
