Recent update on steam does not run .

[Pike]

Dear All,
The recent automatic update on steam does not run on my machine. I must point out that I am using the XP64 OS and DX9. What happens is I hit fly and the mission gets to the end of the loading sequence, then it says the launcher has a problem and needs to close. I click on OK and it goes to desktop. Could you please give me some advice on what I need to do.
regards,
Pike.

AFAIK it is not XP friendly. I do not know if anyone runs latest patch on XP. Win7x64 is the way to go.

Pike it didn't run on my machine either automatically. I had to click "verify game install", then it asks me to update the file system to a newer version and after I did that Steam started to download the update automatically.

[Pike]

No, that is not what I mean...........it updated and finished. Then I started the game up hit fly, it loaded, got to the end and said that the launcher had a problem. I hit OK and it CDT'd

Have yo tried to go online, what mission type are you trying to run, how much ram memory do you have?

[Pike]

No I have not tried to go online........I have tried quick missions only. I have reinstalled the previous patch and the game works again. (v 15866). I have 4 Gig of RAM and the game runs perfectly well now, but if it updates it will not work again!

Try deleting 1c Softclub folder under Documents and reinstall everything from /redist/ folder. If it does not help it is probably XP issue.

What is and where is the Redist folder?

Do I reinstall the latest patch that does not work first or do I try to do it with v15866?
