My time is limited and it really takes patience to start all over again, risking a launcher crash again in the next 30 minutes..

They were making nothing but smarty-pants comments with the potential to inflame or drag the thread off-topic and gain infraction points too.

Oh wait, that's not them, it's you

On a serious note guys, control your temper and if you can't, take a walk out in the sun and calm down. The are new rules about off-topic posting coming soon so that the update threads are about the update content and don't devolve into 40 pages of users fighting out anymore. That means a change of posting habits for some, with the aim of making the threads useful for all of us.

Just a friendly heads-up here, all i'm saying is get in the habit of exercising some self-control over what you post, because under the upcoming rules some will need it to avoid getting automatic bans within the first 10 pages of every Friday update post.

And I thought I was getting a bum deal when I could fly for 30mins only to L-E failure when the enemy AC was in a killing position. Take heart my friend, I and the other 11 members of my squadron have the same problem. One of my American friends spent $600 dollars on a new GPU and he still had L-e problems, Doh!!! Needless to say my squad members are mightily disappointed with CloD, and believe me, some of them have eye wateringly expensive rigs and as a consequence, no longer fly in CloD. I just hope the new update gets them all back into the fold.

As the saying goes:

Let's hope the new update is not a 'miss'!!!

So BS keep pushing...

Hi Slipball
You would think Vista 32 bit was the problem that gives Launcher exe problems, but I don't think that is the whole problem. Most of my JS109 squadron buddies have 64 bit "Cray" computers and they still have L-e problems. In-fact, none of them fly CloD because of the problems. Hell, one of them spent $600 upgrading to 64 bit OS and 2Gb GPU and guess what, he still had L-e problems!!! So whilst 32 Bitters may have more of a problem than most, others, regardless of PC spec have their own "gremlins"... I do hope the new update gets the sim working to the declared spec and that we can use the game as intended.

Keep watching your six

As I said on another part of this internets, holding features like drivable tanks and bofors guns et al getting basics together would probably earn more new customers from idle squad members all over the globe compared to what many new curious tank-simmers will invest in a flight-sim to drive a tank.

But I've been wrong before.

Basically, not really of valuable information for you, but my experience: I upgraded my system from Vista 32bit with 4GB ram to Vista 64bit with 8GB ram - except for a complete new Windows installation no other changes done.
For me this nearly solved the problem: Before, I most of the times even had launcher crashes before jumping into the plane (in mp). Now, if I always restart COD after every battle, I can count the amount of crashes on one hand - extremely seldom.

In my case, it for sure was a combination of the "upgrade" to 64bit and the additional memory. This sufficiently delays the launcher crash resulting from the memory leak.

But it is not the right time now to make system upgrades - I would wait for the next (beta-)patch.

You can't be serious, surely? Ban those who make off-topic posts? At this rate there'll barely be a forum left, and if there is it'll only be populated with kool-aid drinking fanboys.

This place, the 1c Company and Maddox Games disappoint me more every time I visit. Just a 'friendly heads up' here, but this forum is already half-dead thanks to the excessive moderation - if you make the posting rules any more draconian, I'd be surprised if anyone comes back here at all.

The problem is there is nothing happening with the sim until the various problems get fixed, so nothing to talk about.
