Crashing at Launcher.exe

[mop]

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the DRM angle.

I verified cache again and downloaded the 1.00.14072 Beta patch, but got the same issue.

Any other idea's?

A couple of extracts from dxdiag output...

You are installing the wrong beta patch.

Once the game is up to date through Steam the next update is the Beta patch 14413 (May 4)

Go here to download the properly version :

Thanks for the tip Buchon. I have tried that patch as well. No dice.

Mop, I notice that windows is not up to date...service pack 1 hasn't been installed.

Yours -

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.110408-1633)

Mine -

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110408-1631)

Grab the service pack and install then go here and download the .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool and run it (select the .Net 4 Client option) and when it finishes it'll produce a report, scroll down to the very bottom line to see if .NET 4 is setup correctly.

Hope this helps

Shoot!!!! Uninstalling the files from the redist directory during one of my reinstallations nerfed SP1, or windows identification of it... It's already reinstalled....

Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110408-1631)

I did run the tool you recommended, just re-ran it then and everything seems fine.

Thanks for picking that up Goanna... just sent a support email and now I need to send them the updated Dxdiag.txt

[Goanna]

What happens if you go to windows update, do you get the option to install SP1?

Not since I reinstalled it I reinstalled it yesterday, immediately after I noticed it had been nerfed. I just forgot to do another dxdiag.txt.
