Hi Vosk
Just installing the update myself are you running 64bit?
Yes. I have W7 Ultimate x64. But I already found a solution to this problem. :-) Run DXSETUP.exe from Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\redist\DirectX and it replace new "DirectX 11" :) files for original CoD DX. And all will be ok! (help for Valec too, because I cannt fly on ATAG without Valec :))
Thanks, Vosk. My PC ran the Windows update last night when I shut down, so I'll do the dxsetup before I try running Clod later today. :thumbsup:
Yesterday I got a new update for my windows 7 64 bit(Windows platform update) and after that I couldn't get into my game due to crashes. Drock got on TS shortly after and was having the same problem. After a bit I remembered the update and asked Drock if he also updated his Windows with the platform update, he did. So we both did a system restore and the problem was fixed. I was just online with 71_AH-Bader and he had the same problem. So I asked him if he downloaded the latest platform update and he said he did too. So if your having problems with crashes and you got the update just click on your start button type in system restore in the search box and restore the last update. Problem should be solved after that. Okay I guess there is a fix just read the post below I didn not see it before I wrote this post :)
Thanks for the heads-up Stormbat.
It's not caused me any problems but I've read it has for a few.
I hope there's a hotfix for it though as it adds some Directx 11-1 features according to http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Ser...urn,19135.html

Haven't had problems playing CLoD since windows update last night but sweetfx stopped working and so did fraps in CLoD. Tried reinstalling sweetfx and fraps... nothing, tried verify CLoD through steam... nothing.... saw this thread and did windows restore point and it fixed everything - cheers!
Aha! I found FRAPS no longer works, so looks like a system restore too, thanks for the info. :D
Hi guys,
I had the same problem but instead of doing a restore I just uninstalled the update through the Control Panel. Then, for good measure, I followed JTDawg's instructions in this thread.
The "redist" folder in the Steam Cliffs folder has both the .NET Framework 4 and the DXSETUP executables in it. I already have .NET Framework 4.5 so the first part cancelled itself and I followed the Control Panel route in this thread. Still worked like a treat, though. I had four "launcher" crashes after only a few minutes each join, and after the above, none for two hours.
Didn't keep me alive through every sortie, but at least I was there to try again :thumbsup:.
My FXAA has disabled.
I'm going to run the DX fix as suggested at top of this thread.
fraps updated to 3.5.99 did fix my DX10 issue with that KB2670838 M$ release...
Fraps 3.5.99 - 26th February, 2013
- Fixed counter not appearing in Aero desktop (DWM) and DX10 games after latest Windows Update
also if your running it in NVIDIA and having issues then redist folder run all the tools in there.
Mine updated, and I have zero issues. Sweet FX/the sim, all works fine. Maybe I'm lucky?
Mine keeps crashing, guess I'll have to try uninstalling or system restore:pcsux:
I tried the DXSETUP but still got a launcher crash ten minutes into play. Next uninstalled the update and had no problem after that.
which os and I.E are you running?
I have crash after MS updade. Uninstall then and check, OK.
Install MS update again, run .NET repair, DXSETUP, clear cache.
Still crash after minutes in game.
So disable FlightFX, and now work fine.
ATI HD7970, last AMD driver.

I have had problems with this update too.
Running Win7 64bit ultimate with latest IE version.
Tried the .Net & direct X refresh, no help for me. The cure was to remove the update.
But sweet and smooth now.

I'm still working through fxaa issues.
The FXAA works ok in game, but any videos I record cause problems;
1. Fraps causes crash if ClOD is loaded first
2. Fraps causes fxaa to stop working if CloD is loaded second
3. Action! does not record the fxaa, but records the vanilla; pre-fx game
I was getting launcher crash before COD would start
I read elsewhere that teamspeak is to blame - shut off the overlay and boom everything seems to work fine now
Yes it was this Windows update
iam install COD complett new..same Laucher crashs
iam install Windows 7 64 bitcomlett new...same laucher crashs
than my Mate was regist here callt me, Widows Update is the problem....a full Weekend was only for both me PC new :grrr:
but shit happens..thats the World.
Well, welcome to the forum anyway, Widukind! :D
Despite applying the fixes above, I continued to get screen freezes/launcher crashes about 20 minutes into the game. Right about as things would be getting interesting! :grrr:
I finally gave up fighting it and simply uninstalled this update -- problem solved completely. If it weren't for the forum posts here, though, I doubt I would've figured out the update problem on my own.
Weird but i could play a while with the update without crash until Storm of war mission lasst Sunday! Now launcher crashes at start and nothing seems to help no even removing the update! :grrr: Must be some other update that cause my problems! aarrrgh
S!
Got the Launcher.exe crashing too after this update came along :( Gonna try the fixes posted here if it helps. Strangely CoD is the only game getting problems with it, other games like War Thunder, EVE Online, MechWarrior Online etc. have no problemos whatsoever. Strange. Maybe CoD just is so picky :D
