Game refuses to launch after launcher

There have been many cases where game simply refuses to launch after starting game from launcher. For some users simply reselecting settings[2] and making sure first video- and audio device has been selected if they appear multiple times.[3] For some users nothing works and resolution selection isn't available.[4] Manually adding setting to registery doesn't work as launcher uses checksum and resets settings with every launch.
