Issues unresolved

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[3] and making sure first video- and audio device has been selected if they appear multiple times.[4] For some users nothing works and resolution selection isn't available.[5] Manually adding setting to registery doesn't work as launcher uses checksum and resets settings with every launch.
