DH Launcher Won't Start

[walrus]

Hi,

Running DH 1.01 on Windows XP (albiet on a Macbook Pro), the launcher always crashes when I try to open it with a 'failed to initialise' error. The game itself runs fine when opened manually, but it's annoying not being able to select mods and options in the launcher.

I imagine it's due to missing some essential windows files somewhere due to my kooky set-up.....but anyone know a solution?

Thanks

I think it's the .NET framework that is missing, but I am not 100% sure.

Thanks, I'll try updating that and see how it goes

As a last measure you can run the game directly from Darkest Hour.exe which does not requires .NET framework. The downside of this is that you have to manually edit settings.cfg.
