That's right: the launcher doesn't appear at all.

I have a really straigthforward firewall configuration: every outbound connection is authorized, so I don't think that' the problem.

I just found out this though: if I double click on the shortcut or directly on the exe a second time after it fails ...

Here you go, I had to post the contents of the file in chunks.

I think all of this in one message might exceed the forum capabilities, and the message about the URL in the contents is just not the right one.

Anyway, you have the DirectX diag now

There aren't any url in the file, as far as I can tell no h t t p : / /

But there are many driver paths and such...

If these are what causes the restriction, I cannot post the content of the file here without removing information that could be pertinent to the initial problem.

What should I do to ...

Sorry I can't seem to post the content of the file.

If I paste it (the contents, not the file itself) in the message and submit, I get "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs." in bold red above the form.

Thank you for your quick reply!

The forum engine won't let me post the contents of the file. ("Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs.")

Shall I send a pm ?

Hello,

The game won't display the dialog box on my PC anymore. I don't know what happened (i.e. no crash or anything) since I had been playing for several weeks before that.

I've tried to reinstall it several times (my downloaded install is 1.0.6), add patches or not, extension Blitzkrieg or not ...
