Hi guys,

I'm posting a potential fix partly for my own benefit.

I seem to encounter an issue every year where CoC won't start. When I start the .exe, the splash screen appears, the game starts with a black screen and then crashes immediately.

An easy way to fix this is to grab the user.ltx file generated from CoP (or potentially other stalker games) and put this in the CoC directory.

Start the CoC and see if it works again.

If it doesn't work, go into the user.ltx file and change the game resolution from say 1024x762, to 1920x1080 (or your current res). Also try setting fullscreen to off.

This works for me, but if anyone finds any other fixes, feel free to document them here.
