It sounds like your issue is unrelated. I'd suggest opening a new thread so it gets attention as a separate bug. Though if your symptoms are otherwise identical, I wonder if another program might be affecting the CO launcher the same way.

For those still having this problem, I've found a fix that doesn't require us to shut down DisplayFusion in order to launch CO. - Open Display Fusion Settings. - Click on the Compatibility tab. - Click Add. - Click Select Application, then browse for the CO launcher (for Steams users, it's Program…
Well, that explains it. I do use DisplayFusion, and sure enough, disabling it has allowed me to get past the launcher and start patching again. Thanks, Cyberdive.

It doesn't seem like Steam is the issue. I've completely uninstalled CO from Steam, and reinstalled it from a fresh download directly from the CO site (no Steam involved). I'm still having the same problem. The only difference is that the crash report box doesn't vanish immediately. But I still can't get into the game.
I am having the exact same issue. Trying to run through Steam, my account name field is blank to start with, and the moment I click "login" the launcher crashes. A CrypticError box appears, then vanishes almost immediately. Rinse, repeat.
