So I was experiencing the bug yesterday which caused the game to crash. It worked last night after a full reinstall, however after the patch today I'm having the very same problem again.

I log into the launcher, I hit play, it starts the game - then there is a black screen for maybe 15-30 seconds, and then poof! It crashes. I don't want to do another full reinstall. I was hoping maybe somebody had a fix?

The game will start without crashing if I launch it directly from EliteDangerous32.exe, but then I get a login failure due to not using the launcher.

Have you downloaded the latest launcher from the Elite Dangerous website? If not, try this - it only takes a minute. Also try port forwarding on your router (19364 for ED). If neither of these work then perhaps try posting back or creating a support ticket.

Yeah, I tried both. The full reinstall fixed it last time but no luck otherwise. I have not had any luck with FD support; They don't even respond half the time when I send in tickets.

Right.

There is nothing of particular interest in the Windows Registry, although here is the most significant key location if you want to take a look:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Frontier Developments

However I suggest you try tampering with the various config files in the following locations as there are a great deal of settings relating to the launcher, start-up and pretty much everything else, and they may have not been updated properly since you last reinstalled:

C:\Users\[Your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\
C:\Users\[Your user name]\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\
C:\Users\[Your user name]\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\
[Install location]\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1003
