Newbies Having Troubles

[OverDhill]

Well there are some newbies on the IL-2 Facebook page that are having some issues with Win7. I made some suggestions and also suggested they join the forums here since some of you are pretty good with solving issues.

 

Maybe get some new members out of it as well.

 

 

I don't remember having to run IL-2 in a compatibility mode. Did one of the patches fix this along the way (some of these newbies have not patched the game even after I suggested it).

[FoolTrottel]

 

No need for Compatibility mode I think... Can't remember either...

[B16Enk]

Don't install it under Program Files, create a dir under C:\ for it?

[OverDhill]

He says it under C:\Games

 

He said he installed it on his laptop (win7) and it runs but slow. Not sure what to tell him next.

 

He posed this video

[FoolTrottel]

Me thinks some manual adjustments to conf.ini are in order there... send 'm over here!

[OverDhill]

I suggested it. He is from Germany so maybe some language barriers. I am thinking it might be a Radeon driver issue. But I will once again send him over

[gec]

should be really straight forward. no special adjustments. i did not have problems installing under Program Files or somewhere else.

[OverDhill]

He said he had patched it with the megapatch and did the same for his win7 laptop so its either missing some OS files or its a driver issue. Mentioned once again to come here so maybe he will

[Jabo]

If he joins he could use checkmods!

[OverDhill]

Well I once again put out an advertisement for DangerDogz. Hopefully some of them will join up.

[Painless]

Thanks for the publicity ODH ; )

Painless.

[OverDhill]

pHiLiPp_DE has joined so please try and help him. Seems like a nice guy.

[Perfesser]

I have my install in IL2 folder in C: drive. No issues.

[pHiLiPp_DE]

I arrived  

[FoolTrottel]

Welcome!

 

Please tell us what screen resolution you are using, and post the contents of the file named 'conf.ini' in here.

(open it in notepad, select all text, copy it, paste it in a post in here..)

[pHiLiPp_DE]

it's very long so i hope it doesn't blow the comment-section. i just ran it in window mode 640x480 and fullscreen with 1280x960 but both don't work

i started it in fullscreen 1280x960 again, now the screen changed the resolution for a few seconds and then it switched back to normal. i think the exe started but then crashed again :/ jabo said 'checkmods', tell me more

it works on my laptop which has win7 too but i can't play it there because of the low performance :/

[FoolTrottel]

First, run IL2set again, and set it to 'OpenGL' mode, instead of DirectX (0:13 in your video, that screen).

 

Next, edit conf.ini with Notepad, and set the top stuff to like below.

Now the widht and height are a guess, enter the values you run windows at.

The IL2Set has too limited options. After this edit, do not ever run IL2Set again, or it will mess it all up....

First step is to get it started ...

[pHiLiPp_DE]

okay, got that

[OverDhill]

Did this get resolved?

[FoolTrottel]

Hm, not sure what the 'got that' means... If you look at it in a positive way, then "yes" ... but...

[pHiLiPp_DE]

no i meant that i did what you said, it still does not run correctly :/

[FoolTrottel]

So, it still does not start?

 

So, you did use the mega patch?

From what version did you start when you started patching?

 

Oh well, try this: Installing HSFX 7 the easy way

 

I have given access to ChkMods, using the IP address you are using on the forums here, should work, if not, send me a PM with your correct IP address...

[OverDhill]

Well if it doesn't work after ChkMods then I would think your Windows 7 is hosed up.

[pHiLiPp_DE]

i don't know which version is on the disc but i think it's 1.08. i did use the megapatch, yes. i will try the ChkMods

[pHiLiPp_DE]
