Newbies Having Troubles


OverDhill

Recommended Posts

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).

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 :/

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....

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...

It says 'You cannot be verified as a member of the DangerDogz. If you are a member, send a PM to DD_FT mentioning this issue. Cannot find c:\Games\Il-2 1946\Users\All.ini, cannot read PilotName! Verify the path to your IL2 Installation using Tools, Options'
