DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 ~S~ Chaps, Sorry to bother you with a little tech problem but one of the chaps over at Joint Ops has just got a new high end computer using Windows7. He has installed IL2 1946 from the disc. When he starts the game it loads to 5% then crashes. He has re installed it several times still with the same problem . I promised to ask if any of you DDz Tech Heads had any idea where to start ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted August 11, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 UK or US based guy? I ask because 'installed from disk' would indicate he may be using a copy protected version, and 7 has not allowed the driver install. He could try using the NoDVD patch and see if that will remedy it. I have the RTM (gold) version of 7 but have to confess I have not yet tried IL2 on it yet, might be able to grab a few minutes to give it a whirl when I get home tonight. My lad has had some grief with 7 and games on his PC, but he resorted to running them in compatibility mode, which succeeded...he is ahead of me with 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfesser Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hmmm I just burned Win 7 to a disk and will install on a separate hdd in a day or two. I can't get AA3 to run with XP at all. I've read the same problem with UT3, the base game engine. I think that patch is called Ubi-fix. No idea if it will help with the CD.

T_O_A_D Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 The answer I have found so far is given to him in the thread over at JO. I jumped in earlier to give the same advice. But once I read it, I just kept quiet. Move IL2 into a folder outside of the Normal Windows structure. Then install the Mods to get the no dvd, unless he want's to only use 4.08 then. He can get it form Gamecopy world or the like. Or you can just copy your 4.08 no dvd IL2fb.exe and email it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
