Just downloaded 4.11 (I know...been a while) and also hotfix. CTD after launching :(
 

How do I explain what happens?

I launched the software and at about 60% it CTD. I tried again, this time I got to the Menu screen...then CTD :(

As this seems to be an intermittent problem...how can I bug report it?

Cheers, MP

Look for the latest error log.

hs_err_pidxxxx.log

Attach it here.

Also
The 60% CTD is usually associated with a certain mod pack !!!

Yes. It doesn't sound like a clean install. Unless it's an incomplete download?

Thanks for the reply chaps.

I am attaching a screenshot to show you the folder contents, which have no mods and no hs_err_pidxxxx.log

Any ideas?

Cheers, MP

Just did a complete clean install, all the way from IL2:1946 original CD. Patch 4.08m, 4.09m, 4.09m skinpack, 4.10m, 4.101m and then 4.11 and 4.11 hotfix. Game CTD while launching :(

Any way I can generate an error log?

Open up the Conf.ini file with notepad. Go to the [Console] section of the Conf.ini file.



[Console]
HISTORY=1024
HISTORYCMD=1024
LOAD=
SAVE=
LOG=1
LOGTIME=0
LOGFILE=logfile.log
LOGKEEP=1


This file will appear in IL2 root directory

Do this whenever the game is crashing.
Do not forget to delete this file when you get it working.

Did you test and make sure it's working after each step?

+1

this is an annoying but useful check to do... :)

Ahhhhh, no didn't try after every step :(

Okay, I'm uninstalling and then going to go through it a piece at a time.

Do I need the 4.101 step after 4.10 if I upgrade to 4.11 after 4.10 ?

Cheers, MP

(Also do I need the Hotfix or only if it crashes)

Mate id do it all in sequence but make sure you launch after every Patch and check it..one of those patches is messing with your install

It appears to be the install from DVD itself. It runs, gets to the menu screen...then just quits :(
