New beta patch is dx10 only?! Read if you can't get COD to start after updating.

[HorrorRoach]

This is horrible. I have direct x 11 on my win7 system.. Microsoft won't let you downgrade to dx10!!! I've been trying every trick in the book to get COD to run... Cache clearning/verifying etc. Please update the Beta thread with the links to the update and make it clear it won't run if you have dx11.

Does anyone think there's a way to somehow manually remove dx11 files and install dx10?

No the patch is fine for DX11, if you have DX11 hardware you can run anything, it's only people with DX9 that can't use it, your problem must be something other than a DX11 issue.

There's no need to worry, the fact about being DX10 only affects Win XP users or people with cards that do not have DX10+ capabilities. Windows Vista/7 will run all DX11/10/9 applications, as long as you have compatible hardware of course.

Edit: I missed that you are having issues getting COD to run, are you getting an error popup? Is it just not opening and nothing happens?

[HorrorRoach]

it just won't open. I reinstalled steam and COD... opened fine. extracted patch to main COD directory... Now it won't launch when i click play.

ugh, this sucks so bad. I tried everything i can think of (cache stuff, nivida settings, turned hyperthreading back on). I was hoping i could play the new patch all day sunday... unfortunately sunday is nearing it's end

Hmm... The first thing I would try is to make a backup of your "1C SoftClub" folder in your Documents folder, and then turn off the steam cloud (right click on IL-2 in your Steam library -> Properties -> Updates -> uncheck Enable Steam Cloud) just for troubleshooting purposes. Then delete your conf.ini (or the whole 1C SoftClub folder if you would prefer to have everything 'fresh' just to try to get the game running, just absolutely make sure you have your backup somewhere safe!) inside your 1C SoftClub folder. Also, when you copied over the patch files did you make sure that everything got properly overwritten?

[HorrorRoach]

Yup, i extracted the patch to the root directory. tried the 1c softclub thing, didnt work. I noticed that after i apply the patch, verify the cache integrity, it'll say 31 files are junk and redownloads them. obviously doesnt help to open the game though.

But if you're verifying the cache AFTER installing the patch, Steam will be overwriting the patch files with the current release version won't it?

must be something you did wrong than, works fine for me and im win7 ult 64bit
u sure you installed the patch correctly? if you don't get a red box on start up it means you did something wrong. did you perhaps put the two folders in your 1C folder in your documents instead of in the steamapps folder under your steam folder in the program files? its got nothing to do with DX if your running 11 which everyone is unless your using XP which your not obviously. than DX isnt your issue, perhaps if you installed the patch right are you using any beta drivers for your graphics card that might be causing an issue? I rememberd I had to uninstall the 310.xx graphics drivers for my GTX460, despite working in CoD it kept on freezing up my Shogun 2 fall of the samurai.
so idk if you any of these are your issue or not. but my advice if it still doesn't continue to work, is to just re-install the game, get the patch, and extract it to the right folders, delete your cache and start the game and it should work fine, if you see a Red square at start up it means you did it right.

HorrorRoach....what graphics card do you have?
