4.11: Some Missions Locking-Up

I took my Missions folder, which has grown quite large after 12 years of missions (254MB) and replaced it with a 'clean' Missions folder from 4.12. That one is only 142MB. As soon as I did that, I could open any Solomons map in the FMB.

I'm not sure why that was an issue, but I tried it on a hunch and it worked...for now anyway. It's an easy workaround for when when I need it. I even tried adding back my more important missions and it's still working (at 203MB now).

Possibly it's some kind of memory issue. As I stated earlier, I don't have this problem with HSFX 6 and for one thing, I know they have made some core changes to IL-2. For instance, the HSFX il2fb.exe is only 156kb, while the stock 4.12 is 4.33MB.

In any event, I think I have it under control for now so we'll see what happens.

I don't see that as being an issue unless you have other problems as mines nearly a 1 gig in size.


The only people I know online who have problems with the Solomons map, joining a CooP,
were those who had messed up installations or problematic PC's and that's with HSFX 6


If there were any memory leaks there would be more reports of problems with the map IMHO, unless you meant on your PC.

I wonder if some investigation into performance of your system when it locks up to find the root cause of the problem,
it's strange the HSFX v Stock comparison though as it makes no sense removing a few mission files allows the map to open !!


Good luck.
