For versions of the il2fb.exe files that support mods, the file includes a wrapper.dll file. If any non-standard executable files are detected in the root folder of the game, the game will not start. Mods are supported by the generally accepted way of reading the content of the "MODS" subfolder. The mods themselves must be compatible and adapted to version 4.14 of the patch. The only limitation when using versions of il2fb.exe files with mods support is that when connecting in a network game to a dedicated server (Dedicated Server) the host and client versions must be identical.

Thanks for the hint. I did not care about this EXE subfolder since my 4.13.4 has never been modded. But I tried anyway all il2fb.exe files in Client_MODS and Client_RU. They don't start. No idea what does that mean for me...

Try this,copy what worked and put in a folder outside root directory then select 512 from exe folder and paste it over current exe. Send the new one to desktop as short cut exit out and try it out.

Thank you for your advise.
512 exe works fine to start the game offline. But it does not help in connecting to the servers. Same error message.

I'll probably make separate clean instal from Platinum DVD plus all subsequent updates and see what happens.
Or not to waste time and just wait for 4.14.1... Who knows what kind of new "surprises" new version will bring.

[stugumby]

Did the server you were trying to join use the exact same exe as you? That is mentioned in the read me as well.

I have no idea. Actually, I tried all that are mentioned as 4.14 here:

When I have time, I'll try another clean and separate 4.14. install. We will see.

Well Dimlee, if you make it onto the AleXserver, say hello. It's pretty busy around 12:00 noon here in +5GMT. Usually 20 players, some times many more.

stugumby-

tested in 4.14 and 4.13.4

- the R5 does not change drums in either version.
- the U2-VS stops to change drums in both versions.
