Yet another problem, help on this please ?

[geoffw]

OK

Wasted another hour or two, uninstalling my GTX275 driver, running a driver cleaner and reinstalling 270.51 again, again it made zero difference.

After further experimenting I have discovered I can fix the green square texture problem by turning off the forest render completely. (I had it set to very low previously).

Having said that the game is still completely unplayable on a 2Gig WinXP system. In the hour or so I have been messing with this, I have got

1) Loading the london quick mission with 1 plane, still locks up on load screen
2) I had 1 instance of a crash that rebooted PC
3) 2 instances where I seemed to be flying OK at the start, but screen froze and locked permanently after 1 minute or less
4) shell casings from guns were rendering with huge black square around them (this one fixed itself after a reboot)
5) Changing some graphics settings says it needs to restart game. This then proceeds to crash, and you have to restart manually

those were just the ones I can remember, sighhhhhh

I need to take a break from this game its not good for my blood pressure

If you have a WinXP 2Gig machine, do yourself a favour and do not buy this game, you will regret it.

wow i feel for you m8, one of my squad mates is running xp also and is having similar problems. He has Xp and a 9800gt card , while my other squad memeber is running windows 7 and a geforce9600gt and is having little to no problems. ( amd phenom II be 3.4 ghz might help though)
This is obviuosly a very poorly finnished game a should never have been released as of yet to the paying public. BUT i think in a couple of months this WILL be an excellent predessor to il2 1946

The game in DX9 is not optimized, the hardware acceleration is not full.

Im in W7, DX10, but I did forced DX9 through the conf.ini to see how is.

The performance is terrible in DX9, the game works better in DX10 than in DX9 in my system.

If you can maybe you should try install Windows 7 to put that GTX275 under DX10.

Yep! What he said. I'm stuck with XP too for the moment. Not going to go out and buy windows 7 anytime soon.

You mean successor, not predecessor.

[MD_Titus]

well, it is set in 1940

Windows 7 itself is an enormous improvement over XP, well worth the upgrade.

I'm hearing this a lot... Is it just the shift to dx10 or it being 64bit (and using the full 4gig ram commonly installed) that causes improvement?
