reinstalling clod

[jayrc]

It worked, I deleted everything under steamapps and 1C SoftClub, I also made a copy of my controls and keymap settings just in case, unchecked steam cloud for IL-2 then for steam itself and installed the game, everything seems to be at default, all video settings and message boxes reset to original, controls all set to default. Thanks, Jay

P.S. I think I'm going to leave steam cloud unchecked, I don't see any need for it since I'm going to be using only one computer, any other reason why you think I would need it?

Unespected and complete HD failure.

I have steam cloud turned off. For some time after I first installed CoD I had some sort of corruption where I couldn't fly the Rotol Hurri or any of the single missions without a crash at 95% loading. Even numerous reinstalls did not fix it until I tried with cloud disabled!
I play on one computer, and have my settings backed up so can't really see the need to enable cloud.

Good advice...done

Second thought, I'm going to leave it checked, that way when the patch comes and I enable cloud my settings will be current, also I want to get an Solid State Drive soon, Thanks, Jay

i find it amusing hearing about all these people that reinstall and uninstall this game like crazy hoping for miracle fixes or that somehow reinstall fixes problems magically.

I'm one of those that has unistalled and re-installed CoD mainly because I had "Launcher" problems that a lot of us have been troubled by. Everything going ok so I decided to remove some nolonger required programs from my PC then I started having "Launcher not working" when trying to get CoD started. Tried to get suggestions to fix it from steam support but everything they suggested didn't work. A re-install of SP1 with W7 finally got every thing working again ok. My only assumption is that during the unistall process of the unwanted programs that some shared Dll's were removed and the re-install of SP1 fixed the missing Dll's. Supprisingly I now seem to have slightly smoother game play and a small fps increase.

I have steam cloud turned off.

Tried that too, no dice. Well I'm downloading War Thunder so Hopefully Steam refunds me.

Well, reinstalled Windows 7 and it works. Geez.
