Do NOT use Winzip. That's your problem right there. Use Winrar or the free 7Zip utility. This will give you one folder, the "Parts" folder. Simply paste that folder over the existing one. Plus go to your 1C Softclub folder and erase the contents of the Cache folder within.

Apparently the Winzip utility itself fails to unzip some key files in the patch download.

Default unable to locate steamapps folder

Hi all,

i've been holding off posting this problem i have for a while waiting for the "official" patch. I've searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be anyone who has the same issue.
I have Clod installed from the game disk bought since it first came out not a downloaded copy. It works ok apart from the usual grumbles some people have with frame rates and glitches. I would like to try out the latest beta patch and have downloaded it ok but i can not locate my steamapps folder to replace the "part" folder. Ive done searches on all my drives and partitians for "steamapps" but nothing comes up containing the game folder. i've gone through the usual file path quoted in many posts but it isn't in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam. The only thing in this path is "steamexe" which doesn't do anything. Again the game runs fine so i realise it must be on the PC somewhere and have activated "show all hidden files and folders" with windows 7 but again nothing shows. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated as i'm out of ideas.

Cheers.

keeno

search for the full game folder name on your pc "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" (that is the exact folder name i copy/pasted, including the spaces)

i installed it on my pc on drive i: and it created the following sub-folders during the install process
/steam/steamapps/common/il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

inside that last folder are all the game elements, including the "parts" folder you need to install the patch files to

btw, can i suggest you keep a full copy of the current install folder you have, just in case you want to revert to it later if the patch doesnt suit you

I just tested. Winzip worked fine for me. Make sure you guys all have User Account Control (UAC) disabled.
