I unzipped it to my Downloads folder, Opened up Steam>Steam Apps>Common>IL 2 Cliff of Dover and placed the 2 files in there.

@BillW71,

There are a number of ways to get the fix working, you are using one of the (three) methods.

You can put the two (.exe and .dll) files into your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder, just make sure they are in the same directory as "Launcher.exe".

After placing the files in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder you must execute (run) "CloDer.exe" (DO NOT run the game from Steam, this will not work [it bypasses the fix]).


Another Method (as broken pixel was trying to explain).

Extract the archive ("CloDer_v0.0.0.1.7z" or "CloDer_v0.0.0.1.zip") to a new folder on your PC (I'll use "C:\Downloads\CloDer\").

Go to the folder where you extracted the files (in my case "C:\Downloads\CloDer\"), locate and run the file "CloDer.exe".

Unlike the first scenario (above), "CloDer.exe" won't find "Launcher.exe" (therefore can't run it automatically) and will ask you to locate it (the "Open File" dialog will pop up), simply use the dialog to locate "Launcher.exe" in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.

*Note: Steam must be running (in the background) in order to play the game.

Hope you get it running.
