Since it was released, I have been playing HSFX-6 pretty much non-stop. HSFX-6 is based on 4.11.1 and it is interesting to note that I have not had any lock-ups at all. I can also load all of the maps in the FMB with no problem.

This is unlike 4.11.1 stock, where I still get the previously mentioned problem of not being able to load some of the bigger maps into the FMB.

I sometimes wondered if possibly the problem might be with my computer...maybe the memory, or something like that. But since HSFX-6 is running flawlessly, I'm inclined to think the issue is with the stock version.

I'm curious as to why the problems arise in the stock game and not in HSFX-6. They are both running version 4.11.1 and in theory should be very similar. Is there something in HSFX-6 that has fixed the issues that I (and others) are having in stock 4.11.1?

Let's see what 4.12 brings to the table.

4.12 is finally out so I can post an update. I installed the 4.12 patch and there were no major problems. However, when I tried to load one of the Solomons maps from the FMB, my game froze right there, without even loading the map (see the screenshot). This is what it was doing in 4.11 so I guess the problem is still there for me.

I can play the Solomons map in the QMB with no problems and I can play/host Solomons missions with no problem, but I can't open any Solomons maps from the FMB anymore. As I stated earlier, I have no such problems in HSFX 6, which is based right off of 4.11, so that is something unusual.

Anyway, I do have something else interesting to report. After I realized the same problem was present in 4.12, I decided to try something. I re-installed a clean version of IL-2. I even downloaded 'fresh' patches From Mission4Today, just to be sure.

Everything went smoothly and I patched it up to 4.12. I opened the FMB and tried loading a Solomons map.....and it loaded! I started converting one of my missions to 4.12 and everything looked fine.

All of a sudden, after a couple of days, I again could not load any of the Solomons maps, so I could not resume editing my mission(s). It's been a few days now and I keep trying but no luck. My game freezes up every time I try and load a Solomons map. It's just interesting that it worked fine for a couple of days after a fresh intall of IL-2.

Maybe this info can be of some help to TD, who knows.
