Cannot play tracks

[palker4]

So i go to extras>tracks>select and after pressing select noting happens game just freezes for a second and thats it. Any ideas?
Also i should point out that it was working in initial release without patches or mods.

I get exactly the same problem. No tracks are listed. The dialog which is supposed to appear to let you choose tracks does not appear.

I have worked out what was stopping the track selection dialog from displaying.

The applications which hosts IL2 COD - Launcher.exe was not being run with administrative privileges on my PC, and this was preventing the dialog from displaying.

After right clicking on Launcher.exe, selecting the properties menu option, and then switching to the compatibility tab and checking the 'Run This Program as an Administrator' option, the Track Selection dialog displays and you are able to select and play tracks.

The tracks re very impressive :grin:

Same problem here. I know they are there in Steam/CoD folder but nothing happens.

Odd, I get that problem already when pressing "start recording". Menu just freezes and nothing happens anymore.

Further update
---------------

- In Addition to Launcher.exe being run with admin privileges on my PC it also seems that the Track Selection dialog will only display if I am running COD in windowed mode.

If I run COD in full screen mode the track selection dialog will not appear, even if launcher.exe is running with admin privileges.

So there are two separate conditions which need to be met for the Track Selection dialog to display, you must be running launcher.exe as an administrator AND you must be running COD in windowed mode.

Please accept my apologies, my initial posts were both wrong.

I have got the track select dialog to display, but the things which I thought had fixed it had not.

The track selection diaog WILL display in full screen mode.
The Launcher.exe does not need to be run in administrator mode.

What I have found is that the track selection dialog will not display if I launch COD via the shortcut on my desktop which was created by steam. This is a shortcut to the following URL 'steam://rungameid/63950'.

However If I navigate to the COD folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover) and launch cod by clicking on the Launcher application directly , then the track Selection Dialog does display.

I have now replaced the steam shortcut on my desktop by a shortcut directly to launcher.exe.

I know this is an old thread but I have been living without the ability to play tracks for a while now and am wondering if there is any more info on the subject.Running the launcher directly does not solve my problem.

Basically, if I choose the option to play tracks I get the screen that says 'Play' & 'Exit' but there are no tracks listed.
Both the Steam and the ICSoftClub folders have tracks in them but the program wont list them.
I have removed any tracks I made myself from the days when it was working in case one was corrupted and causing trouble.
Attempting to record tracks just locks the program.

I don't want to reload the whole program because it has taken me ages to tweak it to get the best fps.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a memory problem, your system is not listed so I would do a reinstall to see if it then works... just make a copy of your tweaks to apply again later after your test
