Game Doesn't Run GTX 480

[nakedsquirrel]

I upgraded my graphics card from a GTS 250 to a GTX 480, and IL2 CoD will no longer run on my computer. The game crashes when I try to start it up. Does anyone with a GTX 480 have a conf.ini that they can post so that I try to use that to run the game.

Thanks

Thanx for the link but it is no longer downloadable at the link or the makers home page reads it is discontinued.

Any other possible way we can fix the problem? What is the Problem we are trying to fix anyway?

Win 7 64Bit, I7, GTX 480, 12GB RAM...

Thanx much,

Try Googling other download locations like http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Driver-Sweeper.shtml

Drivercleaner is a similar program.

no1 principial while using any PC:

Change of hardware=change of software

I have a GTX480. It runs the game with no issues. I don't have a config file for you, but i can't see it helping anyway. All my settings are default settings through the GUI.

You should not need to do this at all, complete overkill.

Sure a fresh install may be a good thing to do, but not because you change your gfx card.

I have 2 gtx480's and ctd on numerous occasions. I crash only when I'm in the menu's which is kind of weird! What happens is because I just got it yesterday. I'm still messing with my controls and have to exit out to the menu and when trying to make a change it ctd at times. Not one ctd during game play. My nvida cp is set to default for the game also, except for my global settings. Not sure if it's an sli issue or what. The game runs smooth at 2560/1600 every things medium except textures{high}. So far I pretty happy considering the troubles the first release{Europe} went through for our delayed usa launch.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing my drivers, game, and deleting the shaders cache and the game still crashes after I start the Launcher.exe. Sometimes I get a black screen and sometimes I get the windows pop-up 'this program has stopped working'

This is the only game I've had any issues with.

I'm running Windows Vista, x64 bit
i7 processor
6GB Ram
and I recently put in a GTX480 and my old sound card:
GTX480
Sound Blaster Xfi

I was running 2 GTS 250s in SLI

by chance where did you install the game? if C:\program files (x86) then try moving it some where out side that folder and install like this, C:\Ubisoft\il2 cliffs of dover\ make sure you run as administrator. right click the icon click on properties and advanced run as administrator.

re-installing my drivers

Use driver sweeper or drivercleaner to delete old drivers (read manual for them). Your system still 'thinks' you are running your old card.

I have tried both of these things, but the game is still crashing when I try to start the launch.exe

I've also tried switching from full screen to windowed and the game still crashes.

I've heard Steam{if that's where you got it} changes the game properties on it's own. It changes the compatibility to win xp SP3 on it's own{not always} on a win 7 machine. I am assuming you have win 7. I don't know if this happened but it's worth a check anyways.

What are your render settings in your config file? Should be Render D3D10.

Try re-installing the game. You can backup first in steam, delete the local content, manually delete the 1C folder in My Docs and then re-install.

480 runs the game pretty well - they are powerful cards, just very hot!

Changing from Nvidia to Nvidia, you keep the drivers. I never ever had to reinstall the drivers when upgrading from 8800->GTX260->GTX460->GTX570. But I always keep the Nvidia driver up2date.

I always delete with driver sweeper in safe mode boot and reinstall for every driver change even with the same card. Too many problems with too many games.

[tintifaxl]

The Nvidia driver package does an uninstall of the old drivers by itself. Never had a problem with that for quite a while now.

I used driversweeper and re-installed nvidia drivers for the card. I also tried re-installing an older driver version, but no luck.

I have Render D3D10_0. Is this right?

I am using Windows Vista x64 bit. I dont know if its Steam or Vista, because I was running the game using a GTS 250. So the game does run on my machine and operating system, but not with the GTX 480. This is the only game that does not run, so I assume it is something in the config.


I have uninstalled and re-installed the game, and I have deleted the 1C softclub folder, but I am not having any luck launching the game at all.

Did you look to see if it's running under vista or a compatibility mode?

Your render settings are correct.

I reread your posts and noticed that you have reinstalled your old sound card. Have you downloaded the latest drivers for the sound card? Alternatively, you can temporarily disable your sound card via the control panel and see if it helps.

[nakedsquirrel]

Well thanks for your help guys. I'm still not sure exactly what I did to get it to work, but this time when I deleted and re-installed the game, it launched.

Third time is a charm I guess.
