Someone had benefits by deleting the conf.ini in the Documents\1C SoftClub folder. Make a backup copy just in case.

Cheers!

Running gamebooster is definitely causing my game to crash. Without fail.

I have had the full version since I bought IL2 and havent had any issue with it, might be something in your config for Gamebooster.

I'm sure you are correct. I had not experienced issues with it until i updated it a couple of days ago and ran a new configuration, now however if it's running I'll crash within 5 minutes. On the face of it there is nothing in my configuration that should cause that.

All of the above fine and granted.
I can get the game to run with the beta+mini patch, but just for once.
Before each game start I have to redo the above mentioned steps: Delete conf.ini, empty cache. Otherwise I end up with black mission maps, invisible screen after mission start and the like.

Reverted back to official release version eventually since I could not get any improvements from the latest beta patch either.

System specs:
i5-2500K
8GB RAM
Nvidia 550ti GPU

yep, same here. Also with GB my menus get corrupted, turn off GB menus fine and no crash in 5 mins.

Regarding GameBoost, it basically shuts down services and applications running in background. I suggest you to configure manually the list of services, and keep alive the nvidia related ones. Maybe GB is shutting down the nvidia control panel and this messes up the game-specific nvidia settings.

Cheers!

ah just get more ram, your better off. than using those 3rd party priority turn off (resident programs) running dormant. or do what I do right click and turn them off yourself.

I just turned GB off, i prob dont really need it anyway.
I did check what it turned off, no Nvidia stuff.

anything that claims to increase performance is stupid... is for those that have like... 1GB of ram... and don't know how to click start and type msconfig in the search bar.

all they do is clear any excess memory usage... or shut down programs that you're not using... things that anyone can easily do themselves... just by not downloading stuff that claims to increase performance, and by not running programs you're not using while you're playing... by shutting off programs that start when your computer starts, or setting them to not start when your computer does...
