Sound Mod User here (yes guilty:-)), i have an Athlon XP 3000+ and the game did not start with the new .dll's (mg_snd_sse.dll and the other one).

But the game makes no difference when the original files are in place (il2fb.exe and files.sfs and the others), i have a version switcher for every version since 4.01.

But to clarify, after installing the patch and it didn't work, i made a new clean install straight from the DVD and patched to 4.08 then 4.09. Even that gave me the same result as on my main installation. Only the dll's from CSThor let me start the game in the 4.09 version.

Fx-60 user here... Once I got a DL tat wasn't corrupt everything went smooth. I have my switcher in and I have had no probs at all.

I copied my 4.08 install and just patched that with no problems. Two squadmates did the same and HAD problems! Strange stuff!

Everything worked fine, just needed to reinstall only 1 .dll. It seems that the mg_snd_sse.dll is buggy. The other new ones are fine. I get over Slokavia the following FPS:

Max: 75
Avg: 45
Mean Avg (meaning the most constant) : 35

I run it on perfect 1024x768 32 bit with 2x AA and 8x Antrosoptic.

My system specs are:

Winblows Vista Home Premium SP1 beta
AMD Athlon X64 Dual 5200+
ATI Radeon X1650SE with cat. 7.11
2 gigs memory

Thanks guys I appreciate it though not involved with the patch/MG/Ivan in any way just so many were having issues best to know exactly what's up.....Seems the early AMD thing looking interesting.

Version switcher for 4.09
 

how do you install the 4.09b patch with the version switcher? Could you explain the procedure as I don't want to mess up my 1946 4.08 installation?;)

many thanks,

Ok, let me sum it up a bit...

Apparently there is no problems with core DLL`s...Except some texture flickering along the coast lines for some 8800 series owners, yes?

There are no issues with increased visibility while setting LandGeom=3...

There is an issue with sound dlls, that kinda not related to this topic, but i`ll make a note of it. The issue seems to be with early AMD XP series and some AMD 64s....


Did i get it right?

Another AMD XP user having a No Go with the new dll's.

Sounds about right Ivan, the video is OK with my ATI card. Just the one .dll hangs up at 95%. BTW, I have a onboard sound card. Maybe that is the villian ?

I have both vanilla and modded versions running on a Quad core Q6600 and Gf8800gts, I have had no problems with either install so far (touch wood)
