Issue with I-16 Type 18 freezing Il-2
 

No biggee but. . .

I have Il-2 patched to 4.11.1m (completely unmodded). I just noticed that when I end a session using the I-16 Type 18, then resume Il-2 later, I have a problem. That is, after reaching the main menu and selecting Quick Combat, after doing so, Il-2 hangs. Only the screenshot of the F4U shooting down a Zero appears. I then need to go to the task manager to exit. I cannot do anything further until I delete the last quick.

Although I have not tried every other aircraft as the last quick mission, only the I-16 Type 18 thus far causes this.

Has anyone else experiened this with any the or any other aircraft? Is there a solution?

Thanks.

Thought about this but I'm not really sure. If a specific asset is freezing the game my guess is that something has become corrupted.

Install the last few patches (in order) and see if the problem is fixed as a start.

I reinstalled from 4.08 forward. And this helped except. . .

Discovered after my last post that the same problem occured with the F2A and A6M2 - if they were used in the last Quick mission, the game would freeze when next started and Quick Combat chosen. (I haven't tried all other aircraft yet, but I did find these were an issue, too.)

After reinstialling, the Il-2 Type 18 and the F2A no longer cause the freeze, but the A6M2 does. Go figure.

Either you're having an unrelated problem.... or one of your patches is corrupt somewhere.

Perhaps you should redownload all of them as well. A bit of a pain but maybe it'll help.

This is largely a trial an error thing until you find the right combination.

IceFire:

Thanks for your help. It was tedious, but I re-downloaded (from Mission4Today) then re-installed the patches - 4.08 to present. So far, this seems to have corrected the issue with the three offending aircraft and I haven't noticed a problem with any others thus far.

Great news! I suspect one of the patches was corrupted somehow in the download and that caused the problem. It does happen from time to time.

Hope it continues to work well!
