Hi Orik4321,

You haven't got this problem on your own. My instal was running fine then all of a sudden I have the same problem and have been unable to find a fix for it. I even tried a fresh instal but that has failed to fix the problem. I have put a question to "Steam" about it and will wait for a reply. Have tried all the suggestions that I can find on the forums but nothing works, even rolled back my graphics drivers from the Beta versions with no effect. Very frustrating. Will post here if I get some positive result from Steam.

Had a reply from Steam and tried all the suggestions with no result.
Here is the guts of the reply: -


NOTE: If you are running in Windows Vista or Windows 7, please completely exit Steam, and right-click on the shortcut which you use to launch Steam and select "Run as Administrator."

You may need to manually run secondary installers required by this game.

Exit Steam entirely.

Browse to your IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover installation folder (Usually C:\Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\)

You will need to run the following installers:

...\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist\DotNetFx40_client\dotnetfx40_client_x 86_x64.exe

...\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe

...\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist\GDF\GDFInstall.exe

...\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe

Then, restart your computer and test the issue again.

Title: IL-2 Sturmovik Series

Couldn't get the GDF.exe to work as I get the following error: -


Adding game failed: 0x80004005
GDF binary: E\Steam\Steam Apps\common\il2 sturmovik cliffs of Dover\redist\GDF\GDFExample Binary.dll GDF Install path: E:\Steam\Steamapps\common\il2 sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\redist\GDF All users 1

Note: This will fail if the game has already been added.


I tried a un-install of the game but then I don't have access to the GDF.exe.

Have asked for further suggestions.


Cheers
Rick
