I downloaded:

Patch from 4.13.4 to 4.14.1
https://gtac-sim.fr/patch/IL2_414_4141_MULTI.exe
https://gtac-sim.fr/patch/IL2_414_4141_MULTI-1.bin

I opened IL2_414_4141_MULTI.exe
and started the patching process, the installation program asked me to select my game folder and so i did. i pressed install and it did its thing. But when i open the game it is still in 4.13.4 what am I missing?
Firstly, I think you mean the GOG version. I have never used the GOG or Steam versions, but I remember a Steam user claimed the 4.13.4 to 4.14.1 patch broke the Steam version for them. Maybe GOG is the same.

His fix was to load the 4.14 patch first, then the 4.14.1 patch separately. He said that worked fine.

In any case, when installing the 4.14 patch, make sure you have the exe and the bin file in the same folder (any folder) when you run the exe, and direct the install to the folder where your 4.13.4 files are.

Also make sure you back up any third party programs you may have attached, because the anti-cheater element of the 4.14 installer can delete them. In fact a complete backup of your install is a great idea if you can do it.

Let us know how you go. The 4.14 and 4.15 patches can be difficult. If you have further problems please ask.
