Display Driver has stoped working

[jdbecks]

Hi all,

at the moment I keep getting a window pop up during the game, saying a program has stopped responding, The game freezes then a couple of seconds I can continue playing. But everynow and then it will crash completely and a window will pop up saying a display driver has stopped working and recovered.

before the patch, I never had this problem at all...and the game ran quite smooth except London was a slide show. since the patch..my FPS is great and I can fly over London stutter free with good fps...I just seem to keep getting these crashes instead

Im using the latest Nvidia Drivers, and nothing has changed since I installed the patch, I done what was in the AVG sticky with my firewall but still no joy.

Hi,

I had this problem early on just after release.

I fixed my problem by changing to dx9 in the config file.

I have have an nvidia 8600gt which does not really support dx10

Don't know if this will fix your problem but it stopped that message and i could play without crashes.

hope this helps

kaisey: can you please describe how to change to dx9 in config file?

[kaisey]

go to my documents- open 1c softclub folder then the next sub folder IL2 cliifs of dover open the config file.

scroll down to where it says Render=D3D10_0 and change to
=D3D9_0exit and save

worked for me

Being on DX10 should not cause me the problems as my system is compatable with DX10, also prepatch the game was fine and I never had any instability issues

Try (Driver Sweeper) free download , then when you reinstall Nvidia drivers and the nvidia install screen comes up check the little box "remove old drivers" or clean install , I forget .
It fixed a lot of issues for me !

Hope this helps
