Oleg and team are great... amazing team..

But COD they way they launched it.. is #$@#%@!! sh$#@$#@ T Bl@#$@#% Crap@#$@#$ Totally crap!.

all these problems we are having.. also.. the system requirements..
that was a load of crap also..

what you guys shoud have done is.. we waiting all these years... to release it to the public as a complete game that can be purchase from a retail outlet.. for RRP over 100 AUD, and now be able to play it...

i have bought this myself, now.. i will throw it on a sheft... untill such time,


This is a 100$$$ Beta version that i cant play... its a load of Crap!#@$!!

Why didnt you launch a Beta version to the public ? to test it.. ? i cant beleive you guys are doing this to us!!

i am totally annoyed... Oleg.. you guys.. have dissappointed me on the way COD has been launched... paying Full RRP... and the results...

Not a word from you Dev team in regards to this...

am i the only one feeling this way ??

Feel your pain, mate; I was there too:

Without really understanding why, the game is now working for me. Well, at least I can get in and play.

In addition to the advice in the above thread, here's my twopennies worth (no liability, of course!!) - maybe others with more knowledge could verify:

• Delete local content via Steam (in Steam go to Games Library; right click the IL2 CoD entry; delete local content).
• Delete 1CSoftClub folder in Drive Letter:/Users/your name/My Documents (saving any personalised settings files).
• Delete IL2 CoD folder under Drive Letter:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common.
• Use CCleaner or something to clean up any legacy registry entries.
• Reboot PC
• Now you're back to square 1.
• Check registry again.
• Re-install game.
• Run the programs in the redist folder in Drive Letter:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/il2 sturmovik cliffs of dover. Should be DirectX, DotNetFx and VCRedist.
• Find Launcher.exe in Drive Letter:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/il2 sturmovik cliffs of dover; right click on it, select Properties and tick Disable Desktop Composition under the Compatibilty tab. This stops Aero, screensavers, etc. from interfering. May not be anything, but it can't hurt.
• Reboot PC.
• Install latest graphics drivers (and do a Windows Update just in case too).
• Reboot.
• Disable anti-virus.
• Click the IL2 icon and cross your fingers...

I am only a basic user, so use this information at your peril. It's only logic based and not knowledge based.

As I said, I've no idea what the problem was or how it got solved. There was nothing from the devs (not even mentioned in Luthier's 2 dev. update threads), which was a little disappointing given how many people are suffering from various versions of this problem, and that it's slightly more important than framerates at this point IMHO!

Good luck.
