Problem is not fixed and is unlikely to be as 1C have long since abandoned support. I think it's a memory issue. The latest patch probably pushes the memory required beyond that available in a 32 bit system. This would explain why Launcher tries to read location 0, which is the error I get when it crashes. I tried unselecting every graphic option to try and reduce the amount of data being loaded but still the game runs out of memory while loading.

Basically the minimum requirements of the game have changed, making it unusable for people like us whose specs were previously OK. Best bet for a solution is to approach the vendor of the game. In my case that was Just Flight, and they offered me an exchange for another title which I accepted. I'm not sure Steam or UbiSoft would be so generous. UbiSoft don't recognise there is a problem with 32 bit Windows and simply ran me around in circles trying various pointless suggestions.

Customers have been very badly treated by 1C.

Now I tried a crazy solution that was partially mentioned above, and surprisingly it worked (partially.) I had the original game patched with the official final patch, then i applied the Team fusion mod 3.0 and at least the beta patch 18301 - and the game worked! Crashes only came when all gets too crowded, I have to stay a bit beyond middle video settings. If a mission crashes, a reboot helps. So, nice graphics, but gameplay is not better than in il2 1946.
