4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

I installed directly upon 1946 4.08m DVD version, German language.
Everything works fine, but there's one glitch that spoils it again for me:
When flying offline, German radio traffic is mutilated. Voices are constantly cut off, on and off, on and off, it's hardly understandable.

Can't get it back to normal! Maybe somebody out there has an idea.

Tried out a couple of things, inside and outside IL-2, but still can’t get a grip on this nervy voice problem. That is, about half of the radio in-flight communication appears as it should, the rest is just dropped. Easy to notice because the written text lines are all complete.

Strangely, it’s not always the same modules that are missing, it’s totally unpredictable.
Example:
> text should be:
- No. 2, verstanden
- No. 3, verstanden
- No. 4, verstanden

> it comes out once as:
- No. 2, ---
- --- , ---
- No. 4, verstanden

> the next time it is:
- --- , ---
- No. 3, verstanden
- --- , verstanden

and so on

As if the virtual playback mixer could no longer count to three.

conf.ini is o.k. & unchanged. Music & sound is o.k. anyway. The. wav voice module files in the speech folder are all there , unchanged and intact.
So the bug – if it is one- is messing up coordination of the voice modules.
Now I’m not a programmer. I’ll post this around and then call it a day.

Have a nice flight

I too have the issue with the speech being cut off or not spoken at all on the radio. I had this with the 4.09beta too, so I've stayed with 4.08 all this time.

Everything installed as instructed: 4.07 off the disc, 408m patch, then the new 4.09m. I've had no other issues other than speech being cut off or missing completely, just like the beta had.

Using an Audigy 2 sound card if that helps.

Did you perhaps try the older versions of mg_snd.dll and mg_snd_sse.dll? Perhaps the new ones cause this as well? Mission4today.com has an older set under DOWNLOADS - PATCHES - DLL PATCHES ... Backup your current ones, copy these into the Il-2 root folder and see if the problem is cured.

The problem (in my config) is not dlls, but files.SFS: mantaining the old one (from dvd), the game starts, while with the newer it crash just after loading.

ps: with old files.SFS, the game starts with older/newer dlls

WTF? That's a new one for me ...

If you are using the 4.08 (files.SFS) then you are running 4.08. That is the file that tells the game what SFS files to load and not load.

If you are having trouble with 4.09 files then I would suggest downloading again from a different source and try again. One of the files might be corrupt.

Good luck to you.

Are you sure that your game is v4.08m before you applied the patch?
You can see the version when the game is loading.

I did as you suggested and got the older sound.dll's from Mission4today and IT WORKED! No more cut off and missing speech in the radio transmissions. I tested it in 2 different missions in 2 different Dgen Campaigns and no issues with the radio.

So I guess these older dll's fix a loading error for some people (which I didn't have), but also fix the speech cut off/missing error that I had. Thanks for the idea; I didn't think to try it since I had no trouble starting the sim.

Thankyou csThor, those files you suggested have done the trick,no more speech errors.
