IL2 and windows 7 (64bit)

1.JaVA_Zeehond · #1 11-16-2009, 08:30 PM

Settings are fine. I did a clean install of win7 (format) downloaded all the latest drivers for my pc. So no problems there. I installed all the patches. first 4.08 then 4.09 + 4.09 skins.

In just even bought the 4.09 version from www.GoG.com. Even better!! It installs for 1/3 and then quits... pfftt... this gonna take a lot of time. Hope I can fix it.

BTW I offer one million spacebucks for the golden sollution ;p

I know it is normally forbidden to ask but it might solve my problem. Is there a 4.09m nocd exe arround? I'm asking this cause it might be a securerom issue!

Just google, but I think the old ones work ??? Its been a few months since I reinstalled, so don't remember everything. You may be looking at a format ...... there is nothing wrong with this os and IL2. It actually runs damn fine and I have a quadcore. Don't need to set cpu or anything.

I remember a couple of dudes over at the ubizoo mentioned you can't install IL 2 to the program folder, IL-2 has to write stuff back to the config file and windows 7 (took this from Vista) only lets admins write to that folder. Since IL-2 cannot be granted such access . . . it won't work.

Make a games folder in your root C: and put it in there.

Definitely a good point, if you don't disable UAC and WindowsDefender.

Exactly right! As long as you don't have it in Program files it will be fine.

Even more practical is a separate partition on the hard-drive. It saves the need to defrag the gigabytes that the game(s) take up, and preserves them if you ever need to format and reinstall your OS. You just have to take care with selecting the filepath when up-dating or adding skins, missions and so on.

I also like Win 7 64bit, it's a good replacement for XPx86 imo

Just wasted another couple of hours because of securerom malfunctioning.

Shipping versions of IL2 at this late stage with a securerom that is totally incompatible with win7/64 and requires the machine to be online to update it is inexcusable and shows no respect for customers.

If anyone ever starts a class action to sue UBI over the time and money wasted due to securerom let me know

I have advised the user to forget about IL2 and they are returning the game to the store.

Does anyone have a link to info about removing securerom from a system?? ... they are not keen on reinstalling windows.

It is most likely a securom issue. Try the following.

Go here: https://support.securom.com/analysis.php

Download the SecuROM diag tool and run a scan. Just get it to update the nessesary files and it should then run.
