Can not get in game

SOLUTION

Go to 'conf.ini' and change 'Render=D3D10_0' to 'Render=D3D9_0

C : \ Users \ xxx \ Documents \ 1C SoftClub \ il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover \ conf

Render is about the 5th or 6th down from the top......Remember to copy the original just in case it doesn't work for you and you want to set it back to default.....It worked for me...Now I can get ingame but have the same slow FPS that folks are complaining about...At least I am on the same page as everyone else.....Also I don't get the 'Driver Has Stopped Responding and has Recovered' message either now...

On playing the game the graphics look awful....and I get the low FPS which I expected with such a low spec PC...But at least I have a start now...

REMEMBER..This worked for me...It may not for you but it is worth a try...

The 'Solution' was found here on a German website.....

I have translated a bit of it and as far as I can see the 'Render' refers to DirectX and by doing the above you set it to DirectX 9....Not sure about this or about the consequences of changing it so anyones input here would be good

Good Luck fellas...Hope this helps

Ok..Sorry it didn't work for you Doc...It didn't work for 't_t4trouble' either.....As I said it worked for me...maybe at least it gives us a clue as to which which ball park the problem is in....

This is what worked for me on the Steam download version:

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running all other installers in there too).

So pretty much run each installer in there. If it said 'repair' or 'uninstall' I just repaired it. But I found that for me, Direct X had not auto-installed in the first place. After I ran that and restarted my PC, it all appeared for me.

I hope that might help.

EDIT: I also updated the Nvidia driver to the latest one for my PC, and selected launcher.exe as a program in the Nvidia Control panel.

You might want try a simple solution.
(I'm having the same problems as posted above. Turning off AVG helps at times, but only about 3 percent of the time. Otherwise I get the 'driver has stopped..' warning and the game crashes to Desktop.)

(First disable AVG if you use it).
Try turning off Steam in the System Tray (right hand bottom of desktop). Then launch the game from your desktop COD icon.

I know it sounds strange, but it works quite a lot of the time for me.
