Game will not start!

[335th_GRAthos]

You are posting to the wrong sub-forum, the one you should be asking and looking for solutions is the last forum: CoD download, installation and activation threads here:
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=193

The description of your problem is a bit vague so I can only try to make some suggestions:


#1 Go back to the current official version of the game
Your STEAM is working I presume.
In STEAM, right-click on the CoD game and select Properties
In the new window that appeared, t the top menu list, select LOCAL FILES and then ask it to VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE
Steam will then download the correct files of the current official version.

You should now be able to play the game.

#2 Your game should be at (if you have Win7-64): c: Programm(x86) Steam SteamApps common il2-sturmovik Cliffs of Dover
Make a back of your CoD game directory somewhere else in your hard disk (let's call it CoD2)

#3 Unzip the beta patch files into the CoD2 directory.

So now, when you start the game from Steam you will have your offical version, when you start the launcher.exe from the CoD2 directory, you will be running the beta patch.
(Steam has to be running in the background in both cases).

I hope it helps...
