QMB, causes IL-2 to freeze on loading

Try to delete .last.quick file in your Quicks folder.
The file might be hidden by default in Windows.

I had the same problem and I was searching the forum for a fix, it worked for me too. Maybe you need to put a void file with the same name on the next HOTFIX?

I think the problem comes from using mods. You can actually patch UP3 to 4.11 and in the selector chose 'stock game' to run 4.11 and Ultrapack for UP3 (jmg-thing also needs switching), however if you setup a mission in QMB on UP3 with modded planes and then switch to stock, the game will freeze as it reads the last.quick from UP3. Thus a void file as a hotfix is not necessary. People who experience the freeze either are using 4.11 and UP3 on the same install, or use the configuration files which previously were used for UP3.

Spot on, if last.quick was made in modded game it might contain references to planes or maps that are not in stock 4.11 and that's what results in game freeze.
