Il2 1946 on steam resolution issues.

[MadBlaster]

look for the file config.ini. this has your game settings for video, audio...etc. you will likely have to tweak a lot of these parameters to suit your needs.

for resolution look for this section:

[window]
width=1152
height=864
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=1
Use3Renders=0


there is a guide somewhere (like mission4today) that explains what all the settings do and what happens if you change the numbers (e.g., 0 to 1, etc.)

for the mouse i think these:

[rts]
ProcessAffinityMask=2 good idea to run on one core only
mouseUse=1
joyUse=1
trackIRUse=1
DisableIME=0
locale=
JoyProfile=3

[rts_mouse]
SensitivityX=1.0
SensitivityY=1.0
SensitivityZ=1.0
Invert=0

[MouseXYZ Config]
RealTime=1


Also, I recommend open/gl instead of direct x. Also, SLI, I don't think that works for this game. So that could be screwing up your video output if it isn't set right.

actually it is called

"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\conf.ini"

here's link to various setup guides at mission4today including one on conf.ini. there's also the old il2 ubisoft forums that will have lots of setup stuff.

Thank you very much, Ill be home later this evening to try this. I hope it works.

Re. SLI IL2FBAEP works with the SLI enabled, and I have tried disenableing it for 1946, that did not mke a difference.

Ill keep my fingers crossed. I feel 42 again!

Hey MadBlaster, I looked for the folder tha you referenced, but this particualr install is a STEAM download, that folder Is not in the UBI folders or the STEAM folders.

Is there something differen that has to be done if it is a STEAM download and install?

oh yes. I'm on windows xp and not steam version.

try this. find the il2 icon on your desktop and do a right click, go to properties then look for the target location. you want to go to that location. I think il2 folder will reside within your steam directory??? but not sure. once you get to the il2 directory, you will see all the folders and files inside. sort that window by the 'type' column and then look for all the files of type 'configuration settings'. one of those files will be the conf.ini. open it, edit it as needed and save it. you might also get in the habit of making a back up copy of it so as you do your tweaking in due course, you have something to fall back to in case you mess up the current version.

Try program files/steam/steamapps/common/il2 sturmovik 1946

OK, Im in, finally found the folder. Thnx for the directions.

NOW, I have the mouse working, got rid of the intro, and have been playing with the WINDOWS adjustments. I have tried all sorts of combinations. In the end the best that I can get is my monitor from left to right about 80% covered.

When I select FULL SCREEN in the game menu I go back to square one. And everything goes to hell.

SHOULD, the WIDTH and HEIGHT in the CONFIG FILE match my desktop resolution? Or should it match the resolution that I am going to run the program in? I would like to run the program at 1600x1200 32 BIT, FULL SCREEN.

I seem to be at the point where I am chasing my tail.

You all have had great input up to now, is there some magical combination in the [window] config file that I am missing.

Thank you again.
