4.12.2 de-bugging

[Fenrir]

I have already sent this to the TD email but am reposting here to see if any others are having similar issues:

I have an unusual issue since installing the 4.12 patch - it went over a clean unmodded 4.11.1 and proved erratic at first: I had no sky or ground textures, just black but could see aircraft airfields etc, so I reapplied the 4.11.1 patch and redownloaded the 4.12 (via torrent the 2nd time) to make sure I had uncorrupted installs.

Every seemed to be fixed, except that I now cannot exit missions using the 'Esc' key. Troublesome to say the least!

All other keyboard commands work. I downloaded latest drivers for my GPU (GTX 560Ti, now running 320.18 drivers), have ensured my game .exe is being run as administrator in Windows 7 mode - my current OS - and even also tried running as XP SP 3 mode but still no luck and now I am bang out of ideas.

I'm running the game at 1920x1080x32 in Fullscreen with Wide FoV. I notice that I get a windows mouse cursor in game all the time, not just when I open my map; is windows somehow not recognising Il-2 as the primary program?

All other games including an HSFZ modded version of 4.11.1 do not have this problem and respond normally to the 'Esc' key; is there something I am missing?

Cheers again.

I will add that I have since done a full install from scratch, from dvd, applying all patches and manually converting the conf.ini and all user files and completely from default remapping my controls in case it was a compatibility issue with pulling over legacy .ini files and...

... the problem still persists. Given that i get a windows cursor even in mission, I'm assuming that somehow Il-2 is not getting priority for display or commands, yet all other keys work save the 'Esc'. I can open HSFX 6 immediately after and all functions normally.

It's a bit odd!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit: Extra information - the cursor in the GUI is standard windows white arrow not the yellow chevron normally associated with Il-2. Are you guys all getting the standard yellow chevron?

Fenrir:
Check you conf.ini
In section [Hotkey gui] make sure you have the following line:
Escape=activate

In section [rts] make sure that
mouseuse=2

If there's a 1 there, that's the cause for Windows system pointer appearing instead of the game one.

WOZ you absolute star! Thanks mate; the entire [Hotkey gui] was absent from my conf.ini for some reason, it's now back and I can finally exit missions!

I owe you a beer old boy; if you are ever in the South East of England I'll honour that with a beverage of your personal persuasion! Thanks!

So this is not a 4.12 bug? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING IT IN THE 4.12 DEBUG THREAD!!!

Maybe a planned/known feature... My pilot died while I was a gunner. I could fire the gun, but not bail out. I was in quick mission builder.

New feature: Child safety locks. Only the pilot's door has the button, though. Downside is that if the pilot dies, well, so do you.

Sorreh.

Hello,
With 4.12 I have a back desk after a few minutes playing. I click on the Il21946 icon on my desk and the game comes right back. No error message. I remember that I had that problem with some ohter applications runing under as Itunes for instance: each time Itunes had an update to propose if I was playing with Il21946 the game went back on the desk and I could see the itunes window update...Are there other applications creating that problem?
My config :
2x GeForce GTX 460 from Nvidia
processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @3.07GHz
Memory : RAM 12
Windows seven 64 bits
