installation help
Hello All,
I do not know if my situation is common but I will explain what I have done and maybe someone can give me more advise. 1. I have an older game original disk. I am not sure which version. 2. Here is what I see when I install. I have tried the auto install and when I start the install i get message as normal (preparing to install) and after that I see no install progress no install path requests but after about 4 or 5 min. I get the direct X install and I click to install it. That part seems to install ok. after that I get the usual prompts that come after Direct X and the game has the box that has the menu that allows me to start the game. When I start the game I get the error message that says IL2 has stopped working. 3. I have also tried other tips from the forums like installing using a. in the game directory ( still did not work ) I also tried to install via 1033 folder ( did not work ) 4. Since I know the game is a 32bit game and it automatically installs in the x86 part of the drive I think that may be the issue but I am not sure how to install to the 32bit folders as I never see an option to choose the directory. I always have created a folder and copied and pasted to the 32bit directory. Thanks for reading and Thanks for any help Sturm |

Don't know if you were successful, I notice your post is a few months old, but the game is designed to look for DirectX 9. You obviously must have a newer OS and the game didn't find DirectX 9 and stopped installing. Probably right around 21%. I purchased a version (4.13.3 and 4.13.4) from GOG Games that went around that issue. (I have Windows 10 with DirectX 12) I also noticed the game no longer used OpenGL since Windows 10 doesn't recognize OpenGL and I've even found a fix for that issue as well. I downloaded a version of DirectX 9 from Microsoft and installed into a DirectX 9 folder and then another program from Microsoft that installed parts of DirectX 9 into DirectX 12. Fortunately, I still had version 4.12.2 that used OpenGL on my older hard drive and copied it over and upgraded from that back up to 4.13.4. Now I have all versions installed and using OpenGL on Windows 10. |

Am I correct in assuming you have a better or faster way to get IL-2 1946 installed on a Windows 10 system that would use OpenGL? Would you care to expand and elaborate a bit? I'm certain other players would love to hear it. |

The video driver contains the open gl information.
ATI have been known to be problematic NVIDIA are straight forward ogl driver installation |

"The video driver contains the open gl information." "NVIDIA are straight forward ogl driver installation " That was the whole issue with why I downloaded DirectX 9. Windows 10 (DirectX 12) DOES NOT use or recognize OpenGL--even though that's what graphics cards use. |

Just do a simple search, and you will find a lot of answers about this kind of problem. They are the same that come along with Win 8. And your answer about OpenGL support is far away from being true. |
