Game start delay (3 minutes)

[alejulian]

When I start the game it stops at 50% for about 3 minutes. I got a profiler output here (seems related to a close() method on a SFSInputStream object):

I tried logging but there is no information other than the visible delay between two messages (10:26 and 10:29):

Is this a known problem? My OS is Windows 10 x64 1803, and IL-2 Sturmovik from Steam with latest update (4.13.4).

Looks like a problem with the graphics, are the drivers installed and what GPU are you using ?

Also create a folder on your hard drive eg: C:\IL2 1946

Copy and paste the v4.13.4 game files into there create a new desktop shortcut and run the game from eg: C:\IL2 1946 instead of the steamapps folder.

Thank you for your reply. I tried copying to "C:\IL2 1946" and it didn't help (also my C: is an SSD, and it didn't make any difference against the previous D: a mechanical drive so I don't think loading files is the problem).

My GPU is a Nvidia GTX 1060, CPU AMD FX 8530 with 24GB or RAM.

I have 2 monitors: a common 1920x1080 one and a 4k LG TV, playing from the TV as primary.

What I noticed is that if I open the game without first changing the resolution to the one I configured in the UI (1920x1080), it takes 2 extra minutes before the game actually changes it and shows the loading screen (so I'm using Display Changer II).

Moving the game is just to isolate it from Steam and updates you may not want and possibly overwriting any settings made..

The IL21946 conf.ini file needs this setting for multiple monitors iirc

[window]
width=1920
height=1080
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=1

Usually 3 monitors are used with Matrox triple head to go or something similar.

But newer GPU hardware can be setup in the Nvidia control panel,
it's been a while since i got involved with multiple monitors in IL2, you may have to explore Google

A: No.
