HELP:- No Visuals/Pilot/Aircraft

[Venatore]

Hello,

I have the load screen, I can see all the screens to adjust audio/graphics/ realism and I have audio, however; When game loads with the picture with the two tanks it remain there, I can hear the aircraft engines and all the audio sounds but no visuals, I also can't see the pilot in the creation selection screen nor the aircraft in the aircraft selection screen.

I'm using a laptop with the following setup up:-
CPU- PB400
Vista Premium
HD- 250 GB
Memory 2 GB
ODO- DVD Sup.MTI.
Ddisplay- 15.4WXGA
Graphics- ATI HD3470

I apologise, but I don't know much about computers, please; if you are directing me to change a file please give pathway to file.

I appreciate any help in advance.

Kind regards

Ven

Doc uk, Thank you very much for replying & trying to help me. However; I am still unable to see the pilot in the start-up pilot selection configure screen or the aircraft configure selection screen. I still have no visuals either. I can hear everything.

I brought the game from a gaming retail shop so I hope that little bit of information helps.

The game remains oo the screen with the two tanks sitting on 95-100% load-up, but; like I said, I can hear when I shoot, throttle up etc.

Sitting here patiently

Kind regards

Hi Venatore, did you try the following?

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running other installers in there too).

I actually tried running ALL the installers in that folder. I just saw that you were using a retail DVD, so the file directory will not be the same. But try running these installers as they are necessary for the game to run.
