what a joke

So now when i try and select single mission from the menu, the game just freezes and stops responding (quick mission seems to work and so do all the others) I have to force the program to shut down through the process manager....it seems the long i have this game the more stuff that i find wrong with it...i mean this is basic stuff here, BASIC stuff...

hopefully you get these error reports or what ever is getting sent out after the fact...then again knowing how these windows computer technology is, i wouldnt doubt if these bug reports just get sent straight to Microsoft garbage bin...

wow now i cant even join the mission editor, it just open up the map with out any objects loaded, the map is full screen no menu bar or anything no mouse cursor...so much for starting mission from the mission builder....wow just wow when i started to use the smaller maps for my home made missions, to achieve better performance, the game breaks down...

So this happened rather recently? As if the game "broke itself" ? I've had issues happen too, but deleting the "conf.ini, confs.ini and confUser.ini" (make backup) from both 1C softclub folder and the game root folder, then selecting "verify integrity of game cache" from the steam properties menu it "resets" and works a charm again

I know it's a bug, but the community have tons of workarounds out here if you'd just read a little on it. That seems to be the only solution until MG straightens things out

Cheers

There is a lot about this on the forums, obviously something is wrong with your installation, or you have hardware issues...or?...

When I installed it, everything went fine and so it did with the large majority of people, but I agree there are a lot of issues and the game can be frustrating when you set it up first as there are bugs aplenty.

Also be warned if you use the CEM, that there are four types of propellers that react differently etc...

The mix of bugs, ill chosen or non-existent defaults, illogical menu choices, and propeller and engine complexity is a little disconcerting at first...

But once that is done, it's a great game with issues that will be solved in the next few weeks...and months. I play at least an hour everyday and I love the amazing DM, and the satisfaction of hitting is the best aspect of this game.

But if the installation itself (North American release version in my case) doesn't go correctly, its not the game.

thanks for the help i will try deleting those files and then getting it to repair it self....yea these problems came out of no where it just happened, using the mission builder and going in to single missions menu to play them and check them, it worked last night and now today even after restarting my computer it still wont work....this is a joke...

seriously they are taking 2 months to make a sound fix patch...how about they fix the game it self, at this point they can have little 8bit nintendo beeps and i would be satisfied, as long as i can fly the plane with the damage model and so on...(also every realism setting EXCEPt FOR CEM is on) assuming i can actually play the game....

here is a hint and it dosent take much common sense...when the users cant even access the basic features of the game (such as being able to play it) they dont care about things like sound other other features that are extra beyond the game it self working as intended....

its like you make a movie, and the movie is a blank screen, but you spend all your time making sure the sound is good???

logic anyone???any one see any logic here???

You seem to think that everybody has the same problem you have...but they don't.

so i just made a new mission, using the big map, just a simple tank attack mission. ran it from the mission builder as the single mission menu wont work...mission ran fine nothing really wrong with anything including the sounds...they arent great but it works....ok it works for a short while....another bug for the list would be the land turning black when i go really close to the ground and i have to climb about 5oo meter for it to go away...had a fun mission regardless of that annoying but rather harmless bug, flak that i had placed on the ground had killled me, and i closed the mission, the game had some sorta run time error and the program closed it self...i opened it again went to mission builder to open the map i just played, and i get the same or similar error and it closes the program...hope this helps you guy to fix it...i tried to be as detailed as possible...

where did i say this...the only thing that i seem to think is that many people have random issues with this game (i also seem to think not very highly of you people as well, developers excluded, they are fine and i want something from them so i will be nice for now)....and these seem to be random issues...one day it works fine and the next its screwed up...of course since they are random errors, only a minority will have any given error at any given time...

I think your wrong man.. The game has problems.. and ever so often I get crashes on load of a mission/map. The game is bugged to death. Dont act like he isnt bringing up valid points because there is other people that are having these problems and MUCH MANY more different problems.

Yeah we have learned to worked around them by now for the people who has had it much longer.. But what a pain in the ass it has been..

I had crashes, I had problems and there are workarounds for some, I still have crashes but I can play it. The problems described here are that the game does not start. I can play it, I do and its fun but it does have a slew of bugs as did Il-2. If you fly A10-C since the start, you know it took months to iron out the bugs. Just be patient, when a dev makes a new visual system, its always rough the first year.

need to know your system specs if you want any help, are you running the game in dx9, what operating system?
