Cliffs of Dover Technical FAQ

[Aeromaster]

Hi, I love the il2 series but this is the first one that I am having a problem with. It seems that I can load the game fine and go to the selection screen. The problem I am having is that none of the video works. When I go to quick launch, I cannot see the map, and when I go to view my aircraft before flight I cannot see it at all either, they both appear as a black box. When I ignore that and just try to fly, I can’t see anything, all I see is my desktop, but I can still hear my plane and when I move controls I hear the plane react too, just can’t see it.

I thought this was my problem
"3. Q: I see a black screen when launching the game.
A: You are most likely running an Nvidia card with 266.xx drivers. There's a problem with that particular driver version.
It can be resolved by either rolling back to a previous driver version, such as 257.21, or upgrading to the just-released 270.51.
The issue can also be resolved by manually adjusting one of the driver parameters in the registry. This is for more advanced users. Please modify the registry at your own risk.

Start - Run
regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\GraphicsDrivers
Edit - New - DWord
Name = TdrDelay
Value Data = 12"

But after upgrading to 285.xx the problem still existed and I modified the registry and that still did not work, so maybe I have a new problem or I just don’t see it. If I could get help with this it would be great, I would really love to play the game.

If needed my specs are
Windows 7 64bit
Nvidia 230m driver 285.62
6gigs of DDR3 ram
if anything else is needed just let me know

Hello

I have a different problem:

I've installed the game and the game works very quickly until I click "fly" for any missions. Then I just get sent back to the desktop but I hear the game running perfectly. Also when I press ESC I go back to the menu and the game works there. Also when editing skins, I don't see any pictures, just a black screen.

I'm running it on a Windows 7 computer with a intel HD 2000 graphics card @ 1.7GB

Ram 8 GB, intel i7 quad core 3.4 GHz processor, so the game should work.

Thanks for the help!

hmm,I like the forum

Thanks for this update, it's good to have some feedback again and good luck with your defect/bug hunting. That's what I do most days so I feel your pain!

Please would you comment on the availability of force feedback?
I did a basic poll on the subject and over 130 people really would prefer/need it.

ALSO

The propeller issue indicates that whilst the epilepsy filter is now optional the application remains altered for anti-epilepsy purposes, that must be so if you never expect the props to be put back in, right?
Does that also imply that there might be other changes made in the future to counter the possibility of epileptic triggers or not.

Thanks

Thanks Luthier, Question!

With refrence to your note about dx9 reset. How do you know if you have done this or not? Do you mean in the conf.ini ?? My conf.ini is set to Render=D3D10_0

But my images look like the graphics are not scaling up.


Nothing i do seems to change the graphics to use MSAA and that is set at MSAA=4

I am using win7 with 285GTX

Any ideas?
