However, I DO NOT think it is a waste of money, or a piece of crap, and Steam does not suck...I will stick with it as I believe in Oleg and his development team.

The angry guys need to chill....mind you, it probably saves them beating their wives.

In the meantime, I'll be around in IL 2 1946land.

I agree with you Deadstick. Good luck with your tweaks.

I meet all the minimum requirements,which were stated before the release. There was no mention about a NEED to have DirectX 10 compatible card under Win 7 or am I blind and you just see what I cannot ??

Make sure you have installed the redist programs needed for Il2 BoB to run (DirectX, VC 2008 controls, DotNetFx 4.0 - they can all be found in IL2 BoB's install folder/redist), and that you actually rebooted your computer after installing them.

Thanks mate! I hope this works.

S!

Also and oldie: run as Admin the installers of any program.

Same problem here - "Launcher has stopped working" immediately I try to launch.

I don't have great specs but I expected to be able to launch the game at least;

Core 2 Duo E8600 @ 3.33 GHz
4MB RAM
ATi 4870 (latest drivers)
Vista Home Premium

I've tried re-installing everything as suggested above

Disappointed.

Success! Thanks for posting that above.

IF you bought the game off Steam as I did, you will need to:

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).

So, I'm now in slideshow heaven, but it works!

Hi,

UK DVD version

Have dual core 2.7ghz, 4 gig ram, Nvidia 9600 gt (500mb - DirectX 10 compatable)

Doesn't even launch! I get an Error signature and AVG thinks that :

crogams Files\ Steam\SteamApps\common\il2-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ rendobj.dll

is a threat! Well it is to my sanity!

This is poor!

Update: I've calmed down now

Got around the AVG by adding that file to the exceptions list and then right clicked the RAF icon in the steam application and clicked the updatye cache button and it now works.
