Windows® 8 Cliffs of Dover Fix (is here).

[broken pixel]

For all you anti virus junkies!

Definition:
False positives occur when a pattern of code in the file matches the same pattern contained in a virus signature. This can occur due to a faulty signature or it can occur after improper disinfection by the same or different antivirus scanner.

False positives can be more than just annoying. Repeated warnings that are erroneous cause the same effect as the boy who cried wolf. If too many false positives occur, when a legitimate warning is presented, users may disregard it. In other cases, a false positive can cause legitimate files to be deleted, causing the operating system or program to no longer function properly.

If your antivirus scanner says a file is clean that you believe is actually infected, here are six steps to determine if a virus alert is legitimate.

Some users claim that behavior blocking results in too many false positives. In fact, the very nature of behavioral analysis is to prevent any unauthorized modifications to key system areas. In the case of behavior blocking, the prompting for user input is a desireable occurance and should not be categorized as a false positive.

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but, I didn't understand a word you said lol
I unzipped it to my Downloads folder, Opened up Steam>Steam Apps>Common>IL 2 Cliff of Dover and placed the 2 files in there.

If that's what you mean by "point it to the il2 cod .exe in the steam folder" then I've done it.

I turned off my Firewall, Virus Protection and the Spyware Protection. I think I've pretty much done everything it takes to run the game with the new patch, but I must be missing something if it still don't run.

Have you gone here and read the 1st page of this thread?

It is not a patch and does not go into the il2 clod folder.

Download sky's fix called cloder, once the file finishes open it with either zip or rar. Make a folder on your desktop extract the cloder.zip files to your new folder.

Open up the folder you created with the extracted cloder files and double click the cloder exe. It will open a window and want you to navigate to the actual il2 cod .exe file located in steam/steam apps/common/

Once cloder has been told what exe to launch it should launch the game. There is also a read me file that sky included with his fix.

First off, I'd like to thank you for the walk through broken pixel.
Second, I still can't get it to run after doing what you said step by step. I'ts gotta be something I'm missing. I did everything you said and for some odd reason it's not running. it was supposed to be pointed to "steam/steam apps/common/" then the launcher for the game correct?

If so I still can't get the game to go.

@BillW71,

There are a number of ways to get the fix working, you are using one of the (three) methods.

You can put the two (.exe and .dll) files into your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder, just make sure they are in the same directory as "Launcher.exe".

After placing the files in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder you must execute (run) "CloDer.exe" (DO NOT run the game from Steam, this will not work [it bypasses the fix]).


Another Method (as broken pixel was trying to explain).

Extract the archive ("CloDer_v0.0.0.1.7z" or "CloDer_v0.0.0.1.zip") to a new folder on your PC (I'll use "C:\Downloads\CloDer\").

Go to the folder where you extracted the files (in my case "C:\Downloads\CloDer\"), locate and run the file "CloDer.exe".

Unlike the first scenario (above), "CloDer.exe" won't find "Launcher.exe" (therefore can't run it automatically) and will ask you to locate it (the "Open File" dialog will pop up), simply use the dialog to locate "Launcher.exe" in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder.

*Note: Steam must be running (in the background) in order to play the game.

Hope you get it running.

sYk0.

Your fix works very well, thank you. I have extracted files in IL2 folder (not the original one under Steam, but a copy in c:\Program Files (x86)). Just a remark : I must execute cloder.exe in administrator mode, otherwise nothing happens, is it due to the fact that I work with a copied directory?
I have also a problem when trying to play a mission created by mission builder, but it may be a quite different problem

Hi,

thanks a lot for the Windws 8 Fix. ClOD now works on my PC.

One problem remains: while the joystick is working fine, other controls (e.f. ctrl-E for bailing out) are not working. Changes to the control settings are accepted and stored by the program, but show no effect when flying.

Can somebody help? Thanks!

I redid my settings profile today. Thanks to "logon software" I was able to launch CoD and get into my Bf 110 but controls did not work. I installed 8 a few days ago and it has affected RoF as well on my PC. The settings had lost specific attachment to my joystick and it was a simple matter to reset it.

Copied both files across and when I run the required file it says that it cannot locate the dll file. Tearing my hair out as I just received my new fully speced up alienware x51 and the god damn game won't work. Really cheesed off. I really wish company's would test software with other software before they release stuff quick to take your money but not willing to support. Rant over, can any one please helpe get it working as I have followed the read me file and its still not working. Thanks
