[REL] 4.12 Official Release

[davido53]

I installed and now nothing works.

Using JGSME i clicked on HSFX and I get the startup screen showing HSFX with version 4.11.1 starting, then at 35% I get a window stating 'The application has requested that it be terminated due to runtime library blah blah blah'.

Ok, the only way I got this to start was by loading the 'safe dlls' using JGSME.

headsup for anyone else having my problems

downloaded in under a couple min. Initially wouldn't open the installer (I'm on win7 x64), but when I ran from the .zip it worked fine for some reason. Once installed, fired up fine first time installed over a clean 4.11.1. At first widescreen didn't work. It showed my correct resolution, but didn't use it, staying in 4:3 mode. I changed to a different resolution, then changed back and it worked. Some bit of strange there, but was easy enough to work around.

Thanks for all the new great content!

If you are using HSFX then you have installed the 4.12 over a Modded version of 4.11.1.

Install instructions and first post of this thread clearly state that an unmodded version of 4.11.1 is required to install 4.12 patch.

First feedback :

I really love the new effect and the new damage model (if there is???). Really like the new plane, etc.
I like all the patch.



But there is few things to fixe if possible (if it's easy)

- Smoke need to be longer
- Smoke when there is fire need to be darker (kind of black)
- For the map, it could be nice to have the map on the right corner or be able to move it :

And nobody answered my question : How to play the demo mission (mountain 4.12m). Can't find it in the "simple mission".

thx

I uninstalled all mods using JGSME, then ran into numerous problems. Using JGSME I installed the 'safe dll' mod and got the start screen, but when I click on 'quick mission' the whole shebang freezes up, my mouse freezes up, I have to reboot the computer.

Great fun!

No... you are missing the point.

This is an official patch.. It should be installed over a STOCK 4.11.1 .. NOT a modded version. Deactivating the mods does not turn it into a stock version. It is still a modded version playing in stock mode with no mods activated. Hopefully you have a backup.

By now .. and I can't remember how many times I have said this and I know I am not the only one.. but by now every person who flies IL2 should have at least one stock backup. Two if you fly UP/DBW (One 4.10.1 and one 4.11.1 or now 4.12) and a backup of the modded version they fly. Not only that ... before installing any patch it is always advisable to back up yourt stock version. You can always dlete the old backup once you test the newly patched version and make sure it works. Perhaps you can do a restore. That is what I would try first. Don't feel too stupid.. I formatted my backup drive once when my main drive crashed and I was trying to install a new one.. stuff like this happens.. and don't blame TD.. this is all on you my friend.. Good luck.


.. and a heart felt

THANK YOU!!

to TD... ~!S!~

Dude, you have to install over a clean unmodded 4.11.
