He111,

On the page you show, come to the driver version line. At the right hand end you will see the square with the crossed emblem in it, click on that and it will open up the profile page.

At the top of that page it will show the profile version currently in use (usually it will show "Global" unless you change it ). At the right hand end of the profile panel there is a small downward pointing arrow, click on that and it will show all the current Nvidia profiles in alphabetical order. Unless you have already installed Luthier's code there will be no "Il2 Cliffs of Dover" profile showing. If you have installed it, but have updated the Nvidia drivers and not re-imported the "saved" profile it will have disappeared from the profile list. As I have said, there is no official support from Nvidia for "Il2 Cliffs of Dover" so every time you update your drivers you must re-import the profile from where you have saved it (I have made a new folder in My Documents called "C.o.D. Sli profile" and that is where I exported the copied profile to so that I can re-import it back into Nvidia Inspector when necessary).


Now comes the part that you will need to do. Install Luthier's Sli code.

This post will tell you how to do this. Remember, save any changes you make at the right hand side of the profile page (Apply Changes). If you have done everything correctly you will then find "Il2 Cliffs of Dover" listed on the profile page below the two current Il2 official profiles. Open up the profiles list from the Profiles panel at the top of the page and select "Il2 Cliffs of Dover" , the profile will show the coding supplied by Luthier, once again apply changes.

If you have trouble with this procedure I will be happy to help you.

Thanks Rick, that kinda worked, i now have SLI working for CLOD ... but it added a bug i didn't have before.

Now when i run CLOD, any version, The menu screens aren't refreshing. it appears to stall the program but when i mouse over the screen, menu options and click-boxes appear. Looks the the next screen loaded with options but background stayed as previous screen. Refresh problem?

I rebooted my computer, didn't help.

Any ideas, thanks again,good to see some CLOD faithful still around.

Without seeing the screen I'm not sure exactly what you have. Do you realise that if you have a Tf moded game that other mods aren't compatible with that and won't work. I have 3 versions on my pc, the original with patches plus a Reticle mod. The TF version with the current update of theirs (no other mods in this) and a third version with the "Malta" mod with the Reticle mod.

I also have all versions on different drives (have my 1tb drive partitioned into 5 separate drives).
So far I don't have any funny screens appearing like you describe, can you post a screen shot?

Have you tried deleting the cache files from your 1c Soft Club in "My Documents/1c Soft club/Il-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover/cache/shaders", all the files in the shaders can be deleted and the game will rebuild them.
The other option is to go into "Steam" and get it to verify the game integrity (Double left click the Steam icon/right click on C.o.D. game/select properties/local files/verify integrity of game. This will check all your files and replace any that are faulty. If you have mods in there that you have installed yourself you may have to re-install them so make sure you have them backed up somewhere.

No ,it's a clean download from Stream, released version. i also have 3 other versions, each with their own mod. I tried deleting the cash files, didn't help, and have already reverified the cache in Steam - no help.

Here's the pictures, all my 4 versions of CLOD have this problem, suspect it's a incompatible option in the SLI settings?

Check your Nvidia Control Panel settings. This is what mine looks like: -

Physics Settings= CPU
Maximise 3D performance= select

I cannot see that picture, it's too small, thumb nail doesn't expand that much.

But what I think i can see is that your showing me "configure SLI, Surround, PhysX" option, that would be good to see but i also would like to see your "Manage 3D settings" -> "program settings" -> "IL2:Cliffs of Dover"

Thanks.
