Game freezes

Check the temp of your video card the next time you play the game.

Well, as I said, my OC is completely stable. I've been running it for 18 months now and I don't get issues in any game (i.e. FarCry 2 nearly maxed out, also ran stress tests when I first OCed).

Not sure if error reporting has been disabled, but I do get an error message -as described- just not a very informative one.

In any case, switching to DirectX has solved the problem so I assume the issue was the same as others were having with OpenGL. Most said a driver rollback cured the problem in that case.

But a new problem has arisen - I suck balls at the game! Since I had so many take-off attempts due to the game crashing I can now take-off pretty well but I've yet to finish my first campaign mission (flying the IL-2 to take out a small convoy). The first time round, the first attack run took out the whole convoy and we just headed home, but I crashed on landing
Since then, it's taken several runs to take down the convoy and eventually enemy fighters are upon us and the annihilate us every time! The other two IL-2s flying with me don't seem to engage in a dogfight, the just fly straight and level to get picked off while screaming for help while I try and chase these nimble fighters around at 350m and often end up crashing into the trees.

I don't think any level of computer maintenance will help me with that

This sounds so familiar.


No, I fear that a computer-guru won't help. We've all been there and it's just practice that will get you out of there. Plus setting up joystick and input curves, maybe. But judging situations, situational awareness and knowing your own plane and others are the keys for mastering these situations. And these come mostly with experience, your own, or those you read and salvage for your own tactics.
