4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

II/JG54_Zent · #1 10-04-2009, 10:52 PM

I installed the 4.09m patch international version on a clean 4.08m vanilla version...
I checked the 4.08m version before installing the patch. It worked fine.

After patch 4.09m my game doesnt even start. If i click on the exe nothing happens.

I doubleckecked the downloaded patchfile. It has the correct (i suppose) 566MB. In order to single out a possibly corrupted file i downloaded the patch from another source and tried again... same... no reaction at all...

I run WinXp service pack3, all latest patches, Athlon XP 3200, 2 gig ram, Nvidia 7900 GT 512 MB vram...

As i read in this thread it seems i am not alone..

Guys, i am sorry to say but after all this time for producing the patch you produced a huge bug i would say.

Any help appreciated.

I had a similar problem with installing over a clean copy of 4.08m - a SecuRom error! It's been a long time since I saw one of those

Even when I put in the disc it wouldn't work: told me I had the wrong disc and shut me down. To get around this, I asked a mate of mine who had a non-SR version with 4.09 installed to send me his il2fb.exe file, and that worked just fine.

Also, I fixed up a mate of mine by getting him to substitute his new mg_snd and mg_snd_sse dll files for the originals in 4.08. He was having the same symptoms as you Zent, and has a similar rig also.

One small problem for me. When I finish a offline mission all the buttons at the bottom of the screen such as the refly, main menu, apply and save track are gone and so is the mouse icon. The text is still there but that's it. I've never had this problem and installed the patch over a completely clean 4.08m version. Any ideas?

First off, I don't know what causes this.

I have seen it before, it's not happening to me currently. I think it may be connected to the latest Ati drivers. When I recently reinstalled Vista, it selected it's own driver for my card and I've not upgraded from that for fear of this. When it did happen to me, switching from open GL to Direct X fixed it, there may be something cleverer that also fixes it, if so I'd like to hear about it. Could be Vista isn't part of the problem, but it is what I'm using.

Hi, one problem which I have: I understood that there should be a possibility to save/load different joystick profiles in Input Options Setup page. I saw some video in youtube which was telling about this. But at least in my version this is not visible. The drop-down list for four different joysticks aren't there, actually that Input page looks excatly same as in 4.08m version. Should it be enabled somehow somewhere or... (conf.ini?) am I missing something. I installed 4.09m patch to well-working 4.08m (no mods...) and everything has worked fine for six years now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I read the SimHQ.com article again: http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_420b.html

I'd guess that joystick profile feature wasn't included in the 4.09m package after all. Would have been nice feature though. ??

i tried both with Drive and original il2fb.exe and also with non SR exe.
If i use the original Disc and exe the securom testing icon (rotating disc) appears and then nothing anymore....

if i use a modified exe the hourglass symbol appears for a few secs and then finish...

S!

my 4.08 starts without problem: after 4.09 patch, the game CTD after 5% loading (even with old dll).
I play it under vista32 (with administration privilage).
Any suggestion? Thanks!

The problem seems to be in the mg_snd and mg_snd_sse dlls ... i exchanged those with the files from the 4.09 beta and game loads up normal and runs... the new planes maps etc. all available..
So one could say problem solved.
But i wonder what is the difference with the new mg_snd dlls ? Where will my game now be different. Will i be really online compatible or have strange problems ?
With other words: What has been changed with the mg_snd dlls ????

Any answer from Daidalos team ?
