Help with Il-2 1946

[yubba]

It seems that I'm in the right place, it seems to be a pretty active thread, I've been blessed to have a good freind {Castout} he was good enough to send me IL 2 1946 new in the box, but I'm havimg the darnness time loading it, to run correctly. What I have so far, it's loaded, I had to change the config file title from forgotten battles to 1946, I got it patched to 4.08m had a heck of a time getting that download without it being corrupted one way or another, and the only way I can start the game is from inside the game folder, if I load game dvd in player it wants to install, while the game has already been install, and if I try to start from desktop game locks up after intro, this is more messed up than a bag of hammers.

Maybe compatability mode if you have vista or 7?? I didnt have to do that but you might have to? Mines run perfectly fine, try downloading the patches from Mission4today you have to sign up but its a safe site and theyre all there too.

There shouldn't be any problem imo. They are of the same engine so the requirement must be the same.

If pacific fighters did run okay I would think 1946 will too just fine.

Well I got my fingers crossed, found my lucky rubber band, detoured around acouple of black cats, haven't looked in a mirror, I guess, I got it running, the trouble with modding is never knowing what straw will break the camels back, I finally got the TBM to fly, now I'm chasing missions for, which I saw in, mission 4 today, even flew the B 17 it was all in the, v4.08 MODS megapack v1.0, I'm doing all this in the middle of a thunderstorm how stupid can I get. oh all most forgot that mod has some corrupted files in the mods and backup files. so don't load backup file and copy files from mods to a new folder one at a time till you find a bad one.
