I cannot get DBW Build 1.0 to load.  I have a vanilla version (from the CD) of IL-2 patched to 4.10.1 with UP 3.0 plus hot fixes and patches installed,  I have tested this version and it runs fine.  This particular copy of IL-2 is located in the C: drive (not within the Program Files folder) I believe I have followed SAS-Cirx's installation instructions to the letter.  To launch I click on the selector and choose DBW.  The DBW splash screen displays for approximately one second then it CTD.  I have not yet made any attempt to install DBW Build 1.1. What am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any help or suggestions as I am anxious to fly DBW.

have you disabled UP3 in jsgme?

I had a problem. After installing DBW, it showed up as an option executabble selector, but would not start. I couldn't even see a 5% ctd. I know I was unsure about the directions to get rid of all the il2fb.exe files in the jsgme folder. What I did was to unselect all the jsgme files. Then I searched the jsgme folder and deleted the several .exe files that were associated with #UP.# The next instruction which was unsure about was the new il2fb.exe file that went in the game folder. If I remember correctly, when I installed the DWB folders (all were there) I think the old exe file had disappeared.
After the initial failure to start, I tried various combinations of the DBW files in jsgme. I disabled all the UP files in jsgme, etc.
The installation steps I took were as follows.
1. Vanilla copy of 409m built up step by step to UP_3ORC3. Checked jsgme files for UP.exe files and deleted.
Downloaded and installed -DBW_BUILD_1.0.7z which all components showed up in the game folder(does the"-" mean it's disabled?).
After a day trying various ways to start DBW, I deleted and rebuilt 2 copies of UP3.
Any ideas?

[SAS~CirX]

Perhaps you can post your own thread instead of hijacking a thread where i am trying to help someone else?

And I haver never seen a file called -DBW_BUILD_1.0.7z . The 1.0 download was called DARK_BLUE_WORLD_BUILD_1.0.7z.

1.0 download is anyway not existing anymore, only the 1.1 super . you go directly from UP3 to 1.1 now.

Sorry I transgressed. My thinking was that if similar problems were clumped it would be easier. I'll sin no more.

Thanks Cirx
Your post above alerted me to the fact that  DBW 1.0 is no longer and DBW 1.1 can be loaded directly onto IL-2 4.10.1 updated to UP3 OR3.  I  have attempted todo this but am still having problems. However I think it would be appropriate that I start a new thread setting out my DBW 1.1 woes. Hope you can help me.

[SAS~CirX]

OK, just continue in this thread. Get your UP3 game working perfectly. Then disable UP3 in jsgme.

make sure youve gotten rig of all DBW stuff if you work in the same install. But forsafety, try it all out first on a backup install.

Then re-download the full part 1 and 2(super) of DBW Build 1.1. Use ONLY 7zip to unpack it. I sortof think you have a corrupted download there, it sounds like some SFS files are missing.

As you said, you dont need 1.0 anymore, it is obsolete. Dump it (I think your download is corrupted anyway)

The problem:   Using the game selector to load DBW 1.1 the splash screen loads to 5% then crashes back to the game selector.  Game selector loads 4.10.1 when Stock Game is selected.

I hope the following information will give some clues as to where I may be going wrong.

OS: Windows 7 32 Bit
Unzip Software: 7zip
Location of game: C:/Ubisoft/IL-2 1946

Installation sequence:
Vanilla version  of game from CD, patched to 4.10.1 and tested.
UP_3.0RC, UP_3.0RC2 and UP_3.0RC3 loaded using 7zip ( UP_3.ORC originally downloaded using uTorrent)
When UltraPack 3 is selected in the game selector the game loads as version 4.10.1 with the standard IL-2 splash screen. Does this indicate that UP3 has not installed correctly, i.e should the splash screen change to a UP3 screen?
DBW 1.1, parts 1 & 2 downloaded and unzipped using 7zip to C:/Ubisoft/IL-2 1946.
No JSGME mods enabled ( looking at the IL-2 1946 game files the jsgmemods folder contains 11 DBW mods and the #UP#_Enable_UP3.0 mod. There is no JSGME folder located within the game, my JSGME folder icon is located on the desktop and does not contain any of the DBW mods or the #UP#_Enable_UP3.0 mod.)
QuickQMBPro deleted from Missions folder.
Question:  Does DBW 1.1 contain the latest SAS Offline Buttons?

I hope I have provided enough information for those of you who are more computer savvy than I to point me in the right direction. Thanks

5% is a mising SFS file, as I said in the previous thread you started about this.

When UltraPack 3 is selected in the game selector the game loads as version 4.10.1 with the standard IL-2 splash screen. Does this indicate that UP3 has not installed correctly, i.e should the splash screen change to a UP3 screen?

Did you Activate UP3 with jsgme before launching it with the selector?

( looking at the IL-2 1946 game files the jsgmemods folder contains 11 DBW mods and the #UP#_Enable_UP3.0 mod. There is no JSGME folder located within the game, my JSGME folder icon is located on the desktop and does not contain any of the DBW mods or the #UP#_Enable_UP3.0 mod.)

So, is there or is there not a jsgmemods folder in this installtion we are discussing?

And perhaps the shortcut on your desktop is pointing at some other folder somewhere? or is the actual folder on your desktop? in which case, no wonder it wont work, nothing is getting installed to it and it has zero effect on your game install.

QuickQMBPro deleted from Missions folder.

WHY??

Question:  Does DBW 1.1 contain the latest SAS Offline Buttons?

yes, it says so in the readme.

Dude, it sounds like your installations are a big mess. I would nto even know where to start asking the right questions, and I am not sure you would be able to answer them correctly. I dont even know exaclt what DBW patches you are working with, you deleted your Missionpro folder, that sounds like an install instruction fo an old DBW update...so I am clueless about what you have.

Perhaps, lets start with the basics: tell us the names of the 7zip files you are using for DBW.

But before that, get your UP3 working properly first. If you bothed that install, then nothing you can ever do with DBW will fix it. Get that working properly first, then we can move on.

So the next you post here, should be to say you have sorted your UP3 isntall out (with the help of UP3 forum if help is needed). Then let us know what the names are of the 7zip files you have from DBW that you plane to use.

and then we can move on one step at a time.

[SAS~CirX]

and also, show us a screenshot of the contents of this install of yours, so I can see what files are there or not. Preferably a screenshot that shows the sizes of files also. And a screenshot of the SAS_DBW folder contents in this install also please.

[Kookaburra]

Thanks Cirx.  I will concentrate on getting UP3 installed correctly and will come back to you when I have that sorted. Cheers

[Kookaburra]

Cirx.  The game folder has a jgsmemods folder which contains 9 DBW mods and the #UP#_Enable_UP3.0 mod
