Nope the difficulty settings are where they always have been and I have used the 512 and the laa are off. Still doing it so went back to the original exe and back to normal. It seems to be on the sas30 and 301 both have done it. Tested all ways possible still same problem

I also have the antivirus alert about the exe but as I add it in the allow list I have no more warning!

For all the guys who have trouble I suggest to 'make presentation' between your antivirus and SAS exe!!!

All the best!

Exe disappearing here too...

Thanks for your effort

my exe isnt really dissappearing... i drop it in to the game folder, it gives me the il2fb.exe with the red star, i play it once then i exit out of the game and i exit out of the folder. then i go back to the folder, and the il2fb.exe thats there is the old exe (F4U Corsair .exe)! when i run that it gives me the stock 4.10.1. then i try to drop in the new .exe again and it says "This action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program". any fixes for this?

P.S. my task manager shows that nothing is running.....

EDIT: my il2 was hiding under programs in the taskbar.. and now my exe has stopped changing. but now for the classic mod version is crashing at 95%. everything elts is working perfectly

EDIT 2: i just made an entirely new copy with 2.72 installed, then i patched to 3.0 then 3.01, and everything is working like a clock... hmmmmmm.....

Modact 3.0 is without the selector, so I read that it happens if you use the Modact 3 (i.e. non-selector) exe's too? I'd recommend a clean reinstall of IL-2 then.

I also have the antivirus alert about the exe but as I add it in the allow list I have no more warning!

Yep thanks for the report, walter_solito.
The issue here is that the selector, in order to provide a crt=2 compatible online-session with stock IL-2 settings, has the No-CD stock il2fb.exe embedded which is known to trigger false positive alerts on a very few antivirus programs. Since this isn't the selector itself, but the indispensable stock No-CD exe, so we can't avoid that.

Exe disappearing here too...

The next update (CirX already announced it) will implement some further security check to avoid this situation. We can't avoid it for sure - hanging and crashing games are always prone to this ugly situation - but we'll try to limit this to as few occurances as possible.

Doesn't want to fit, eh? If you can't overwrite it, there will be an il2fb.exe process running in the task manager. I bet my mother's ass on this.

Scratch one - best idea in case of weird things and the final proof for something being messed up in the old installation.

*bump*

Regarding antivirus false positives, maybe virus signatures are outdated or some paranoiac settings for heuristics scan are active?
Please find the scan report on the selector here:

I use Kaspersky too, Security 2010 for the rest of the week, then I get the newer 2011 box by mail. Egal, it comes with a so called special Game Profile, tried that? I used it once with the BF2 Mod Forgotten Hope 2, it's one of the most notorious games I ran on my Vista, keeps crashing if an ant farts in china and it worked with that Gaming Profile.
That came with the 2010 edition as sth. new especially for Gamers.
Go to the system Tray Kasper icon, right klick open the suite, in the main window just below the x button go to settings. Scroll down to the tab settings, at the end you should see Game Profile, enable all hooks and see if it works for you.
And as for installing software on

But to be honest I'm an offliner, means I do what Gamebooster does, just analog, cut all plugs and connections, services running, Antivurus off and enjoy this cool Modact 3.0 and now 3.01 they work fine without my Kasper. Here I'd like to thank you Storebror for this handy Switcher, not to forget Mr. SAS~CirX and the whole development team of SAS and UP, as for me it works splendid. I use the recommended 512mb setting, game is fast like my cat Luzi. What's the best is the supersonic loading time, with the old install you could have eat a Bockwurscht and drink a can of coffee, Really enjoying it, no probs here, Thanks.

Will try the clean reinstall Thanks

If it's too much effort for you, you could as well want to wait for the next release which CirX already announced.
We have some new version in Beta test right now, with improved settings and, much more relevant to the frequent user, with security improvements which should get us rid of 99% of the situations where currently the il2fb.exe just disappears.

Add to that for TrackIR users who are facing trouble now, there should be improvements, too.

We just have to get that thing tested on a couple of different systems before releasing it.

Best regards - Mike

[SAS~CirX]

thats right, and I am hope it is OK to release tomorrow. if in the meantime anyone here who already has 3.01 in, wants to help us testing the newer selector, please PM me.
