Hi Cheech,

1. Just wondering if this similar to the problem when IL-2 is updated / modded in the Program Files folder. Have you tried it in a folder outside of the Windows "system" folders?

2. Do the downloads check out against the reference file (in the initial post I believe) ?

Cheers
Matz

the folder is in my documents mate or do you mean like save the vp files to like my documents thay all go hear C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\ should i change that

Do you know how to use the sfv files to verify the integrity of your downloaded files?

SFV files to check for errors:

What we need to do first is to exclude the possibility of corrupted downloads.

Second is to ensure that the right software is used for extraction.

It will work fine. Do run the mega patch as instructed. There's missing stuff from the steam install that's in the mega patch

Missing?

I wasn t aware of anything missing.

Regards.

IIRC, there are some files that are missing from download versions that the patch restores. I don't recall which ones or what they are. I have had issues modding the steam version that I don't seem to have after running the patch. So, I run the patch. If it's not necessary for the steam version, swell. Otherwise, it's cheap insurance to keep from having issues.

Thanks for the tip on copying the steam IL2 folder to make multiple copies. Wasn't sure that would work.
