Hi all, I've just got a new desktop with Windows 11.  I've managed to install as far as the Il2 46 screen that should let me launch the game but no further (using original CD).  Can anyone help?  I have searched on here and more generally on Google, so sorry if I'm a bit dumb.   

[Toobone]

Don't be dumb, Emken67

Hi Toobone, what is the relevance of the second link that you have added?  It seems to be just about graphical issues rather than problems with installing and launching in Win 11.

[Frankiek]

Windows11 has no problems with Il2 it must be something specific for your setup

Hi Toobone, what is the relevance of the second link that you have added?  It seems to be just about graphical issues rather than problems with installing and launching in Win 11.

If the original screen appears, it means that the game starts loading, but then something prevents it from finishing. The second link is not about graphics only, it's about conf.ini in general. If something is incorrectly specified there, there may be a failure. In any case, you need to switch on the game log* record in conf.ini.
*- by default it named Log.lst, in IL2 community we as usual called it Sturmo.log
PS: sometimes the conf.ini settings have a tendency to change without warning even after any action on the computer not directly related to IL2.

Thx, I'll go check.  This is a clean install on a brand new PC, so I hope it will be fairly easy to sort.

Any ideas?

[UberDemon]

Maybe post the entire log using the code option "#"

Like this...

[Frankiek]

it s however clear that you have a CTD when IL-2 starts to play the introduction track I would suggest for you to disable this feature. Open conf.ini go to the [game] section and use Intro=0 then save.

You are running IL-2 with your integrated graphic and open GL and is very likely that your PC runs short of resources. You could try to use Directx instead of OpenGL and for sure you need to tone down the settings in conf.ini. forgetting about perfect mode and using texture compression. Please go here to get familiar with the settings: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=9756.0

You should try to get the stock game running before attempting to launch any mod version.

Thank you, i will try this.
