Hey!

Annoying new guy question here.

I´ve already been through pages on various websites, including this one. Tried everything suggested and more - still no luck.

Was playing Il2 back when I was a kid, and its time to get playing again. I had it on Steam, worked just fine on last PC.

Now, new PC and it doesnt work.

Tech -
Windows 11 Home 64bit
4060ti
32GB RAM
M2 1TB
i5 14400K

Problem:
Click on "Start" in steam, nothing happens except the button changes colour in attempt to load, then reverts back as if it has not loaded. Nothing opens.

Tried:
DEP,
Resolution,
Boot as admin
Boot in compatability mode
DEP totally disabled.


Bit annoyed, as ive got a fancy new joystick coming, and wanted to test it out with IL2 1946.


Suggestions welcome.

Thanks

I had a similar problem a while ago, one of the 2 dlls (msvcr71.dll or msvcp71.dll, I can't remember) had disappeared.
I went to look for it in one of my backups, and that solved the problem.
Look this way.

Thanks, I have both those files still.

Copy the entire game folder to someplace other than the steamapps folder, and NOT to a Program Files folder. Maybe. Someplace like C:\Games

Thanks for the suggestion, moved to a different drive and no change

Please check Windows Event Viewer (Application branch) for any occurrence of "il2fb.exe" related entries.

Your IL2 shortcut is still pointing to your Steam install. Change the properties of the shortcut or create a new shortcut to point to your relocated install.

[sonitec]

Yeah, I deleted it all and redownloaded again.

anyway,

moved again to a sepearte drive, and this comes up still



booted using the application and not steam.

[SAS~Storebror]

As expected.
Code 0xc0000005 (access violation) at offset 0x000b08b0.
100% definitely sure: The cause is DEP.
Go back to https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,71235.0.html and adjust DEP settings again.
Obviously something went wrong when you tried to do so before.

P.S.: Same thing happened here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,72556.msg789833.html#msg789833

[sonitec]

[sonitec]
