So I read that IL-2 CLOD was getting pretty good with the Team Fusion mods and - being a WW2 fan - I bought the DVD from Amazon. After going through many hoops with Steam (I apparently had an old account I forgot about) I got a new account setup, and Steam finally said I was ready to install CLOD. The DVD would spin for about 10 seconds and the installer then started an endlessly increasing "time to install" estimate, in other words the installation had stopped cold.

I have tried running as Administrator, tried installing directly to C: drive, turned off UAC and Windows Defender - all with the same result. What is worse, Steam now says that I have CLOD installed! Has anybody faced this problem, or have any ideas on what to do? I am getting pretty fed up with Steam at this point, because to request tech support they want me to set up yet another account with different username and password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If Steam says you have CloD installed, then click on it to try launching it - it will either launch or start a download to grab all the latest patches.

You don't need to install the game from the DVD, as once you register the game with your Steam account, Steam will download and install the latest version for you (that's not including the TF mod patches, that you will have to install yourself).

Yes theres nothing on the DVD IIRC except a steam installer. Your best bet is the ATAG forum, where all things CoD are known.
Theres a new Team Fusion CoD patch due out any day now...

Thanks for both your replies and you are right of course. I finally realized that the DVD does not load the game - first time I have experienced that. The game IS now downloaded from Steam and runs fine. The version is 1.11.20362 - can you confirm that this is the latest official version?

Next come the TF mods, do you know how many have been issued?

Johnost, I went through the EXACT same thing as you, but ATAG (great bunch of peeps over there) will help you out and they have links to tutorial vids on how to set the Team Fusion patches up!! Also, one thing I noticed is I updated my drivers and after that no more micro stutters on ClOD(if you have that problem after the installation that is)!! Good luck!!
