Honestly, I had no issues at all. Did you try the usual suspects, compatability mode, etc? I had a steam install when I upgraded and it was no issue at all.

That's a pretty n00bish error report. wink Could you be more specific about what is not working?

If you're having problems with the mouse freezing / disappearing, do the following:

-Right-click on the shortcut you use to start IL2
-Go to Properties
-Go to the Compatibility tab
-Check the box that says "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

Also, check that the resolution in your conf.ini matches your monitor display. Win10 does some screwy things with resolutions.

Did that.. no joy.. It says il2fb.exe stopped working nothing more.. The sim boots to the spash screen .. loads to around 50% then crashes with the above error message.. That's it...

Reinstall IL2?

I upgraded to W10 from W7 and everything works fine, no changes or tweaks needed.

Don't install IL2 to the Program Files or the Program Files (x86) folder.
Create a new folder on your C:drive called ... BearCat99Files or something.
Then move your IL2 games folder (all of it) into that.
Run game.

Try that.

Did you upgrade?

W10 upgrade behaves oddly when upgrading. It doesn't trust you and will often remove files it doesn't think are safe. Which would mean you are probably missing some core IL2 components. Which is why you are getting to 50% and stopping.

I had my IL2 installs on a totally separate drive. The W10 install went on my C drive.

You can take the entire install and copy/paste any where you want, I've been doing it for years but in an odd case I once had to install a fresh copy patch and then copy all my missions and skins over


Windows 10 Pro
Gigabyte 970A DS3P FX
AMD FX6300 Vishera 3.5 Ghz
ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 970 Overclocked 4 GB DDR5
16Gb Patriot Viper 3 RAM DDR3 1866Mhz
Onikuma Gaming Headset (has annoying blue lights I don't use)

BC,

Are you getting an error log? If you are, the folks at SAS might be able to help locate the problem.

The fact you are getting to 50% means the exe is looking for something and not finding it.

Thanks guys.. I will give SAS a shot.. It is so wierd because nothing changed.. as far as I know Win10 did not do anything to my other drives.. or it shouldn't have.. and it does not run in compatibility mode..

Cloyd.. not sure about the error log.. it just tells me that il2fb.exe stopped working.
