Hi- after opening the sim starts to load and goes through its paces and no matter if opening a Campaign, Quick Combat, etc. it will hang up at the screen where it displays 'Loading...'. I deleted all pilots and set defaults back to original... no joy. Well, I'll just download the newest 4.23-4242 version but it does the same. Would anybody be willing to coach me through this hiccup? 'Hand holding' is probably going to be needed, too, because I really don't understand computer stuff very much so forewarned is forearmed! I would be willing to bribe for help, too! Thanks in advance.

Reinstall, there's a step by step guide section 17 of the WOFF FAQ.

if this happens during the brown load screen like just before you would jump into cockpit then yes I have noticed this too since the update and using Reload.
I have found that by using task manager to exit Woff & cfs3 and then restarting works ok.

I have found the same issue recently, and am using the task manager like Lederhosen.

Mine just hangs at that same spot even after exiting, shutting down computer then re-starting. I've gone through all files to try and find and delete every last vestige of WOFF. I even removed TrackIR. I might go back to a re-install of 'Between Heaven and Hell' game if possible so I can play something. It's just gotta be sump'n I'm not doing properly but thank y'all very much!

Wondering if a recent Windows update has done something evil. Anyone else here still on Windows 7?

I don't know the answer but..Are any of you using Reshade? Me and Chief are having a similar issue on WOTR..hangs at the runtime screen. I'm also having water texture issues on WOFF if the files used in the blue triangle fix mod/JJJ,S Me last option regarding HQ,Q,B+,P or HP (The 2 budgets.xml files) get used on my machine..it's a definite headscratcher guys.

Not using Reshade. The load problem started for me last Wednesday or Thursday, and I've made no hardware or software changes other than letting Win 7 install updates, so I'm reluctant to do a new WOFF UE install. I'm thinking of doing a Windows restore to a point a couple of weeks ago and see what happens.

Cheers Raine..Blades just mentioned he gets the same issue over on the WOTR forum. Just seems random that some of us have it (either on WOFF or WOTR) and it seems a lot don't or they'd be posting their issues here aswell?

I use Windows 7, but updates are disabled.

Adger, do you have problems with blue triangle mod? If so, let me know that, I will look into it.

Thanks Triple J,it's really strange..i don't know how or why it happens but I think I narrowed it down to the triangle mod. (BTFPS)fix. The water looks like glass I see waves but with black lines that are definitely out of place. Every other texture everywhere is fine but surely if this was a common issue more people would have posted.. Anyway if you can find anything it,d be appreciated.

Just wanted to add I'm absolutely certain it's a issue from my end..not your mod or certainly any OBD files/patch ..Hope you other guys get sorted with the loading issue sorry if I've gone OT.

Following Pols advice I Downloaded the .Bat file from WALLYS link to Ubeogeh,s thing.. ,ive virus checked it using Kaspersky and Malware checked it with IO Malware fighter and its all clean. And it worked,the .bat changes the gameux.dll to gameux.dll Ubeogesh in WIndows\sysWOW64(64bit win) it also knows if you have 32bit windows and renames the file accordingly.

Ive also noticed at least at my end the game loaded quicker,i made a backup of the original gameux.dll in case of any future hiccups but so far so good..Cheers Pol and a big thanks to Wallysworld for the link. thumbsup

Great Adger, let's hope it works for others.

Thanks to Wallysworld for finding that - strange thing - don't rememeber seeing any notes on that from MS but maybe they altered something else that affects it.
