You should have posted this under the Technical Issues thread up above for OBD to see this quicker.

Could be lots of reasons, but probably no DirectX 9 installed. See the WOFF BH&H II FAQ section 2A. Also see https://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads....ging-on-first-run-of-the-day#Post4479133Otherwise, we'd need all the log files etc as per the last 2 pages of the WOFF BH&H II FAQ (see web support page) sending to Support via email.

That's good to hear that WOFF BH&H II worksnow. In the future, if you ever have to do a full re-install WOFF BH&H II again from the beginning, it is not necessary to install MSCFS3. The WOFF will run without it.

Hello
Thanks for the thorough explanation. For now, I have a working system and I am happy about it. My mistake was that I named the game WOFF II - the correct name is WoFF BH&H 2
However, I was surprised that there is no need to install CFS 3.
As I found out, the game had many modifications:
1. OFF1 2. OFF2 3. OFF3 4. OFF3 BH&H 5. WOFF1 6. WOFF2 7. WOFF3 8. WOFF PE 9. WOFF UE 10 WOFF BH & H2
As Panama Red wrote: "IIRC, items 1-7 required you to install CFS3 on your PC, because the mod used some of the CFS3 game. Starting with item 8 to 10 you only have to own a copy of CFS3 for legal purposes since this technically a mod of CFS3 and this keeps Micro $ oft off OBD's backs ”.
As a new client who didn't know the whole story, I had the right to get lost.
However, on the official websites of WOFF, I read that "some players use CFS 3 downloaded from generally available or free websites. It's not recommended, but it supposedly works. " So now I have on my PC (for legal purposes?) a free, free but unnecessary simulator from World War II.
Okay, you don't want to eat. Let him lie down.
greetings

You put that phrase in quotes to suggest it's word-for-word off the website, but we did not say it like that, and do not say you need to install it. Yes that was from when it was needed it to allow WOFF to install, which is no longer required - so I will remove it anyway. Also just above that section we say in bold: NOTE: You are required to own Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 so you own a license legally. CFS3 disk is no longer physically required to install or play WOFF UE, PE, or BH&H II. There is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document that goes over exactly how to install and what is required. It's available on the same page you read about the requirements. https://www.overflandersfields.com/index_html_files/FAQ_WOFF_BH&HII.pdf

Dropping to desktop usually means memory issue or CPU overheat. See the FAQ section 6
Also try setting CSF3.exe and WOFF.exe to run as an administrator.
from section 17 of the FAQ:
13. For some Windows 10 users, try setting compatibility of WOFF.exe and CFS3.exe to Windows 7 SP1, or Windows 8/ 8.1. To do this go to your WOFF install folder, find WOFF and CFS3 executables. Right click on CFS3.exe and choose Properties, Compatibility, then under ‘compatibility mode’ section select/tick the box to “Run this program in compatibility mode”. Choose windows 7 for example, and click Apply, OK. Test, if it doesn’t help try setting to Windows 8 instead, or try the same setting on WOFF.exe. 14. if the steps in 13. do not work then undo the compatibility setting, but also try setting them to “run this program as an Administrator” instead from that compatibility tab, and click Apply, OK and test again.
