Patch Troubles

[Stingray72]

Hi all!!

 

Since you have all been so helpful with getting me to enjoy this game series, I thought I would drop another one on y'all!!

 

I recently ditched Vista 64 and put an eval copy of Windows 7 for my operating system. It runs very smooth and fast, mods are up and going fine, no real issues. Well, almost...

 

When I try to patch, my game crashes. Any patch, that is, except the Oct 2008 one (service packs/patches, sorry, I'm an IL2 kid!). I have tried everyhting I know to do, including a "clean vanilla instal" as suggested by one of the super members (USAFMTL I think), and every time I load the game up, it crashes. The main screen will come up, but if I go from there it dumps. Also, the stick version for my disk is 9.24.04, so maybe I am beginning the patch install with the wrong one? I am starting at the p052506 one.

 

Any ideas? Thanks all!! you make this game fun and I wish I could repay, but alas, I can only bring you problems.....lol :)

Yes, install the latest DirectX user runtime (Dated March 2009).

I figured it out!!

 

The problem was in the sp051506.exe. There was a corrupt file somewhere, probably during the download since I re-downloaded it from the same site. I am all patched up and playing and am most excited!
