Stingray72 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) 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 :) ~11th_AF_Taxman Edited August 18, 2009 by 11th_AF_Taxman Quote
+Fubar512 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, install the latest DirectX user runtime (Dated March 2009). Quote
Stingray72 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Posted August 22, 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! ~Tax Quote
