Please help. No success trying to upgrade for 4.10.1
« on: December 24, 2011, 08:47:41 AM »

Gentlemen

I am currently with a 4.09m version of SAS mod 2.2 (without UP 2.01) that is working just fine.

However, in order to keep up with all the progress made by tha SAS community I´ve tried to upgrade for 4.10.1 version.

First I installed the 4.10 and 4.10.1 packs over my 4.09m version. When the game is loading it just freezes at 95%.

Then I reinstalled a fresh straight from the box Il-2 1946 game, put the pacthes 4.07, 4.08, 4.09m in chronological order and tested for. It was working fine as well.

Over that brand new installation I put the packs 4.10 and 4.10.1 and now the game crashes at 60%.

I´ve read the topic about 5%, 60%, 70% crashes as recomended but still have no clue. The fact is I haven´t put any new planes in the MOD folder yet. It just has MAPMODS, STD and XTD folders inside it, so I wouldn´t expect any conflicts between air.ini and planes missing...

Could someone give me a hand on this? What am I missing??

Thanks in advance

Possible that there is a coruption with one of the patches . Try clean install then start the game if all ok install patches one at a time starting the game every time you install a patch to see which patch is causing the problem then re download the patch that causes the problem  ;D.

Thank you for trying to help.

I just tried another 4.10 and 4.10.1 download, but I still have crashes at 60%. :(

It seems I am stuck with the 4.09.

Hopefully we still have Epervier... :)

Have you tried the Megapatch from M4T (I think, do a search). It takes you from clean install to 4101 in one big leap! Should make your day.

4.10 is well known as the big mod-killer. Modders here and elsewhere had hell's time trying to make mods, which work perfectly with 4.09, compatible with 4.10. So my advice would be: try to install 4.10 over a clean un-modded 4.09 version, better fresh installed and patched in a different folder (reinstalling the game into the old folder can sometimes lead to conflicts with undeleted mod files).

Yes guys, I started from a fresh install of the game + 4.07+4.08+4.09m. Until here everything was fine and the game was running OK.

Then I patched over all this the 4.10 + 4.10.1 and now it crashes at 60%.

Yes it´s a non modded version which runs in another folder (different from the 4.09 version that works) and no I did not try the megapack that gives me all versions altogether.

Thanks for the advice anyway.

Texx,
On a clean install of the game, right up to 4.10.1 you shouldn't have a mods/mapmods/std/xtd folder, did you add them after installing the 4.10.1 patch? If so then that's probably the problem ie the game is reading the ini files from the STD/XTD folders and cannot find the corresponding objects/planes etc causing the 60% crash. I'd suggest installing a clean installation up to 4.10.1 (making sure it works) then make a copy of the whole installation and keep it elaswhere as a "base" for future use, then download the modpack (ModAct, DBW or UP) of your choice and install. If you don't want a modpack but just individual mods, then that's fine but you have to have the correct file structure, and coming to terms with that can be a bit daunting at first, till you get the hang of things  ;)

Hope this helps

Cheers

Goanna

Many thanks for all of you!!

I reinstalled a fresh version of Il-2 1946 and downloaded the 4.10.1 megapack form m4today! It works just fine!

Now I have the Modact 3.06 which also works very well.

Again thank you for the tips.

ALl the best
