so when i try and start up il2 it shows the splash screen for a split second then the game crashes,  i used a startup debugger to see what the problem is and the error read
"picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx256m error occurred during initialization of vm incompatible minimum and maximum heap sizes specified"
i don't know what any of this means so i just assumed it was a java error and i have no clue how to fix this so if anyone knows anything that might help please feel free to share cause i have had this problem for months and it is driving me crazy not being able to play my favorite flight sim and i will try anything to fix it.

What is your PC specs and OS ?

 - CPU name
 - Memory size GB
 - Graphics card or chip name
 - Windows what? 32bit or 64bit?

Does stock game (before installing SASModAct5.30) run well ?

[polimoskilos18]

my CPU is an AMD FX-6200
i have a 10GB RAM
my chip is an AMD 970 and my graphics card is a Eyefinity Radeon HD 7570
windows 10 64bit
and without any mods the game runs perfectly but awhile ago i could use any modact and it worked fine but this problem occurred recently

Please update to the latest Selector:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16403.0.html
Run IL-2 Selector.exe once and save your settings.
Then try to run il2fb.exe again.

If it still crashes, please show a screenshot with the full message from startup debugger and please show us the contents of your initlog.lst file.
Last but not least, when using Windows 10 please consider to run the game in Compatibility Mode for XP/Vista/7.

Best regards - Mike

Ok so i updated the il2 selector still crashed and i tried running the game in compatibility and still nothing i took screenshots of the debugger but you cant read any of it so i just copied and pasted it

I'm not an expert about Steam but the first thing you should try is to copy the wole game in a new folder, like your root (C:), anyway outside Program files and steam

[polimoskilos18]

well that did something, when i stared it up the splash screen was there for about 10 seconds before it crashed

[OberstDanjeje]

In this case I should try to reapply the modact, you know, in case steam xhanged some files

[polimoskilos18]

il give it a try thx

[polimoskilos18]

well we where close but that did not solve the problem but i rly do appreciate all the help and support every little thing helps

[SAS~Storebror]

Now that you can see the splashscreen, the startup debugger output should have changed.
What's the error shown there?

Best regards - Mike

[polimoskilos18]

well the splash screen is doing the same thing as before now and the debugger says the same thing
