loading to 90% then doom

LW/JG10_subg · Post by **LW/JG10_subg** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 3:56 pm

This is a weird one that I have never had an issue with before.
I have flown 2 missions with no connection issues but since the mention of the updated PQ16 map correction (which i had not installed as it was then deemed unneccessary) I load to 90% humans and it sticks - when i move the curser the game freezes and usualy my whole machine needs a restart - maybe a coincidence.
I have joined other servers including the Illustrious campaign with no issues.
I was also able to load the Map when the server was online at 20:00GMT so I can join the server OK.
I can load the map but when the full mission is loaded I now have a big problem - For some reason this campaign does not like me anymore!!!
I have now downloaded the map fix (possibly will fix but others have had no problems flying on original PQ16 Mod?) and installed it direct to my IL2 folder as instructed hoping it may work but i am not very confident it will.
This is very frustrating.
Can anyone advise me on this issue.
I have never encountered this issue before.

Thanks

S!

1) Read this thread, might have something to help you:

2) Increase your Java VM memory allowance:

3) Reinstall the whole game

.. Always works

I would go for reinstall, start from scratch, painful but at least you will eliminate everything at once.

Yup. What I do is to always have backup copies of the different game versions (HDD space is practically free nowadays). If something goes wrong -> delete -> copy from backup.

Thanks chaps. I am running XP so fairly sure it is not Java thing.
I have everything backed up - just need to remember what the correct sequence is to get the game back to current.
Does anyone have a list for quick reference?

Also if this only happens on PQ16 campaign (which it seems to)
does this really make sense?

Thanks in advance

Different OS's don't matter in the Java memory consumption. As I have come to understand, IL-2 uses Java for running AI or sumsuch, and SEOW with it's heavy utilization of AIs both on ground and in air, uses lot's of memory through Java. So, increasing the max quota for Java VM doesn't hurt.

I believe it is:

1. Update you Il-2 1946 to 4.11
2. Go to http://www.242sqn.com/phpBB2/viewforum. ... ddad7c8060
3. Download and install HSFX 6.0
4. Dowload and install HSFX 6.0 Patch 1
5. Download and install HSFX Mod 6.0.11
8. Download and install Autoupdater

I think you should be in good shape after that.

Exellent many thanks for the assistance - i am not great with the technicals - hence my slowness!!!

I have sorted Java (I hope) followed instructions so that may help

I have just found a seperate folder with 4.11m unpatched to HSFX so this should save me alot of time

and I assume it will work as it is a full copied back up?

I will note the links you have posted for future reference etc etc. Hopefully I will load OK on Sunday and actually fly fingers crossed.

Try a different il2fb.exe.
You have different ones as allivans.rar under a document folder from hsfx

I have reinstalled and patched up to 4.11m then installed HSFX6 files then used the updater but as soon as I add files across from left to right on the JSGME the game will not launch. It is running off the Game DVD so maybe this is the issue now. Can anyone advise?
Does HSFX require a NOCD/DVD fix?
My previous version worked without DVD fine but cannot remember how I sorted it?
Sorry for all the fuss!!

Have you ?

Moved mods to left side of JSGME mods enabler before launching updater ? I think if you dont do that autoupdater is unable to overwrite files.

HSFX does not require DVD.

Remember after installing HSFX 6 you need to patch it with Patch 1 and only then run autoupdater.

Let me know how you getting on mate.

...

The autoupdater should automatically disable the Mods if active, so maybe is the lacking of patchwork 1....

OK, didn't make last night as I simply am having no joy with the History Mod.
I used a 4.10 game back up.
At each stage I tested game
Updated successfully to 4.11m with hotfix and all that.
When tested it runs fine (via DVD) and all seems well.
Installed the 6.0 HSFX and then went to test it and as soon as I send HSFX History Mod over to the right and try to launch the game it gives me egg timer for a few secs and then nothing.
If I move the stock 4.11 over to the right game will launch fine however so it seems to be a problem with the History Mod only.

I then reinstalled from a good 4.10, right through to autoupdater never putting any mods over to the right etc and same issue occured - no launch?

I have tried 2 different downloads of HSFX6 but maybe some files are corrupt although I get successful installs according to the general info?

And now my game that has so far been OK (apart from on PQ16) has started to stop in the late 80%s at Hyperlobby on "War over Europe" but currently works on "Spits v 109s" - so maybe it is a PC issue? or some kind of bug or root IL2 issue. I have been loading into SEOWS and Hyperlobby with no issues for 12 years now - weird and frustrating.
