Seaflanker, Make sure you follow all 4 steps and turn AA back "on". "The first time through (after the above fixes to #4) I was able to get all the way to clicking "Start Mission" and then it crashed again. I realized I had turned off Antialiasing. Once I turned it back "on" everything worked great."

New Player Question: I bought BOS, BOM, BOK and a few other additions on Steam before I realized I should have bought everything through the store here. I contacted Steam to get the keys to link here and get the associated badges. Here's the message I received: How are folks linking their Steam purchases to get the respective badges?

Very interested if this is still happening on Wednesdays.

Right place, right time. (Caught at 40 knots)

This worked for me so I figured I'd share it incase anyone else has similar trouble. What it fixed? IL-2 crashes on startup with ReShade 4.1.1 installed with DirectX 10+.

Anyone have any ideas how to keep the game from crashing on startup with ReShade 4.1.1 installed? I'm selecting DirectX 10+ when installing.

No luck so far. I tried going to 3.1.0 and it still does the same thing.

I'm still new to IL and just came across topics that mention a game launcher vs steam. I've been entirely on Steam, as have been most of my purchase; not realizing there was a difference. Are there different servers when using the game launcher vs steam? Would I need to re-purchase everything if not using Steam?

How do I disable antialiasing if I can't get into the game and access the Reshade menu?

I just installed ReShade 4.1.1., but nothing comes up when I hit "Shift+F2" as the instructions state. I selected OpenGL since DirectX3d 10+ caused crashes even with Antialiasing on. Any idea? https://reshade.me/forum/general-discussion/2501-reshade-3-0-guide-for-newcomers

I just downloaded and installed 4.1.1, but now I get crashes prior to the first load screen. The screen will resize to my in-game resolution, flashes black like its going to the first loading screen and then goes back to my desktop resolution and home screen. Any ideas how to fix it. I tried deleting the associated files, but that didn't work.

Thanks for the replies!

Just to confirm, if you buy BoBp now the aircraft that done are available to fly in Steam too?
