Am I the only one with those crashes ?? I feel like this the biggest pile of sh..t I experienced in a long time. It crashes left and right always for a different reason. Are developers looking into this ??

No, dude, you are not the only one. I have my pile of sh..t as well. Still thinking why I got premium version....could save some cash. :-(
Developers just don't give a sh..t for those failures. They got your and my money....no refund policy. Why bother, right?!

Most of my issues went away when I used the oldest driver I could find on the Nvidia site.

[Pif-Paf]

Sorry for a flood of complaints. I found the cause of my crashes in my new memory DIMMs. memtest86 reveled one stick was buggy with 1 bit activating on its own (test #6 showed the problem, other tests passed just fine). Windows memory diagnostics didn't find it that made me believe the memory was fine.

Since I bought the game together with new GTX 1070 and new memory, I had no good reference point. Today I can confirm IL2 3.002c with Nvidia drivers 397.31 works no problem. No crashes since I removed buggy memory module.

• When you encountered the crash;

in combat, WoL server

• In what game mode (MP/QMB/campaign/scenario);

Multiplayer, Dogfight

• In what mission;

malayazemlya43k-wl-301-03n

• What did you do before the crash;

Joined a larger furball

• What happened in the mission before the crash;

Nothing in particular, just lots of planes around

• Additional info you think is relevant to the crash.

In the past few days I've been getting screen freezes in the same situation: joining a larger aircraft fight in the vicinity, with about a dozen aircraft or more. Screen frozen, Audio was still working fine. I heard my aircraft pick up speed and crash into the ground, the server picked up the crash. Those freezes started around the Win10 1803 update.

I normally use MSI afterburner. Today I didn't use afterburner and default GPU settings, and I got this crash instead of the usual freeze about 50 minutes in, while in a big flock of aircraft. I restarted the game again, but turned on afterburner and then it was a screen freeze after just about 10 minutes (again, while in a larger air battle, and in same server and mission).

When I encountered crash: After clicking on Exit button from career (or quick mission and multiplayer) to main screen, the game crashes to desktop.

 

Game mode: Career, (also occurs on quick mission and multiplayer)

 

Mission: Escort ground attack aircraft mission in career. 

 

What happened in mission: I flew the mission and completed the mission then landed at airfield. Finished mission

 

Additional information: The zip file here was the latest crash dump and it occurred after a career mission. I also have crashes to desktop after exiting a career, quick or multiplayer mission.

                                          Crashes have also occurred while mission is loading.

I bought Flying Circus Vol. 1 Yesterday. Every time I start up from steam, I get a blue screen of death either when I select the SPAD XIII or the Fokker DR1 in the Quick Missions. It has happened as soon as I hit start, after flying for a few minutes, and while in the IL-2 Main settings screen. I don't have this issue in RoF, or in DCS,, so I'm pretty sure it is related to BoS.

 

I'm running Windows 7 with 32BB RAM and an NVDA GTX 1080 Video card with 8GB of VRAM, and up to date driver. I received the following message:

I'm ignorant of Windows. I run Win 7 in Boot Camp on my Mac Pro 2010 Hex-Core, and have never had a BSOD in my 6 years of using Win 7 in Boot Camp.

 

As I said, I've tested a number of sims

 

I tried to attach the minidump jiles, but was told I didn't have access.

 

UPDATE: I just started BoS on VR through Steam  and flew in VR for about an hour with no BSOD. I flew the Spitfire Mk IX, the SPAD XIII, and the Fokker DR1 with no issues. That sort of tells me that the issue is with starting through the IL-2 game site, and is not an issue if I start through Steam VR.

My game crashes straight to desktop frequently, both on and offline, while flying. It seems to only crash in game, not in menus. Not yet at least. Here is the lastest crash:

 

Il-2.exe.15840.rar

[w_ar]

Since about June, the game starting freezing / CTD

 

Configuration: Windows 10, VR (HTC Vive), i7-8790K, GTX1080Ti, T.16000M HOTAS, Medium Settings

 

Interestingly, crashes only happen in Multiplayer and Career mode, never in Quick Missions and Scripted Campaigns.

 

Activated Error Reporting in Windows - will report back after the next crash.

 

Memory, CPU and Graphics Card are checked throughly with stress testing tools - no failures.

 

What can I do?

 

Edit (Oct 16):

My crash problems escalated to frequent BSODs, either with the error code SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED or similar exceptions. I could finally trace this down to a WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT (I run Windows 10, mind you...) and then identify the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) with its accompanying drivers as the culprit. Purging the system of any trace of Logitech drivers seems to have solved the problem for now (and, as it happens, I bought and installed a new Logitech mouse & keyboard in June, which also fits to the start of the troubles).

 

Over the last few days, I could  finish several Blazing Steppe missions and even continue a few Career mission without as much as a crash to desktop.Curiosly, frame rates have improved as well.

 

So, for those of you who have the LGS software running, uninstalling it and killing all remaining drivers with the pnputil command line tool if necessary might fix your problem. Give it a try (but back up any Logitech gaming profiles you might have created in case it doesn't fix your crash issues).

 

P.S.: As a sidenote for all those who have the annoying "breathing effect" on the Logitech keyboard and/or mouse coming back every time the computer restarts, this is how I got rid of it:

1. Open the Logitech Gaming Software and disable the breathing effect.

2. Now kill the LGS using the Task Manager

3. Uninstall LGS from your system.

Problem solved

[SquashmanMikeEH]

I get game freeze whenever I press keys for  the following key bindings -

Show/Hide entire HUD

Show/Hide Instrument Panel

Aiming Help

 

Tested in SP (QMB & Scripted Campaign)

 

From the screen freeze I have to exit via Windows Task-Manager and restart game.

 

I have graphic settings at near maximum but have tried turning all graphics settings way, way down - No difference!

 

I have tried Administrator + compatibility mode (for my system - Windows 7) - No difference!

 

My PC specs are; Nvidia 1080, 16 Gb RAM, i7 4.8Gb, Liquid cooling etc - so it should be able to handle the load.

 

The freezes happen both with VR (Oculus Rift CV1) and with Trackir.

I also get screen-freeze when not using any head tracking or VR, but just using pan-view from the stick hat.

 

All settings are Ultra + max

Frame rates are high throughout at Target rate - ie. steady 60+

Gameplay is good quality and smooth, until I press one of the above mentioned keys - then complete freeze.

 

Edit 

All the above occurs with HUD selected to be shown as default - if I de-select HUD as default, the game plays normally and I can switch the above mentioned service commands on and off without getting the screen freeze.

Don't know if this is normal or a bug - hope this information helps.

Encountered a flight of 4 Pe-2 (not sure if ser. 35 or 87) - started to attack and 1 to 2min after attacking the game just freezes.

The game always crashes when it tries to load into a server.

I have tried to reinstall the game at least 4 times.


Version 3.006

Il-2.exe.1.dmp.rar

[Redglyph]

Crash to desktop, during a career mission, it's not the first time it happens.

 

IL-2 version 3.006, win7 x64, GTX 980 Ti (nVidia driver version 397.93)

 

Note: I had to rename the .7z to .7zip for this to be uploaded here.

 

When you encountered the crash

During the flight, when executing the mission

In what game mode (MP/QMB/campaign/scenario)

Career mission

What did you do before the crash

Just after bombing a target with a Bf-109 G2, on Kuban map.

I think I had just switched on the instrument panel and labels a few seconds earlier, to get confirmation of the planes close by.

I ran the same mission 3 times,

- the first time I bombed the target and no problem, I restarted because I did something silly too close to the ground,

- with the 2nd tentative my engine apparently quit during take-off even though I was only at 2500 RPM and 1.2 ATA, my gauges in the green,

- the 3rd had this crash.

 

Career settings are: speed realistic, mission starts on RWY, difficulty moderate, density scattered, I'm usually not displaying the instrument panel, nor labels, map, ...

The graphics options are set to maximum, in 1920x1080.

 

There are many targets on the road, and enemy aircraft protecting them, so the environment may be more loaded than average, but nothing excessive, no apparent slow-down of the framerate.

I am getting a LOT of CTDs as of late...I never got them on my older pc that had an amd r9 280 but on my new pc I have an rx 580 but it just randomly crashes it seems...

B~

[SAS_Storebror]

When I built my new rig two weeks ago, it started with random crashes too.

Long story short, dismantled everything again, cleaned all PCIe slots from dust and sealed the old GPU's contacts with "Kontakt 61", put new thermal grease between CPU and cooler (even though the 1st attempt looked great after dismantling it) and.... lo and behold, 10° lower temps on the CPU and no CTDs anymore so far.

Try deleting your startup.cfg in "iL-2 sturmovik/data" then let steam check the integrity of the files to replace it. *keep a copy of the file just in case*  I had this problem when graphic settings conflicted with what the game wants or because the resolution was incorrect. Your graphics settings can be edited in the startup cfg in the "[KEY = graphics]" section as well.

If you guys are using reshade, crashing could also occur. But usually it is after starting a mission and not having x4 anti-aliasing selected. 


We need some more details. Did you guys change settings and this happened?? New hardware, controls, software?

[6BLBird-Dog]

Tried what you mentioned but no joy.Not installed through steam .
Did fit a new main hard drive recently and acronised the original over from the last backup  including all installed programes & the game .I shall back up inputs and missions and do a clean instal soon then let you know the results.Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Have a bit of a head scratcher...

 

When I load any mission what I get after unpausing the "Start pause" - more often than not anyway - is a second or less of active game where it appears to be running fine - the prop is spinning, all seems right. Then it's all frozen in place... the only option is the escape menu, I click finish mission no luck, restart mission nothing either.

The crash I have never seems to generate a crash dump file (.dmp file) in the appdata/local/crash dumps

Despite having enabled these files to appear if the game crashes. I see a "launcher.exe.backup.12716.dmp" but backup I suppose suggests something else.

 

I run the game in in -

--1920x1080 Fullscreen Res

No 4k preferred textures.

Autoscaled interface (Same in launcher as it is for in game settings - For Rs, 4k, and auto scale)

Shadows -medium.

mirrors - simple.

Distant landscape detail - normal

Horizon draw distant - 150km

Landscape filter - off

grass -normal

clouds -medium

target FPS -60

Dynamic resolution factor - full

AA - 2

HDR - enabled

 

Trackir 4 (No VR headset, don't own one)

 

Online purchase of game (non-steam version)

 

 

 

I turned down the resolution only when this problem first happened, fiddled around with graphics settings a little but didn't touch anything major just reduced AA, SSAO set to off, shadows to medium and distance landscape reduced - however this has happened ever since I purchased the aforementioned rig, game ran fine on the other computer.

 

 

I am running the following rig

 

O/S - Win 10 x64 Home edtion

Intel Core i7-7700K CPU  -  4.20GHz, Quad Core 

GTX 1080

Samsung SSD 960 EVO Hard drive 250GB

16 GB RAM

 

As mentioned no crash dump file appears I have enabled .dmp files to appear if a crash occurs, nothing at all has appeared in the crash dump folder.

I've tried to provide as much info as I can think of - of course without a .dmp it's a bit tricky

 

Cheers,

Additional info to help with reply on error

[Tops1]

From the previous post - when the game loads into mission/campaign/quick mission the error only occurs after pressing the trackir un-pause (as distinct from the pause key in game

 

I hope this helps to explain, and helps anyone else with similar issue's - I just don't know how to solve at this stage.

 

Cheers,

EDIT: FIXED! The computer was brand new and the sound driver installation had an error or was incomplete. Once I fixed it, it booted right up!

 

I'm having an issue with a new computer. I open the game, it starts to load the red bar in the lower left about 5% and then reverts to desktop. I get no error message, no program not responding. It just stops.

 

Computer is brand new, I9 9900k, RTX2080. I am not running any overlays that I know of. Geforce experience is off. I already tried changing to C root directory and redownloaded and installed the whole 14GB again. Same issue.

 

Please help!

 

No logs are present. Not sure if this sheds any light on it but the bar will advance a bit, then drop back down, then advance to its previous position, then crash to desktop with no error. Also, it exhibits the same behavior on steam and in native launcher.

 

One more thing I noticed is that the IL2 Sturmovik Logo seems to appear larger just before the game crashes to desktop.

My game is installed through Steam, not sure if that is relevant.

I have tried deleting the two files in the directory structure with the name landscape.dll and then re-acquiring them through the Steam file verification tool.

 

This issue has also been discussed on the forums with no fix or workaround identified in this thread 

 

thank you for your attention.

I got a Windows 10 update yesterday.  Today when I load the game it crashes right after the logo appears.

 

I looked at the Windows Event Viewer, and it says the Faulting Module is SoundEngine.dll.  I removed that file and deleted my Updates folder.  Ran the game and it updated and replaced that file.  That did not fix it.

 

So now, after the update, the game tries to start in VR mode.  I see the logo as one screen, then immediately I see the dual vr screens and then it crashs.  I now notice a Warning in the event viewer SteamService.dll.new.  So, I Validate the Steam VR tool.  That also did not fix it.

 

Here is my IL-2 SoundEngine.dll Event log error:

I had a similar error and a cause was audio software.

I have been having an issue for about a year now. My game would crash, and this would happen right after a got a pop up window saying "error loading object .xxxx" (not the same each time). Usually, this was preceded by a weird bug when in map view -portions of the map would become red squares when zooming in-out. I used to fix this by updating to the latest drivers. After the latest patch, it appeared again, I did a complete reinstall and everything seemed to work fine. However, after the hotfix, I can't play the game at all. 

 

I am running an i5-6600k, windows 10, 16gb of ram and a Radeon 580 8GB card.

Attached are 2 crash dump files.

 

EDIT: sometimes I also get the message "the instruction at referenced memory 0x..... could not be read".

I had to change memory XMP profile from 3000Mhz to 2933Mhz. My default memory clock without memory oc XMP is 2166Mhz. 3000Mzh caused ctd and reboots with dozens of different .DLL errors! You may want to check your memory modules and mem oc if in use. Btw mem test gave me zero error. I have not experienced a single game crash after solved my memory issue. Hope this helps

yea,i think you may be onto something here.

after about a week of trying to find the cause of random CTD this time,mostly mine occured in the key bindings,but,occassional mission load crash

whilst i disabled my XMP,i have kept ram at 3000mhz(auto)

 

i have only had a couple of crashes since,whereas prior it was fairly regular

i will try dropping it to 2933 and report back
