Game version 2.001 discussion: Battle of Moscow

[Jade_Monkey]

I know we should be able to access BOM through our BOS game, but are they technically two separate games on steam? Two icons? Or one and a DLC type of serial key?

Or will it eventually become a hub like DCS world?

I'm getting error trying to update the game via Steam: "content is still encrypted".

I was wondering that too, I only have the one BoS showing in Steam but it seems to have BoM merged into it.

I've noticed a problem when I open missions in the editor after the latest update. In the Ortho view everything is normal, but when I change to the  reworked GUI map all icons are in the wrong locations. Apparently Ortho view and GUI view don't match on the Stalingrad and Velikie Luki maps.

Now you can access and play BOM through BOS in Steam.

BOM will be released in Steam as a separate game in the near future.

BoS won't launch on Steam after update. Trying reinstall now.

Sorry for not freaking out of enthusiasm about the "great news" ... just one simple question ... when will Battle of Moscow be available on DVD ?

 

I dont want a "download-version", I want to be able to buy the game on DVD in a shop here in my town.

 

I'm sorry to disappoint, but probably not at this point. Discs just don't sell much anymore and the cost to produce a nice boxed version doesn't generate a good return.

if you own both you will see them merged and a list of them in your GUI on the right column, if you own just BOM you will see IL-2 Sturmovik. visa verse for BOS.

 

     

 

my steam version installed no issues, and it reinstalled the net-frame C++ automatically, well asked to repair.

I'm reinstalling, I could get in to the game but when I t4ried QMB it would crash to desktop

 

**This appeared to have worked**

If it gives an error on launch, navigate to the SteamApps folder, tnen IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2012 and run vcredist_x64.exe. Steam should have installed it for you though.

[J4SCrisZeri]

Huge list and update. Thank you for your hard work.

Just one question, where does that awesome screenshot come from? A rendering, I suppose?

Cannot be taken in-game, at any settings level or on any today's gaming rig

 

Confirm?  

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Thanks for the tip Sneaksie, the update went well and everything is working

Yes, that's the way mine looks and it works fine. I was just curious as they mentioned some procedure that you'd have to do to register BoM on Steam, but I guess that will happen later. 

[Asgar]

reinstalling the game now...the fix described by Sneaksie isn't working for me. 6 GB downloading at 125 kb/s...any way to increase the DL speed?

[Blitzen]

does anyone know if the new BoM into vids are going to be up on YouTube or if they are already?They are pretty nifty!

That is one reason I like Steam. Downloads often max out my bandwidth.

That worked! Thank you. Yea, steam "updated" the game, but then wouldnt launch.

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

Update is installed & working fine for me. I noticed a Microsoft C++ Redistributale installation window popped up while downloading but my version was already higher so it didnt do anything. Maybe there's some conflict with that for those with problems after updating?

Its from the DX12 DN2 engine!  jk   Who knows what the future will hold.........

 

Congrats Devs on the release of BOM 

[6./ZG26_Emil]

I have a problem: No icons will show up on my missions in game, I have flown around to see if the objects are there and they are but the front lines, translator icons etc do not show up!

[csThor]

Just a little correction for the "special mission" on the german side when you enter the BoM Campaign for the first time: "Das Reich" would not become a full Panzer Division until late 1943, until early 1943 it was but a "motorized Division". So the correct designation would be SS-Division mot "Das Reich".

Jason, if someone wish to have a DVD + a nice Boxed Version, why not let him pay for the produce & shipping cost to him. A printed or download able moscow map the same qualtiy how the stalingrad map was that was included to the DVD Boxed Version. Any ideas to that?

[Danziger]

What I've seen so far is very nice I didn't have any issues downloading or installing or crashing. All went smooth. The time acceleration is also in QMB. I'm guessing it's only left out of the campaign for obvious reasons.

 

Great job guys it is something to be proud of!

 

Now you can crack the whip on that 3d modeller and get him back to fixing my MiG-3

I know, in the original Russian text is written "motorized SS-Division "Reich". "Panzer Division" is an incorrect translation into English and all other languages, we already can't do something now((

[Lusekofte]

When premium planes for BoM will be available to purchase?

 

 

Does BOM have premium planes? 

 

 

Uh I hope its downloaded now and will test it, I like a living and breathing sim, so many thanks

Just note it for the next update or something.

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Flew a Pe-2 campaign mission, and what a joy! Even though our bombs missed the parked aircraft we were persistent and came down from the safety of 4500m down to 200m in order to strafe the airfield. When that was done, the flight happily took its course home.

 

Halfway back, right at the front lines, I saw long machine gun bursts being fired somewhat near my flight. I figured it was an enemy emplacement, so I took it as my job to silence that gun too. When I dipped my nose and the emplacement entered my sights something amazed me - a green flare shot up, it's our infantry down there! The six Pe-2s pulled up and proceeded back home one by one.

 

...yes, I jacked up the landing but it was a great experience

[BlackSix]

Just note it for the next update or something.

Ok, thx, I did not notice this error before

[SaimOn67]

 

Great, i waited for the release, so I can buy it BOM from Steam. Any ETA yet?

[LLv44_Damixu]

I'm getting error trying to update the game via Steam: "content is still encrypted".

 

Problem solved!

 

The solution:

1) Close Steam,

2) Terminate Steam.exe (if still running) via Windows Task Manager,

3) Delete file appmanifest_307960.acf from \Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\  folder

 

Now the Steam updating download will commence.

[BlackSix]

BOM will be released in Steam in the near future.

BUT, you can purchase BOM on our site using your user account (registered email on our site). You can activate the key on our site and get access to BOM content via this game installer. Then when BOM is released on Steam you will have an opportunity to deactivate the key on our site and get a Steam key from us and activate it on the Steam page to add BOM in your Steam game-library. Then activate the key on our site and get access to the game without losing all your early game experience on your user account.

No this won't happen. It doesn't work like that.

I don't want to update, how do I do that?

[BMA_FlyingShark]

I don't want to update, how do I do that?

Why on earth would anyone NOT want to update?

 

[DD_Arthur]

Downloaded quickly which was good as my internet connection is terrible.  The auto - installer worked, got offered the Microsoft thing but declined it.  Game up and running fine.  Everything seems to be working, no changes to any settings and SweetFX still working too.

 

Nice one guys.  S!

[JtD]

Why on earth would anyone NOT want to update?

Takes time. Resets controls/configurations. Doesn't offer anything I care about. So why bother?

I just wanted to play a couple of minutes, now. I don't want to download a patch, then have no time to play any more. Updating should be a background task, not a mandatory thing popping up when you're launching. Anyway, time's up, gotta do other stuff.
