[SOLVED] Failed to Update

[SOLIDKREATE]

If your game is failing to update.

 

Go to your IL-2 folder and delete all the files in the 'UPDATE' folder. 

 

Relaunch IL-2 and it will update.

@Arfsix also has advice from IL*2 Support regarding failure to launch after update.

The problem appears to have been solved by applying the following as suggested by Support; particularly removing read only property and running game and launcher as administrator. Thank you to Olga Yemelyanova of 1CGS Support Team <support@1cgs.net>.

 

From FAQ about launcher and updating https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/5321-faq-about-launcher-and-updating/
1) Before you start
Remember that the game uses certain ports 
Setup or turn off your security software (antivirus, brandmauer, UAC, SmartScreen, etc.)
Make sure that you're logged into Windows as Administrator
Open context menu by a right click on game's icon, go to Compatibility settings and choose to Run as Administrator

6) The game doesn't start, the application shuts down and a warning error message appears. What can be done here?
You need to launch the game as Administrator. Click with the RMB on IL-2.exe (...\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game\Il-2.exe), enter the menu and choose to run it as Admin.
13) Game crashes to desktop all the time, what's wrong?
Find the catalog where the game is installed, enter the folder properties and remove the tick from Read Only field.

 

Notice

Before doing a complete uninstall and reinstall, try removing read only property from game folder (IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles) and run launcher.exe and IL-2. exe as administrator.

Got a 'failed to update'.

 

Tried downloading again but it is stuck on 2.16kb.

 

Any ideas guys?

This update appears to be not compatible with any, or maybe some, previous mods. 

What I did was disabling the only mod I have (clouds enhancement), then I deleted the update folder and launched the game. 

The update was downloaded again and now everything seems to be ok

Hi, I'm getting an "error updating" when trying to update to 4.602. I tried to delete ..IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\updates\21-06-03 directory but no luck. is there anything I can do?

Thanks.

Ever since the new update, my game will not launch. I get a message saying there is a updated version accompanied by an error code 10005. I have restarted the PC, re installed the game, and I am still trying fixes but at this point I can not launch the game. Even tried searching the forums here for a fix that helps. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Delete the update folder in the Great Battles folder

[rafib]

I think I tried all the suggestions brought in previous topics, such as launcher, exe, password. It gets worse messages, no internet connection...

 

Thank you for your help

Dear flyers all,

Can anyone help me with the above? I cannot get past this 'failure to update' when I try and install. Clicking on the game 'start' icon merely returns me to the loading page and the game starts reloading with the same result

Any help MUCH appreciated. Kind regards

i've tried that several times now (deleting all the files in the update folder.) it doesn't work.                       

[RMS38]

the advanced fix: deleting all the files in the update folder, doesn't work. 

 

i've installed this on another computer - no problem.

 

this one? won't work.  no idea why.

 

any known fixes out there?

bumping this as I have the same issue after the last update on a Windows 11 computer.
Not solved by removing the update folder. Had to reinstall completely. I update via the launcher.
