[Tipsi]

strange that you say this. i tried running the game just now. I type in my credentials, click login and then CTD. glad its not just me so must be game-side fault

[durruti]

exactly the same filecount i had too. lets just wait perhaps. ?

[ACG_Dickie]

Same from dozens of ACG.  Was working before 8pm UK, then just doesn't allow you to get to the game, CTD after 100% then "Please Wait"

[Enigma89]

Same issue here!

[durruti]

F**K, wanted to try my new toy the "Flak auf Halbkettenfahrzeug" ! ?

Hope it´s fixed soon.

[FTC_Rostic]

Same problem. Relogined, checked files integrity in Steam. Restarted PC.... nothing helps.

Crash to desktop when game almos comple loading... (red loading bar reached right border of screen).

[ACG_Steel]

Run the .exe as an administrator, fixed it for a few guys

[ACG_Dickie]

Yup.

 

<Install dir>:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game\Il-2.exe

 

Run as Admin,  login using your IL2 password account here

 

HOWEVER, you seem to ONLY have the DLC bought through 1C???   Some guys don't have the DLC if they got it through Steam

UPDATE: Well, there is a solution, just run il-2.exe directly from installation folder and login with your 1C account.

 

[durruti]

Thanks, works for me !

[FTC_Rostic]

But there is another problem. DLC's for the game not available (((((((((((

[ACG_Jackman]

It's a Steam issue it will not run with steam, 

 

[NoelGallagher]

lol what's going on...

i think it's not just steam issue 

it's the issue of il-2 server and the steam server not communicating properly 

so it's both

[Canvas25]

Running as Admin got me through the GUI, but 3D world just has a black screen with a mouse pointer.

[FTC_Cule]

It's a mastermind's move.

[=LD=Bulldog*]

I can't play Hell Let Loose on Steam neither.

[FTC_Cule]

Gotta wait until steam fixes their servers 

[porks46porksf1sr]

It is a Steam issue, Steam has lost the connection somehow between your Steam Account and the IL-2 account, which is why it works from the exe but your DLC's are missing. I would wait 12 hours or so and then try again before you do anything drastic like a reinstall. It could also possibly be a big update is on the way (I hope fingers crossed) and that is why everything is currently not working.

Who is that mastermind? Tell him to fix it!

[Pict]

I just tested my install and it runs no problem and there was no update...

 

I don't use steam for anything.

[Sneaksie]

There was no update guys (not on Sunday!). It works for us now, please try running through Steam as normal.

[ACG_Steel]

Well, it seems its been fixed now ?

[porks46porksf1sr]

Thankyou, I will try again

[Canvas25]

Looks good now.

[Padre]

Try now, should working.

Must have been a cock-up, got fixed

[Enigma89]

Seems like a lot of players are getting micro-stutters who never experienced it before. I wonder if there are lingering effects with the steam issue somehow?

[Enigma89]

Verifying steam files twice fixed the micro stutters for me

Apart from I'm playing via steam with no issues. 

 

A 'You' issue is not necessarily an 'everyone' issue.

sure it isn't 

but! it is happening to others also there's another post by other users about this problem right after i wrote this 

there are a lot of people saying this happens to them in finnish discord also

i wouldn't write this before i check that this wasn't just for me

 

so i would say to you "jsut becasue you don't have issue it doesn't mean others don't have it" ..

Nothing was changed in the game files since 4.603 release in August, so if it worked fine after that and suddenly you have problems please check your settings, graphics driver, etc. Even a Windows update could have changed something. Steam overlay shouldn't interfere with the game performance, but you can turn it off in Steam properties of a specific game.

thx for the resonponse first of all

and there was no graphic driver update nor windows update 

any kind of driver update whatsoever 

 

and i just finished format the entire windows right now

i'm downloadin the game again with the clean window

 

let's see if problem resolved 

 

if problem persist then we know for sure it's not about personal hardware ot software problem

since i clean up th windows it self

 

i will post the result 1hour later

 

i guess that steam might corrupt the game file itself

so i was trying to report this to steam but they only show me to contact the developer website so here i am 

 

 

RESULT : FPS DROP and Stuttering Fixed after formatting the windows itself lol

i think by downloading those 6 missing files after steam's false diagnose with verfication

that fucked up something 

i get very fishy feeling about what it was hmm....

Big SPASIBO to Sneaksie for jumping in at 8.51pm UK time with an explanation, which is 10.51 Moscow time, on Sunday. That is dedication from the team.
