percydanvers Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Hello, Apologies if this issue has been raised - I looked for it and didn't see a post here. I am experiencing a CTD when launching my steam install of IL-2 BOS. I'm using a simple steam install of the game with no mods or anything, and I have never had a problem launching the sim until today. Apparently I am not the only one experiencing this issue today, per the steam forum. It appears as though it might be a steam issue, but I thought I'd raise it here if anyone knows how I might be able to work around it. Thanks! 1
Eclipse4349 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 I have the same issue. I have BoS through Steam and everything else direct from the Il-2 store. I also have a clean install with no mods. I have tried loading in VR and regular 2D monitor, and both crash to the desktop just prior to the main menu screen loading, after the initial loading screen has "completed" - the red bar has filled up all the way to the right. About 10 seconds or so later, I get a rotating hourglass and it crashes to the desktop. I have tried validating Steam files twice, and of course a clean restart of my PC. I just flew last night with no issues. 1
SirK Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Same issue here - just started today. Given the steady influx of reports I'm guessing it'll get a lot of attention fairly quickly. Here's hoping for a fast fix. 2
Eclipse4349 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 I just launched the game successfully using the Il-2.exe file in the Steam install folder. It loaded to the account login screen, I logged in, and all of my content seems to be available. I bought BoS on Steam, and all other content direct from the Il-2 store, and the BoS map is available in Quick Mission, as are all aircraft, and I could create a BoS career. At least this seems to work in the interim, until the Steam issue is resolved. I hope this works for others, as well
ATAG_SKUD Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Everything is down on Steam. Just tried to play Back4Blood with the kids and its down as well as all of their Steam games. skud
Cleo9 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) I have used this procedure posted on Steam Originally posted by Griddlebone: I was able to launch a game by doing the following: 1) go to the steam folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game 2) right click on il2 icon and run as adminstrator 3) Wait for IL2 load...enter in IL2 credentials 4) proceed... I have access to my careers but can't fly the ones involving some of the planes I purchased on Steam (Macchi 202, P40), those planes are now locked in the planning room and are nowhere to be found in QMB. I have also noticed that it is not possible to log to the devs's site (this site) using my Steam address and password. So I assume that the link between the two accounts has been compromised.

There are a number of people playing a number of things on my Steam friends list.
ATAG_SKUD Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 It showed my kids on B4B also but I was talking to them and they could not get in

That is very strange. All of my content appears to be available in QMB and career mode. I had linked my accounts back when, also.

SirK Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Per this: ... it appears they deployed some sort of patch. Can confirm my game launches normally now. 1 1

1CGS -DED-Rapidus Posted October 20, 2021 1CGS Posted October 20, 2021 The problem was solved by rechecking the files in the steam?
