Stuck on launch screen!

[lwalter]

Since the update with the Mosquito, I can no longer launch IL2.

The loading bar fills normally until the end and then I get an error message: #10005: Please update your game: new version available

Then, nothing. It's stuck on the launch screen.

 

I'm using the Steam version of the base game and usually Steam keeps the game up to date. So I don't understand why I get this update issue.

Note also that I bought Battle of Normandy directly from the IL2 store. I don't know if that could explain the issue ?

 

Please help, because I was eagerly expecting the Mosquito, and now, no Mosquito and no IL2 Great Battles at all!

Go into Steam and right click on the IL-2 game in your list > choose properties > local files > verify integrity of game files.  That should replace any missing files, plus you may need to do that twice so they download the second time around.

 

Also, you'll need to link your IL-2 store purchase with Steam if you haven't done so already.  Directions to do that are in your IL-2 account page.

Thanks a lot @Drum!

After verifying integrity of files, Steam downloaded about 300 MB of files, and now everything works again, and I can use the Mosquito!

Glad to hear it, Iwalter.  The next time you're online in your Mosquito and see a low flying 190A-8, let him go because you owe me one!  ?
