JV44HeinzBar Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 S!, I tried to start Il2 this morning and I've run into a problem. The load screen appears and looks like it's going to load since the "loading" bar at the bottom appears full. However, the screen then drops to my desktop. I've verified the files through Steam and all files are verified. Note: I bought the game through the store, but linked my account with Steam. Does anyone have an idea what might be the cause? HB
Nadelbaum Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 A long shot, but if it is the same as in my case then it seems I had too many Scripted Campaigns installed. The size of the "campaignsstates.txt" is too big. If I remove one complete entry from there then everything is fine. I have basically installed all commercial and free scripted campaigns that are available.
SlowJoeCrow Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 I am having the same issue today. The game loaded fine last time I played.
TheWarsimmer Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 Started happening to me this morning too... loads all the way, and then "please wait" appears at the top of screen with sudden ctd
churchbrad1969 Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 Same for me to games keeps crashing on launch... Something on their end is wrong
SlowJoeCrow Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 Solution if you have Steam: Right click IL2 icon then Properties/Local File then click check integrity of files. Steam will run a scan of files and fix faulty files.

TheWarsimmer Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 Do any of you happen to fly in VR and use the openvr_api.dll from open composite?
VR_Fjordian_Slip Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 @TheWarsimmer I fly in VR and use opencomposite - not sure if I use that spec opening. I was able to get IL2 to relaunch by verifying files but have a inexplicable fps drop of 50%.
JV44HeinzBar Posted August 11, 2022 Author Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) S!, For some unknown reason, I was able to play last night. Other than verifying the game through Steam, I didn't do anything else. Note: after verifying the files, I was still unable to play, so I gave up and decided finish a work project instead of playing IL2 One of the many mysteries of computer programming, I guess.

nativeat1 Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 I have this issue but only with joining multiplayer, I have verified my files through steam yet nothing works. I have reinstalled the game yet still continues with this issue. This is the closest thing I could find to fixing this problem so any help is needed. I have played this game multiple times before with no issues. Be advised I have the game downloaded onto a USB Drive.
=FI=Nellip42 Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 Cleared out the content of the campaignsstates.txt file and, hey presto, the game now loads. Lost all my progress on the scripted campaigns, but if the game won't load I couldn't play them anyway.............

=AD=Kap-the-head Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 (edited) Hello, I started having this issue several days ago. In (any) mission loading screen, the loading bar gets to about 60-75% and then the game just closes. File integrity is verified every time; sometimes the game loads after a computer restart. However, yesterday, none of the actions worked, so I completely reinstalled the game, and that did not fix the issue either. Games such as DCS and MSFS work fine, with no issues, so I don't think it's a Steam or a video card issue. Any advise is appreciated. Edited November 6, 2024 by =AD=Kap-the-head
