Crash to desktop when trying to startup game


Recommended Posts

Posted

BOS has started crashing to the desktop every time I try to open it.  It gets all the way to the end of the load screen (bottom bar filled all the way to the right) then crashes.  I've removed all mods, but can't get into the game to turn "mods" off.

 

crashdump file attached.

 

Thanks!

Same experience, but I don’t have any mods. Game worked fine this morning.

Application sourced thru Steam?

Posted

Something similar here. Just black screen instead of the loading screen when booting up in Steam.

Is there any fix?

Posted

All better.  Yes, sourced through Steam.  I guess they figured it out!

Posted

I have same problem today. No access to the game ;( 

Posted

Same here through steam, I don´t have any mods. Game worked fine yesterday.

Same for me. The only change was a Windows cumulative update. Maybe that caused it?

I thought the same when this happened a few days ago while I had a never ending unsuccessful windows update install. Devs fixed the issue while i was still battling with the update. So i would highly bet its a steam authentication issue.

Same here, unable to launch the game via Steam. When launching outside Steam it says "the map is not available for your account" :O

I have the same problem: after loading screen program crashs to desktop.

Posted

Same problem here via Steam, tried the verify of local files things which said 16 files needed re-downloading, but still no joy. Have just uninstalled it now and going to see if a fresh install fixes it.

IL-2 crashes to desktop when I start through steam. If I start through the .exe in the game files I dont have my modules.

Posted

Same here, steam. Verifying local files doesn't help. 

Posted

With normal exe and login, it's working,
But yes, no modules...

Posted

Same issue..Games loads and crashed to desktop on Steam. Worked fine yesterday. My other games that I run through steam have no issues, so it's definitely something with IL-2

Posted

Same issue.

Did the same as Roland_HUNter, and was able to "bypass" the issue: Game File .exe, game launched, asked for login and got to main menu; no problem. Haven't check further yet. But over the hurdle.

No Mods. And, Running VR.

I'm having the same issue. If you launch the il2.exe directly it will typically work so I think it's the link between the IL2 and Steam accounts that's breaking.

It was working roughly 6 hours ago when I last played.

A complete uninstall, clear all IL2 files, and install does not solve the Steam part of the problem.

No mods, normally VR but this also impacts non-VR.

Posted

And, For myself, I do not have access to any aircraft that was purchased through steam... so that's a bust too.

Posted

I have the same problem, game through steam, no mods. No acces to game. Everything fine yesterday, I have never had such a problem before.

I guess it's time to fly DCS until 1C and Steam fix this issue. I refuse to fly without VR. Ridiculous how a game can break overnight.

Yep...Steam problem is back for me too.

Posted

same issue here. Unloaded all mods using JGSME, file integrity check, uninstall and reinstall via Steam. still no joy.

I can get the game to run outwith steam but am asked to link the IL2 and steam accounts.

looks like a Steam issue to me.

Having the issue again myself.  Put a shortcut to the il2.exe file on my desktop and it runs without issues (aside from remembering my password!)

Posted

Same here, I only purchased BOS through Steam (I don't have any other content), so I am unable to access the game through Steam. When I try to open it from the local files, it starts, but is totally empty - no planes, no maps to play. So as a customer I paid for something I cannot use xD

Posted

Yep 

 

Me too, thought it was because i tried it through VR (Oculus) but I'm guessing that as a whole bunch of other folks are having the exact same issue It's a Steam thing ? 

 

Yep I've done the whole Steam, verify files and update game thing, and when that didn't work reinstalled the whole game. It looks like its an account link problem as when I try to link up my account on my new install (by selecting "I have played this game before and have an IL2 account" and entering my correct email and password), my game crashes to desktop.....

 

Please help ASAP my flight/tank sim addiction has got to the hand tremor phase of withdrawal!!

I totally understand you ? you're not alone anyway

Posted

For now i play with the .exe, for VR Just restart the Game in the graphic-options via "Use VR HMD" checkbox.

That's how i use VR without Steam.

 

Posted

Same here, and i use STEAM.

 

Is anyone able to start it through STEAM at all, normally?

 

Starting it through the exe limits my DLC's to only a few ones that were identified while linking Il-2 and steam account :(

BTW. All DLC's in the Steam version should be identified in your Il-2 account, but that's another issue for another thread ;)

game is crashing  and not working...  i upgraded my network today  to fiber optics   maybe thats the cause?
who can help to fix this ?

Totally. If they were inderified in my Il2 account, I won't be upset at all. 

As I see it, this is the MAIN issue and it Has to be fixed ASAP.

devs send the same message to everyone about turning off steam overlay, which is not very helpful, dunno when they fix it, but lack of communication is highly unprofessional here. Anyway, my day-off is over, gonna go back to work. Perhaps I can play the game I've paid for next week -.-

I feel you bro. I'm also having a day off too and I can't play the bloody thing. That's what I was looking forward to do pretty much for the whole day... So yes, I'm angry and pissed off. I was hoping it'll be fixed this morning, but it seems like noone really cares about this issue. The lack of communication is indeed highly unprofessional and bothers me a lot. 

The thing is I paid a whole lot of bucks for a thing which is broken quite often... And I really don't like this attitude ???

Yep, the CTD problem with the Steam version is back. Other games like DCS are still running just fine in Steam.

Posted

I had a try again just now and have been able to launch via Steam without any issues despite not being able to last night. 

As I'd done a clean reinstall I also tested account link which worked for me too this time round.

Don't try to convince yourself that this problem occurred from your setup. I tried to convince myself that a failed windows update caused this so I did lots of troubleshooting to find out that many steam users are experiencing the same thing. That was on friday, so this is the second time we experience issue within just 4 days... 

UPDATE: 

"The issue is resolved now (there was a change in Steam security and we had to update our server to be compatible)."
