delete updates folder and try again via Launcher.exe?

[RAVEN_CORVID_GB]

Hi JollyJack. Thank you for your reply.

 

OLD timer...long time il2,,,il2FB, SAS, etc player, retired server hosting etc...

Seeking some online Gameplay so just purchased and downloaded GB as I am led to believe multiplayer servers are still somewhat popular.

 

Same error when starting as admin both Launcher and IL-2 in the bin/game/folder.

Searched for but could not find 'error' files/ logs.

 

TY

OOps I did not Delete as instructed. Will do so now. I apologize not following your instruction.

JJ,

Deleted 'updates' folder.

Launched.... (no error)

It then proceeded with ANALYZING FILES. And appeared to download more files...took several minutes and GB data looked different from initial installation GB sizes.

The new UPDATES folder now shows some 

     Copies folder > empty

     Packs > 2 files

     Patches > empty

 

tempted to just delete them again, but will wait for your suggestion.

Thank you

JJ,

Screen of the dld.

Same result... failed again.

[RAVEN_CORVID_GB]

then this after reboot... but still same error message as in my first post.

Net Framework is 4.7

Dx11

 

 

 

[jollyjack]

Just saw this, fixed yet? What windows version? Thought DotNet was 4.8 normally.

Did you wait for download to finish? Try to set properties/ compatibility to Run as Administrator on IL2.exe and launcher.exe in the bin folder.

 

[RAVEN_CORVID_GB]

Hi Jollyjack

I Do Appreciate  Your Effort To Help.

Dx11 Installed

Dotnet/Framenet 4.7 Confirmed As Installed

Windows 7 64bit

 

 

>> jollyjack,

we solved it.. IT LOADS NOW

  again thanksfor your effort to behelpful, my eyesight may be shit but my THANK YOU IS SINCERELY YOURS!

 

Regards

Hi Jollyjack

again Thank You For Your Continued Efforts, We Have Not Given Up Yet.

 

turns out so far i installed a newNet Framework and it finally works, despite windows systems indicating i already had 4.5 and/or 4.7 installed from Cliffs of Dover and Blitz. even with my crappy one eye windows showed version 4.7, additionally the Dot Netframework included with IL2GB  did not resolve. This info provided to aid others with potentially similar problem.

AGAIN THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE EFFORT SIR, COFFE AND SNACKS ON ME IN THE READY ROOM !
