New computer -Game fails to update ?

[Frequent_Flyer]

I copied 1C Game Studio file from old computer and pasted into Program Fle (X86) in new rig and launched the game from inside the "game " folder  and received a " failed to update " message. What am I doing wrong ? Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Thank You in advance

Have the drive numbers changed from old pc to the new one ?

I ended up downloading a new version to the new PC  and moving my mission and skin folders over to new rig as well. However, now the "game interface"  settings don't save. The mini map although saved as " hidden " still appears as " compact ". Any suggestions would be much appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.

I just went through a similar experience.  After copying and pasting IL-2  from the old computer to the new in Programs (x86), my old shortcut wouldn't launch the game nor would the exe.  I decided to do a new install.  After installing, I tried my shortcut and the exe but still no dice however it would launch from the new launcher.  After pasting in all my skins, inputs, etc.  to what I thought was the new install, no skins, etc. showed when launching with the launcher.  After looking around it finally dawned on me that the new install is in c:Programs not c:Programs (x86).  After copying skins, input, etc. to the new location all is good.

@Frequent_Flyer check that your "startup.cfg" is not set to "read only"

Good evening FlyingH,

Would you be kind enough to explain the path to find "start.chg" ?

IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\startup.cfg

Thank you, I found it. However, how do I determine if it is "read only " ?

[Aapje]

Right-click the file and select properties. Then make sure that the read-only checkbox is not checked:

Thank you again Aapje. Unfortunately, this was not the issue.

Try to put the game folder anywhere outside of the program files or games folders!
