Il-2 1946 installation issue

Andy3536 · 20-02-2008, 09:06 PM

Have re-installed this a couple of times and it always pops up with 'd3d8.dll not found'
Have tried running in compatibility mode for XP, no difference.
Am using the newer all in 1 DVD and not installing the games individually.
Can anybody help

Running with vista 64

It is an old game now... not sure if it's even been tested on a Vista rig... my guess is that it don't like DX10.... tried running the game in OpenGL? looks prettier that way anyway

When i try running the game in open GL it still doesn't work.

I get the image of the disc as the curser and the disc drive spins up but when the disc icon goes nothing happens.???

I downloaded a new exe file and all is working perfectly
