    Il-2 1946 installation issue

    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

    Re: Il-2 1946 installation issue

    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.???

    Gramacho.. have you patched it to 4.09m?

    http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...397#1541069397

    that sometimes sorts it

    the .exe suggestion is actually a replacement for the .exe that makes the game run in the first place and can be found in the odd /cough -game copy world- kind of place.
