    Oh FFS

    Decided to try and roll back to 3.01m from 3.02 - tried to over-patch it = gah

    That fubared the whole IL2fb.exe so it wouldn't load up, no problem, I'll just un-install PF+FB+AEP and copy and paste my 2.04 version.

    After un-installing it, I deleted the 'Copy Of...' (3.02) folder as I figured the uninstall hadn't deleted the folder etc - Only to realise that after copying the 'IL2...' (2.04) version, that the uninstallation had deleted the files in THAT directory instead of my 3.02 one!!

    Luckily I hadn't totally deleted the fubared folder from the recycle bin, so shall reinstall the beta patch and be done with it, until the official patch overwrites it

    This is really taking the biscuit now, and I'm beginning to get really annoyed with the team behind it, and also (unfortunately) the game

    EDIT: And if somebody like me is having problems with the patches and the game, just think how Zak is feeling!!!

    OK, and now it won't load past 35% because...???

    Loads to 35% and then crashes to desktop - sorry Oleg but this time you've fooked up, bigtime

    We can't fly as a squad because we don't all have the HDD space and the time needed to ensure we have the same versions, and when we finally do seem to be getting somewhere, we become guinea pigs to his new testing that his Beta testers can't do...

    Seriously now, format - reinstall.

    The uninstallers for IL2 is somewhat lacking given the patches include new files and registry entries, but don't log them in the uninstaller package.. so uninstalling IL2 through Add/Remove proggies, or from the Uninstall icon don't completely remove IL2.

    You could, I suppose, go sifting through your registry, if you have a few days to spare. :<

    When you have it vanilla, backup the registry before you install IL2 (and any other apps) as this will prevent you having to format, reinstall again in future.

    I've still not done any of the PF patches yet, when you guys all sort out the proper (read not beta) patches and we're all on the same version drop me a line...

    Well, to be brutally honest, what is the point in me having 3.02bm?? So I can fly one or two dogfight servers and be Oleg's guinea pig?? Cos if I want to fly VEF or Bellum or with any of the BOA/Cess/EAF etc guys, I've gotta have 3.01m, and thats what I fly for - to play online wars and have fun.

    No (Or minimal) hosts of VEF/Bellum are running 3.02, and I didn't fly with 3.02, so decided to unpatch (unsuccessfully), and now am mid-reinstall

    Had enough of all this patch stupidity, tis doing my head in

    pffft - I was gonna install IL2 and come whip some asses but seeing as it still acts and behaves like a BETA piece of software I'll think I might avoid it like the plague.

    I seriously feel for all you serial formatters these nothing worse than an 1/2 arsed coding attempt at an installer and patching system that bollocks up all your system after you've spend hours downloading windows updates, driver updates, software updates and then game patches for it go go *BOOM*

    I'll go put PF back on the shelf now... walk away Lee its not worth loosing most your save games over... or is it ?
