IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad Discussion

Wow, that's a weird one.. I always have to unplug mine when I get the left roll = guns blazing issue (all though that one is not game specific since it happens in DCS too.

Why the hell do I keep having to shut down IL2-BOS through task manager the first time I attempt to log in?

Accursed game freezes on attempting to log in so I have to hard kill it at least once every time.  After restart and second attempt, it has been working fine.   :pullhair: 

I recall having a rare issue like this with ROF, but this has been steady with BOS.   These good flight sims are in constant Beta/Alpha condition.   

A similar thing happens to me. In single-player, when the mission is about to launch, it freezes with a black screen that requires me to kill the game through the task manager. It does this every other time I run the game. But then it will always work after that first reboot. Hasn't happened in multi-player yet, thankfully.

Try full screen window mode, seems to perform better for me.

Try full screen window mode, seems to perform better for me.

I switched mine over to that a long time ago, after reading the same suggestion regarding freezes and/or fps issues.

My "freeze" isn't technically a complete lock-up.  It's just some issue communicating with the login server.  Just sits there endlessly, as if waiting for a server reply that will never come.  Have to hard exit the damn thing.

Did a few flights with IronX last night.. Thanks for the company Iron!

Sooooooo... what are you trying to say? 

:))


I guess you ended up getting BoM then, seeing as you have a '110.   I think that specific aircraft would be the only reason I considered getting that one.  More so that Battle Of Kuban is coming out before long, with it's sexy later-war models.  <:-)

But you know me.  I still primarily dream in afterburner (aka DCS).

[IronX]

Nice screens, Tuna!

Didn't do so well today, getting shot down by Yaks on both missions. :(

Next BoM sale and I'm in!

[JudgeDredd]

Next BoM sale and I'm in!

BoM? Isn't this BoS?

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

It's a bit of both.

[Tuna]

BOM is on sale right now SDR!..

JD, BoM is the 2nd installment of BoS.. gives you Moscow maps and I think 8 more planes.. ME 110 E2 and Ju 88 being the two I wanted. I guess Battle of Kuban which isn't on sale gives you the ME 110 G2. Don't think Kuban is 'out' yet, but they're starting to release some of the planes to the people he bought it now.

[Skoop]

The 110 g2 is a blast to plink tanks with the pod mount 37mm.  The devs just released the big 2.009 update that has full VR support, so if you have a headset, check it out....it's suppose to be excellent.
