I have begun to notice two perplexing problems with my current setup. I play IL2 1946/ 409b1m with UI and most of the downloads. These two problems only began recently but seem to be increasingly frequent(or maybe that's my imagination).
Problem #1: I double click my IL2,exe shortcut to start my game, and it seems to generate two games, one superimposed on the other. When the start up is completed, the game version showing is frozen. I click Ctrl+ Alt+ Del, to close the frozen game, which works most of the time. Once it's closed, there is another, open copy of the game, showing on the lower tool bar, which functions normally. I seem to have gotten around this problem by making a short cut of the il2fb.exe. This seems to open a single, fully functioning game version. What is the difference between the two exe files?
Problem #2: Sometimes in a mission that has gone on for a longish time, the screen freezes and a notice appears stating "Application error; The instruction at 0x0dc50a57 referenced memory at 0x0ec583b0. The memory could not be read." At that point it tells me to click ok to close the game. I do and the game closes. Of course, this seems to be after a particularly good score on my part. This has happened in several different campaigns. If repeated the mission can usually be completed without problems. I sometimes think I can avoid the problem if I select automatic pilot, or the fast forward command, but again, that might be wishful thinking.
Can anyone help me with either or both of these problems?
