How on earth do I even get this thing to find my gamepath??? I cannot change the name.... I don't understand.. what am I missing?

Click the setup button in the Il2 MatManager interface. Use the first option to navigate to your 1946 folder, making sure you have made a copy of your il2fb.exe and renamed it il2.exe (so that you have 2 .exe's in there).

Ok, but now when I press Launch, then try to run the game, it crashes at 70%

it requires il2fb.exe iirc

clearcache=0 must be in conf.ini [game] section

you can set game path in the file: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2_Mat_Manager\IL2-MAT Manager.ini

here's my ini file

[Root]
MAT_Manager_Ver=0.00
FB_Root=C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
HL_Root=C:\Program Files\HyperLobbyPro3
UBI_Root=C:\Program Files\ubi.com\Core
TIR_Root=C:\Program Files\Naturalpoint\TrackIR

[Launch]
HL=0
UBI=0
TIR=0
Off=1

[Enhanced_PF_Cache_Support]
Enabled=1

[Delete_Cache_Subfolders]
Enabled=0
...

the rest of the file is related to my markings setting, not important

...and press 'Save' if you change some settings inside MatManager

I don't understand, I match everything that you have... but it will not load past 70%

NEITHER .exe file that I click on will work. And based on what you guys have been telling me, I did'nt do anything wrong...

Should I have installed this over a clean 4.08 instead of modded 4.09? That could probably be it, no?


I may need a walk-through. I feel really dumb. Where should I have installed MAT manager? why won't it load? Should i have installed it into the IL-2 folder or into a seperate folder? Does making a copy of the il2fb.exe mess with anything? I'm confused.

Try using a real Il2fb.exe that has not been hacked, and rename it "Il2". Point the Mat program towards that. Keep your preferred Il2fb one in there too.

Where should I have installed MAT manager?

Where have you installed MAT Manager? Bear in mind that it is a separate program and not a mod and needs to be installed separately from your game directory. If you've installed it into your main IL2 directory, I think it might cause the problems you're having.
