Thoug I thought my problems were solved, they were not. I even launched the problem on a Mission4Today forum. Below the latest message I launched to make clear what the problem realy is.
What I did the last few days: I installed a fresh 4.07 version without any updates, just a NODVD patch and let it run free. Through msconfig I disabled all programs running. Just Windows XP was active and still the error appeared. Even with 4.08 and 4.09 on top the problem remained. More remarkable: no DGenerror file to be found. That was also the case on the many previous occasions. It seems DGen makes the Campaign go into failure but does not register the failure. Only the Debriefing file shows something is wrong. For instance in my latest try out: the file reads the player has been killed while I scored two kills and landed safely.
Question is right now: what can be done about this strange "bug". I also think other IL-2 fanatics have the same problem. I launched a question about the DGen.exe error on All Aircraft Arcade Index and it was read many times, but no one replied. There is something going wrong and I think it is serious. After 31 re-installs and try outs to exclude every bad running program possible (Registry Booster, AVG anti virus etc) I came to one single possibility: the latest Windows XP update.
Everything I tried turned out badly. Even a new install from the DVD without any updates or Mods gave problems after two or three missions.
Hopefully someone comes up with a sollution. I strongly believe I am not the only one in the IL-2 world who has this problem.
