OK also......Now this may be related to "Stability" but I have had to learn to live with these little inconveniences.
These are old problems that I think are Windows related. They may have started when I began Modding, but IL2 has always had a quirk for me in one form or another. So the relationship between MODS and OS may not be clearly defined. All of these occur even after fresh installs, noting makes them Go Away...
Problems....
1. When clicking the Icon to boot game and the splash screen pops up, the Windows task bar does not go away until I click the mouse once or twice during the boot. It will stay put like it refuses to go away.
2. Occasionally the game will boot two instances, I tried to defeat this by right clicking the icon and the left clicking the OPEN selection, this is sketchy. It has only happened once or twice in the last month or so. When it does I usually have to re-boot the computer.
3. When/if #2 does not occur after the the first splash screen the game menu appears but there is NO mouse control, is there a command I can use? I worked around this by hitting Ctrl+alt+del for the Task manager waiting a second or two, make sure there are NOT two instances of the game and then close T.M.
I will then have mouse control.
But recently the game does not come back after closing T.M. it crashes. I will restart it go through all of the above, but I will have mouse control in the game menu this time around...annoying as hell....
4. Sound: This one is real irritating. After a system re-boot, if I do not go into control panel and bring up Sound and Audio Devices>Audio>Advanced>Performance> and bring the slider down one notch for "Hardware Acceleration" Click Apply then OK I will get this terrible re verb effect in game.
I don't know what else to do with these, I hope they are simple settings that I am unaware of.
Feedback anyone please?
Thanx
