Well: I backuped EVERYTHING including my conf.ini before uninstalling, the entire game folders (3 versions).
I applied the changes you named, thanks again..
But still nojoy. GFX changes persist. I had only installed a 4th version incl. UP 2.1 and histomod, then switched installs by renaming folders.
I made sure the conf.ini was no factor by using various versions that previously worked.
I believe it is a registry/IL-2 deinstalltion to reinstallation issue.
I always had this issue when uninstalling and reinstalling IL-2, I know it sounds illogical, but I do remember. Maybe XP SP2 thing with regs and IL-2.
I now made sure my backup HSFX installs are safe and renamed, uninstalled my last testversion with the DVD uninstaller,
deleted ALL IL-2 registry keys, then uninstalled LOMAC (also Ubisoft folder and registry entry).
Next I will uninstall my Ati package inlcuding registry strings, reinstall my Ati driver, reinstall IL-2 1946 and patch up to HSFX4.11, restart bewteen every step and defrag 3-4 times. Then I'll see how my backup will look ingame.
Cannot think of any other steps to do, at least I know my backups have the exact same settings they always had.
Problem might be I put out the last game folder "IL-2 1946" out of the target Ubisoft folder before uninstalling, thus probably keeping an additional registry key while uninstalling an empty folder as per SAS advice for multiple installs(?).
Anyway, s**t happens. :o
Cheerio and thanks again.
