I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes-
OK, I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my game is glitching. It just started today, so I'll go through what I did in the hopes that someone can spot what I did wrong-

I have 1946 v. 4.08, with the sound mod and the flyable bombers, and the default skin mod, plus a couple others that I can't remember.

started computer

went into filelist.txt and added entries for , I added these lines in between the lines for "summer" and "winter" folders.

saved modified filelist as filelist2.txt, then copied/renamed original filelist, renamed "filelist2" to "filelist.txt"

went to il2set.exe and changed sound settings from "soundblaster live settings" to "custom" and set "playback channels" to 32, and left everything else the same (but I went back and changed this back to the "SB live" setting, and it was still glitching)

started game

went into FMB and created a quick mission in the Desert online map, flying as BF-109F-2

And that's where the trouble started:

the first time I flew the mission it was fine, but then the sounds started going all weird (no or very faint external sounds, interior sounds sounded thin and just plain weird),

then, the third time I flew it, the lighting/textures on both the map and theplanes started going all screwy, i.e. the gunsight turned white and there were weird yellow patches inside and outside

so I closed the game, deleted filelist2, renamed the original back to filelist.txt, and reset the sound settings back to the original.

restarted the game

tried a different mission- still weird sounds, and some graphics problems.

So- what did I do?

Hi JAYPACK44,

I am no expert but since no one else has replied I will tell you what I did when I had a similar problem, basically everything started to go to s**t, but I solved it although I repeat, I am useless with pc's.

Do a full system restore, to the point BEFORE YOU DID THIS. Every time you download somthing, your pc makes a 'restore point'. Go into system tools, restore, you should get a calendar with the dates that you can restore. Start with the eariest date, it takes five minutes to restore your pc, if that restore still has the same issue, KEEP ON restoring your system, I had to go back like 2 weeks, i lost practically no stuff, ie i had 99% & problem was sloved.

I'm sorry if this is something that you already new or did, but since there was no reply, i'm just trying to help with my own expirience.....good luck :wink:

Restoring will not damage your pc at all, and you will always be able to restore to your original point if your not happy..... :wink:

Happy new year to all.
