How do I uninstall mods (to start again)
#1

I am having CRT-2 failures after 4.08m/1.1/couple addons/1.2

What is the best way to uninstall the whole shebang abd start again, right from 1946 CD?

I see IL-2 1946 on my add/remove programmes but it is only listed as 4.6Gb and 1.2 is 18 Gb. What do I do about the mods?

No need to re-install the whole game usually,just delete or rename your MODS and your Files folder.

Then run UI 1.2 again and it will create a new MODS folder and new Files folder,it will ask to overwrite the switchers ete and you will be good to go.

I am actually running two sets of MODS and Files folders in the same game,one set is UI 1.11 and the other set of folders is UI 1.2
I can play either version by simply renaming my folder sets,which takes about two seconds!

"MODS1.11.org" and "File1.11.org" is the way I name my old 1.11 install folders when not in use,
I rename the MODS to MODS1.2.ORG and Files to Files1.2.org when I want to go back to using my 1.11 folder set,
which I then just remove the 1.11.org off the end of there names and there then my MOD folder sets to use.

I renamed my old 1.11 folder sets to blahblah1.11.org and then I installed the UI 1.2
So far everything works fine and I have had no issues.I did the same when we all went from UI 1.0 to UI 1.11 and then to UI 1.11 :wink:

So you could just delete your MODS and files folder and re-run the UI 1.2 or you could re-name them and run the UI 1.2

It will work either way

Woah, wait a sec, deleting or renaming your Mods and Files folder is fine But, if you do that you must first re-install 1.1 then 1.2 . just making sure you get that right and you can use Jones Soft Generic Mod Enabler if you want to switch back and forth between mod installs, much simpler than all the renaming and you'll have less headaches

If you have your game already patched to 409b1m, then all you need to do is delete the Mods and Files folders. Then you can start from there by adding the UI 1.1 and the UI 1.1.1 , then the UI.1.2 patches. I dont have 4.09 official patch installed thats in a separate game install....I had problems last night trying to connect to Spits and 109's modded server and did exactly what I just explained and it worked flawlessly....

I see me and FA Bong are on the same brain wave.... :wink:

Yes and actually the 1.1.1 patch isn't necessary it's already in the 1.2 I just had to do it this morning because my one clean install for CRT=2 was not working in WoP servers so I deleted the Mods and Files installed 1.1, 1.2 and it's good to go. :thumbsup:
