I have been trying to get Lowengrin's DCG utility to work on my machine and in the process, I have eliminated many console errors related to missing paint schemes, etc. But some errors persist. With all of my mods enabled, IL-2 running a DCG campaign crashes, giving the following windows error:
In an attempt to solve the problem, I have Googled it extensively, but there are few references to this issue on the net. I have tried what advice is available, variously a) reverting to old video drivers, b) reinstalling Java (although at least one post claimed that Il-2 does not use the Sun Java Run Time, but uses it's own version), c) installing the safe DLL files that came with Ultra Pack, and d) tweaking driver-side graphics settings. The errors and crashes persist, but they seem to happen most frequently on two maps--the West Germany 44 map, and the France 44 map, and the crashes only seem to occur when using Il-2 DCG which involves a large number of planes, and ground objects, even when the settings are toned down a bit. 0xc0000005 refers to a memory access violation and I have tested my RAM which seems fine (thank goodness). I have read on some forums that certain objects in the game can cause "memory leaks" and that certain maps themselves, even devoid of objects, can cause them? Is this true?
In an attempt to narrow the problem down, I have tried running the game on those maps using IL2-DCG with all mods disabled, running a freshly updated version of Ultra Pack 2.01. The game did not crash, but the tell-tale errors are still in the log.lst. Here is the log file...

"NTERNAL ERROR: HierMesh: Can't find chunk ..." Appears to refer to files related to a plane or planes in Ultra Pack where the game engine cannot find the file it is looking for. Probably not a serious error, but then, being ignorant of such things...?
The "INTERNAL ERROR: Str2FloatClamp() - Clamped 4096 -> 512 (delta = -3584) to Range 1..512" errors seem to be Java related and having to do with texture size and some variation thereof. ?
As the game goes on and more happens, more planes spawn, objects are destroyed, fires break out, etc., these errors occur continually and multiply until, apparently, the game just gives up and quits.
Is there any official word on errors such as these? Is there any knowledge base for Il-2 errors--which are serious, which not, what to do about the latter--on the web? I have not found one, which I think is unfortunate. If such existed, for example, I would not be bugging you all with this request for information, explanation, and clarification.
Anyway, Console Errors anyone?
Code:
Faulting application il2fb.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x44fe754b, faulting module Opengl32.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bda4, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000517e, process id 0xa94, application start time 0x01cbe1d1aed26e80.In an attempt to solve the problem, I have Googled it extensively, but there are few references to this issue on the net. I have tried what advice is available, variously a) reverting to old video drivers, b) reinstalling Java (although at least one post claimed that Il-2 does not use the Sun Java Run Time, but uses it's own version), c) installing the safe DLL files that came with Ultra Pack, and d) tweaking driver-side graphics settings. The errors and crashes persist, but they seem to happen most frequently on two maps--the West Germany 44 map, and the France 44 map, and the crashes only seem to occur when using Il-2 DCG which involves a large number of planes, and ground objects, even when the settings are toned down a bit. 0xc0000005 refers to a memory access violation and I have tested my RAM which seems fine (thank goodness). I have read on some forums that certain objects in the game can cause "memory leaks" and that certain maps themselves, even devoid of objects, can cause them? Is this true?
In an attempt to narrow the problem down, I have tried running the game on those maps using IL2-DCG with all mods disabled, running a freshly updated version of Ultra Pack 2.01. The game did not crash, but the tell-tale errors are still in the log.lst. Here is the log file...

"NTERNAL ERROR: HierMesh: Can't find chunk ..." Appears to refer to files related to a plane or planes in Ultra Pack where the game engine cannot find the file it is looking for. Probably not a serious error, but then, being ignorant of such things...?
The "INTERNAL ERROR: Str2FloatClamp() - Clamped 4096 -> 512 (delta = -3584) to Range 1..512" errors seem to be Java related and having to do with texture size and some variation thereof. ?
As the game goes on and more happens, more planes spawn, objects are destroyed, fires break out, etc., these errors occur continually and multiply until, apparently, the game just gives up and quits.
Is there any official word on errors such as these? Is there any knowledge base for Il-2 errors--which are serious, which not, what to do about the latter--on the web? I have not found one, which I think is unfortunate. If such existed, for example, I would not be bugging you all with this request for information, explanation, and clarification.
Anyway, Console Errors anyone?
