I went to log on to the game today and it had an update (Il-2 site) and it tried to download and failed. The game will not log on. I'm afraid to uninstall the game for fear of messing the whole thing up, also I don't want to lose my control mappings if I can help it.
Anyone having problems similar problems? Any suggestions?

Re: Game update and won't log on
On the game forum there are instructions to
If you have 'failed to update' message in the launcher, please close it, navigate to the installation folder of the game and delete the folder called 'updates' and backup data/startup.cfg file (it contains your settings) and data/luascripts/snapviews folder if you altered the default camera...
hope this helps.

Re: Game update and won't log on
Hi Saintt, thanks for the response.
I opened the "update" file and deleted all the ones with todays date, and tried to start the game again. No Joy... it downloaded the update again, and again it read "failed update".
Should I have deleted all in that "update" folder (rather that just today's dated files)?
I don't want to go down a spider hole and cause myself more trouble.

Re: Game update and won't log on
Ok, I had this problem (both at home and on our server). To resolve I:
1) Made sure IL2 wasn't actually running
2) Deleted the the *entire* update folder
3) renamed startup.cdg in the data subdir to startup.bak
4) Ran the launcher - which successfully patched
5) Deleted the startup.cfg file that the patch had created and renamed startup,bak to startup.cfg
Worked for both of the machines.

Re: Game update and won't log on
Roger, I deleted the entire "updates" folder, and that worked. Thanks gents!
