IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles and Ace Expansion Pack

I recently got the game and its expansion and when i click on the icon to play it, nothing happens. I tried changing settings, running it from the autoplay, downloading patches, and I tried it with and without the expansion installed. Help please.

This will not help us help you. Please give your system specs, OS version, etc. Then we may be able to help you a little better.

Another thing you may want to check if the manufacturer has a manual patch for the game as there could be compatibility issues. I would also search the manufacturer's support forum as your question may already be answered there.

I already checked for a manual match and I checked the readme and change logs for each patch and none of them mention my problem. Here's my specs:

Windows XP Hpme Edition SP2
AMD Sempron 3200+
ATI Radeon XPress 200
1Gb RAM

With IL2 you have to be careful with the patches. They have two different sets. One is for the standalone game, and the other is for the 'merged' games.


I'm using Il2 FB/AEP/PF, and have to use the patches that have the 'm' tacked on them...now since you don't seem to have PF (Pacific Fighters) installed, I'd suggest that you re-install and patch in this order:

Install IL2 FB. Run the game, and in the lower left corner of the loading screen take note of the version number. If it's v1.22 skip the next step.

Install patch Il2_fb_v1.0_to_v1.22.exe. Run the game one time.

Install the AEP expansion, and run the game.

Install the Il2_fb_aep_v2.01 patch.

Now the game should run.
