    IL-46 4.11 will not launch using Radeon 7970 GPU

    Help please - just bought a Radeon 7970 to replace my 5870. Just swapped out the cards and installed 7970 drivers. When launching IL-2 1946, it begins to launch until the little icon appears in the tray at the bottom of the screen, that is where it stops. I opened task master and Il-2 is not listed as running and it is not listed in the computer process page.Played IL-2 yesterday without any problems but after switching the cards, the game will not launch. .

    I went into CCC and set all of the 3d Application Settings to the same as when I had my 5870. All of my other games are working included IL-2 CLOD, only Il-2 1946 will not launch. Ran DXDIAG but nothing was reported as a problem.

    I will attempt to launch 1946 in safe mode and see what happens.

    The only changes that occurred was the switching out of radeon cards associated drivers. i appreciate your assistance

    Thanks for the quick rely, but sadly, no, I have the same problem.

    Follow-up

    Ensured directx 9.0C - 11 drivers are installed.
    Started in Safe mode and was able to launch the game (not playable in any sense of the imagination but the game started)
    Uninstalled ATI driver designed for the card and installed Catalyst 11.12 from Guru3d. This particular driver has support for HD 7000 cards. Unfortunately, again the game does not launch. All other games do. These include games several years old to IL-2 CLOD.

    It appears to be a driver problem as with my Radeon 5870 that the Radeon 7970 is replacing, ran Il-2 1946 without any problems.

    A couple of more test:

    "Il2set.exe" does open
    Attempted to open with HSFX enabled - no change
    Attempted to open with UP3 enabled - no change
    Changed compatibility mode from Window XP to Windows 7 - no change

    This is strange, the problem is strictly with Il-2 1946. I do have strategy games from 2004 which open so I do not believe it is a an issue with directx compatbility.

    Error log found within the game folder (I did not realize these were created within the game folder)

    An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

    Are you sure these are the correct values for the screen resolution?

    Yes, this setting is equal to my screen resolution. I have used this setting for the past couple of years without problems.

    A few things come to mind.


    At times in the past, both ATI and Nvidia had a driver/drivers which caused CTD (Crash to Desktop). This could be one of those times so suggest an older driver that is known to work.


    I didn't understand if you uninstalled the 5870 first, shut down, and then installed the 7970. At one time, it made a difference. (A dxdiag would help determine possible system errors, if any.)

    Also, is this a modded or straight install? A mod may be causing a conflict.

    Steve,

    Yes, I first uninstalled the ATI driver completely before removing my 5870 so when I put in the new 7970 I had to install it's driver. A clean install.

    I tried launching a straight Il-2, a HSFX mod version, and a UP3 version, all had the same results

    Steve, I failed to answer the part regarding installing an older ATI driver. I attempted to install the official release 11.12 driver which failed to load the video driver because it does not support the 7900 series video card. I attempted to load the 12.1 preview driver, but again the video driver itself did not load. I finally attempted to install Guru3d driver as identified above which has support for the 7900 series video card, however, this too failed to resolve the problem.

    Between each driver install, the previous driver was uninstalled - reboot in Safe Mode - ran registry cleaner - reboot to windows - then installed the next video driver version.

    Using the ATI 5870 video card, both the 11.12 and the 12.1 preview driver worked. This was my first attempt with using the Guru3d driver as I had no need for it beforehand.

    Does anyone have access to the AMD/ATI forum who can post this? I have been trying to register with Rage3d but due to the SOPA issue this past couple of days, I have not received my activation e-mail.

    Thanks everyone for helping me through this
