Thanks.

Re: Beta 5 Crash on startup
Same here, but I got beta5 to work by setting it to NT4 compatibility mode. Right click on the application link icon -> properties -> compatibility. Not a fix and not guaranteed to work, but it has helped some, so it might be worth a try if you haven't yet.

Uhm. That thread is about a different problem - isn't it? I'm talking about a crash when trying to run the program - not that some games don't work (although I got that problem, too the one time the software actually worked). I had the crash problem in the last beta, too.

Point being that, even if you get beta 05 to start running, it currently won't connect to games. So, you're probably better off not spending too much time getting it to run, until we've released a hotfix for beta 05 (soon).

Re: Beta 5 Crash on startup
Ok. Then I will spend my time trying to get it to run, when you have fixed the other problem. Sounds reasonable

Ouch, you're right, just checked in IL-2 6DOF. What's funny though: I installed beta5 on 07/26, got it running in compatibility mode, and spent quite a few hours flying around in IL-2, I was soo happy to get V5 running after weeks. V5B5 did connect to the game at that time, everything *just worked*.
Now it doesnt connect anymore. I did not change anything since I last ran the game. Why did it work before and now it doesnt with nothing changed? This is eerie...

I'm not sure how it could have worked, considering that we know that component was broken. Weird idea, troubleshooting something that's working when it shouldn't. Kinda backwards.
