Eine Video-Anleitung zur Installation des Patches für unsere deutschsprachigen Community-Mitglieder wurde nun hinzugefügt. Es befindet sich ganz unten auf der Seite. Danke an Continu0 für seine Arbeit

Translation of above (sort of):

Now added an install Video for our German speaking CloD players at the bottom of this page, thanks to Continu0 for this work

If you haven't already updated your game you need to follow these instructions to get your version to TF v3.00, wonderfully explained by Philstyle, but before you do please do the following.
Inside your C:\Users\(your username here)\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD folder you will find two files, one called conf.ini, the other called confuser.ini

Copy these to.a.safe location (i.e your desktop or a folder you wont forget) BEFORE you install the patch.
These two files contain all your control.settings, graphics settings, in-fact all the options you have saved for your current install.

Once you complete the patch install, copy them.back to :\Users\(your username here)\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD folder.

Now you have safely saved those two files, here's the patch install video:



Then just install patch v3.01 to the same location you created for v3.00


Patch v4.00 can't be installed over the original game, it has to be Team Fusion's Patch install, version 3.01

There will be a torrent version and a a .zip file version as options for you to download the patch.

The .zip files will be called:

"Team Fusion 4.0 MOD Installer.zip.001"

and

"Team Fusion 4.0 MOD Installer.zip.002"


While extracting the .zip file version you may come up with an error and this has happened with a couple of the testers. Don't give up hope though! It probably isn't corrupted, it's just your .zip extractor can't read it properly (I use Winrar and it said it was corrupt).

If you haven't used 7-zip, download it here:

http://www.7-zip.org/

So-far 7-zip (and they aren't sponsoring us!) is the only one we have found that extracts the file with no issues.


An important note. Once you have installed Patch v4.00, before you run it, go to your; C:\Users\(your username here)\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD

open it and find the 'cache folder' and select all the contents and then delete them. These files are used by the older version v3.01 and could cause graphical issues if not removed before you run v4.00



Cheers, TF

That was plain evilness. "Lets have a look on Cliffs of Dovveeeeer" - He waits screen to load and .... you B$#"$"#$"#$ dont even reach the main screen!

[trooph]

Now now... one thing U have to post original conf files.
I have reinstalled cliffs of dover with my new mashine and i have never ever run vanilla CloD which leads to this it didnt create original Clod folder in 'My documents"

Scrub that I'll just do Clod Integrity check with steam Im just tired of pressing F5 all day long

this was very, very deliberate... just for you Lolsav....

[Mysticpuma]

Yeah, made me smile when I saw that too.
Fair play to Phil as he only put the video together today after realising his offer to do so had been accepted but he never saw the request!



Cheers, MP

Great tutorial! This is a link that I'll be keeping very handy in the days to come!

For those that use the bit torrent, you will get a "4.0 Final" folder - inside are two files 'Mod 4.0 Installer.exe' and 'Mod-v40.zip'. Simply run the 'Mod 4.0 Installer.exe' and point it to your directory. ie. the default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover"

Lastly inside your C:\Users\(your username here)\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD folder you will find two files, one called conf.ini, the other called confuser.ini

Copy these to.a.safe location (i.e your desktop or a folder you wont forget) BEFORE you install the patch.

These two files contain all your control.settings, graphics settings, in-fact all the options you have saved for your current install.

Once you complete the patch install, copy them.back to :\Users\(your username here)\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD folder.

Cheers, TF

MP,

You might want to remind everyone to back these files ups before they begin patching. I'll bet that a lot of folks will begin to carefully follow the directions you've given, only to be disappointed if they realize they should have done this first!

[Mysticpuma]

Agreed, and changed
Cheers, MP

hi

do you need to disable the "EnableHistoricalMarkings.exe (is this compatible with new patch.

There is also user.ini file, there are ammo belts and convergence settings saved !

[92 Sqn. Philstyle (QJ-P)]

As far as I can tell, the patch does not overwrite any config files. Mine all remained just as they were.

But it pays to back them up, just in case.

[Stig1207]

There is also user.ini file, there are ammo belts and convergence settings saved !

For some strange reason my user.ini is is utterly blank, i.e. there is nothing in the file?!

it might be the steam synchronization. if your game is getting user information from the cloud, rather than your HDD

Now you have safely saved those two files, here's the patch install video:

Hey there!,
Small comment: When you say "run the mod Installer" in the youtube vid maybe it would be good to add (perhaps with an annotation) that people should "Run as Administrator". I couldn't make it work until I did that, because my computer didn't let me change files in the C-drive...
Cheers, Oersted

[Valisk_61]

Thanks so much for the vid - that worked a treat

...now to try out 'Cliffs of Doveeeeerrrr'

[dburne]

MODERATOR'S EDIT: Done! Will also incorporate the OP into the Beginners' Section.

Just a quick question about the install. I followed the video, had both mod folders on my desktop and opened the first as per the video and ran the exe. It seems to have installed smoothly and gave the "Install Successful" message at the end. I read in another thread that you had to have both folders in one folder when installing or does it just unpack the second file automatically?

If the two .zip files are in the same folder after you download them, extract with 7-zip.

The line "make sure you have both files in the same folder" refers to the .zip files, or they wont extract correctly.

Installing is done once the above procedure has been carried out and the extraction puts both the installer files together, so there are no issues.

If you have the line "Install Successful", then you have carried out the instruction correctly

[Screamadelica]

Thanks Mystic, just wanted to be sure. Patch is working well, apart from the blurry terrain issue. Thanks again to the team for all their work.

[Mysticpuma]

Now added German version too in the first post, thanks to Continu0 for his help with this, cheers, MP

MP - was chatting with Lolsav yesterday when TS decided to OD - finally got that solved - I will start by thanking you both for your efforts - I spoke with a team of computer experts concerning the problem with opening 4.0 and getting the can open as archive msg - they advised that the only thing they could think of was the file(s) were either corrupted of something occurred during the download which is causing the problem, I was advised to delete and retry the download now that I have the correct 7-zip (64 bit) installed - I did that and with approx. 1hr 50m to go on file 001 the download was interrupted, I clicked on resume and then got the msg that the download had failed - I think we have established my computer skills and you guys have spent enough spare time trying to reinvent the wheel, so until such time as an easier (4 me) version of 4.0 is developed I will have to stick with the campaign single player - tks again - if this issue is resolved I would like the opportunity to apply to your group for membership - K9

[andreyp]

Thank you Team Fusion for your work from Ukrainian virtpilots !!!

[alphapapa]

Well done all you guys. Followed the vid to the letter and it worked first time.

[Flyingscotsman]

Hi I have followed the vid, downloaded new 7zip, got rid of winzip,
Downloaded 2 files,
open zip, add to mod 4.0, but then have a folder that shows the installer, but not an exe, just another zip file that will not open.
Have downloaded the files about 6 times over the last 3 days, takes 3hours for the pair.


Sat PM
Downloaded the files again. I noticed that my system had one of the files a zip2(1) so edited that out.
Put them together in a folder, opened 7zip, open in Team Fusion 4.0 MOD Folder, it ran, I have the folder....but with the same zip file that I cannot open...I'm a patient person, will keep trying. But kinda stuck
Any suggestions?

sorted - In the end I downloaded a torrent, my browser usually does not allow, so worth a try and it worked,
Got the whole thing without the 7zip problem, Hope this helps someone else

Thank you
Flyingscotsman
