    Cliffs of Dover Blitz-Will not Run

    I Have continually tried to get this to run on my machine. I select a quick mission, the flight loads for about 20 seconds then CTD. I have uninstalled so many times (and deleted the folder in users) but nothing changes, it still crashes. Its the only game that does this?, I run XP11 easily on high settings no problem. The game itself sits on its own partition on a separate SSD. My specs are as follows:-

    i7 7700 OC @ 4.8ghz
    32gb RAM
    GTX 2070 black edition
    Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

    Any ideas as I would like to use the game

    Re: Cliffs of Dover Blitz-Will not Run

    Suggestion #1 ( Let's start from here trying to help you )

    - Uninstall the game via Steam.

    - Check that effectively all the folders related to the game have been deleted ( Both in C: and Documents folders )

    - Install the game but don't start it

    - Go to the Steam game proprierties and select " Create a desktop Shortcut " ( If you notice that Steam haven't already done it )

    - Once done try starting the game using the desktop shortcut just created

    - If it doesn't go to Steam game proprieties and select " Check game files integrity "

    - Once done disable the Steam overlay

    - Check also that your antivirus program is not blocking the game from running in any way

    - Try again starting the game but instead of playing a single mission try to connect to an online server ( In the case it works, it means that you were using a corrupted single mission file )

    - In case of troubles after following this procedure please report here again as much precisely as you can ( Add screenshots or video of the problem noticed if you have them available, this will help a lot ), thanks!

    Re: Cliffs of Dover Blitz-Will not Run

    Tried all your suggestions but still no joy. I tried every option in single mission and its all the same, I get past the map, it loads, the one I chose was Bomber intercept, it lets me fly for 10/20 seconds, I can bank left/right, climb/dive, but the moment I hit the gun trigger it freezes then CTD. Campaign doesn't load at all, I select Fly, it takes me back to mission brief, then CTD.

    I'm baffled, as a matter of interest does it have to be installed on the C drive with Windows? I ask because I install on a separate partition on another SSD

    In theory you can install it everywhere you want. The fastest is the device, the better will run the game and the more quick will be your connection to online servers.

    Do not be afraid mate one step a time we'll find the solution!

    Suggestion #2

    - Try install the game on your main drive C: and partition ( Better if on it, it's running Win 10 and it's a SSD ) so we can understand if it's a drive or game issue

    - Report back after this trial, thanks

    Do you have the original "IL-2 STURMOVIK CLIFFS OF DOVER" installed on Steam?

    If so, please uninstall it.... only Blitz Edition should be installed.

    Are you running any 3rd party graphics programs? If so, try turning them off.

    Finally, please have a look through the pinned topics at the technical forum at 1C for the most common causes of crashes or failures to launch:

    sounds to me that the problem only apears when jumping into 3D enviroment.

    I`m sure you have already done this, but check also your graphic adjustments:

    • Start again with basic settings.... like 60Hz etc.
    • Stop overclocking graphic card/RAM....sometimes (when too hard) it can cause problems between interaction of CPU and GPU and the game crashed when jumping into 3D enviroment
    • Check DirectX status..everything updated?



    Good luck
