Lowengrin Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I recommend trying a different campaign. Gazala was created for DCG by a fan and I have not thoroughly tested it. That or something may have broken over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog1 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hello besides M4T and SAS is there anywhere else you recommend to download up to date DCG campaigns . i am finding only very old ones at M4T and almost nothing at SAS . i am mainly interested only in the early pacific conflict New Guinea Guadalcanal Solomons BOB and North Africa . Modpack 412.2m or default 413.34 compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowengrin Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The early Pacific Campaigns that come with DCG should work fine. I often debug new code using them. I've been working on and off on a full Solomons campaign since Christmas, but it has a ways to go before it can be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog1 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 hello, i have the following problems: using the pilot name jack i am playing the guadalcanal campaign and into the 4'th mission . i then started 2 new campaigns and 2 new pilot names . when i start any of the 2 new campaigns with any of the new names or the name i use for the guadalcanal campaign at start the game freezes and flickers. trying to start a new campaign i also get the message to decide wether to delete existing campaign career or select a new pilot either way the game does'nt start wether saying yes or no selecting a new pilot for the new campaign. pls advise on how to proceed. further today i tried the solomons 42 DCG with new name and it starts with Tulagi mission . DCG choses offline career mode in settings and when i click the start campaign mission button the game freezes .also i tried clicking generate mission tulagi in DCG window before going to the game and the inter not a value window appears again ?, please explain what is causing all this , i am using Modpack 412.2m . i then added DCG to my 413.3m copy and selected a DCG campaign with same result , all freezes at start of first mission window .

Lowengrin Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm not familiar with the Modpack but there is a chance it's impacting if it changes the logfile created by the game. And if it changes the logfile, that would explain the crashes with the "interger not a value" error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog1 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 so far i have generated the following using 413.4m il2 default and the following are all working correctly. DCG Wake 41 1941 USN DCG Guadalcanal 42 USN DCG New Guinea 1943 USAAF DCG New Guinea 1942 RAAF when i generate a campaign in the Solomons Solomons 1942 RAAF or other nation and chose an aircraft , at clicking the start button the game freezes and i have to log out . Is there a kind of log file for DCG i can generate with CFG maybe to see the error ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowengrin Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 There is no Solomons campaignwith the stock game which is probably why that is happening. (I've been working on one but it's not complete.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog1 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 hello i picked the Solomons 42 from the DCG drop down list when generating a campaign its the last one at the bottom of the list , the difference i note in the start up is it says " player defined " . therefore the following campaign folders i have in the folder drop down in DCG Campaign Squadron File: Britain40_GB Guadalcanal42_RA Guadalcanal43_RA Solomons42_UM are all third party imported by me ? any folder there is always third party ? i did the following test this morning i picked New Guinea 42 from the DCG campaign list and generated a RAAF campaign, it says "player defined" under the new campaign , i then proceeded to play chose an aircraft and it freezes again. i tried it again several times and this time i pressed generate mission before starting the campaign just to see what happens and i get the integer warning sign again .

Lowengrin Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's probably best to just start out with non-player defined campaigns; the ones that are mapped to stock DGen campaigns from the game. Also, check that you have a "MASTERS" and "DATA" folder in your IL2DCG folder. If you extracted the files from the zip without keeping the folder structure, you will be in for major headaches.
