IL2: BOS Steam version not loading

[Piloty_01]

Hello,

I recently purchased IL-2, and I’m now encountering an issue where the game gets stuck on the loading screen.

I’ve already tried restarting the game, uninstalling and reinstalling it, letting it sit on the loading screen for several hours, and deleting the startup.cfg file, but none of these steps resolved the issue. I’ve also searched through the forums, Reddit, and the Steam Hub for similar problems and attempted the suggested fixes without success.

The last changes I made before this started were enabling community mods and purchasing Flying Circus Volume I. Since then, the loading bar consistently reaches 100% and stops there. While stuck, ambient audio such as artillery fire and aircraft sounds occasionally plays, but the game never loads into the main menu. Attached below is the screen it's stuck on.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have a similar issue. The game tries to load and stops when it shows a plane in a hanger after the screen shot you posted above. Thats all I get. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game TWICE.

I have a similar issue, since the last update or so, when i Play it for the first time of the Day, it works, when i quit the game and want to play, for Example one hour later, it stops/crashes on a black screen, before the il-2 Load screen with the Logo comes up and the Task isn´t responding anymore also my mouse is gone til i stop the process in the Task Manager, after i start my pc new its working again, so it works only once per session on the pc. Please Help.
