Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
That is a very old game from 2001, was that game previously working on Windows 11, or did you perform a large update like the 24H2 update on Windows 11 before the game stopped working?
IL-2 Sturmovik for PC has stopped working on Windows 11, how do i fix this ?
