There was a recent patch for IL2 1946 version 4.12.1. Below are the instructions to update your game so it will be compatible.
If you have already updated IL2 1946 to version 4.12.1 and installed HSFX 7.0 do the following.
1. Disable all mods using JSGME for HSFX 7.0, start game to make sure that 4.12.1 appears at load screen.
2. Install 4.12.2 patch available here
forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=40926 to your 4.12.1 game folder
3. Start your game to make sure 4.12.2 appears at load screen.
4. Download and install HSFX Client Updater to your IL2 game folder, found here
dl.dropbox.com/u/26976891/HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXE Follow these instructions:
HSFX Auto Updater program
This program automatically updates your HSFX installation with the latest files. This is a small C++ program, that when run, checks on the HSFX master
server for a list of HSFX files and their MD-5 checksums and compares them with your IL-2 files. If there is a difference in the MD-5 checksums, the updater
downloads the new files to your computer and copies them to the correct folders and overwrites the old files.
First it runs jsgme and automatically de-activates all active mods, then downloads and installs the new files, then runs jsgme. You then must activate the
mods you want to use. At a minimum you must activate HSFX history.
When you are notified that there is an update available, you must run HSFX_Client_Updater.exe for the personal PC version or
HSFX_Server_Updater.exe for the server version, that are in your IL2 root game folder.
You will need the installation program described below to install this.

Auto Updater installation program
This program installs the Auto Updater. It is a 5.5 Mb. download.
It's named - HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXE. It's available at the link below.
dl.dropbox.com/u/26976891/HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXEThis program installs the Auto Updater executable onto your PC and updates the .INI file it uses, with the path to your IL-2 game folder. It is crucial
that you install the Auto Updater into your IL-2 game folder, which is the Folder where your il2fb.exe is. It cannot work any where else.
This installer will install either the personal PC version or the On-line Server edition.
Included in the installer is the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86). This package needs to be run to install the support files
required by Visual C++. (It is possible that this has already been loaded when you installed another program, in which case you get the message
- A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable was found was found on the computer. In this case, you don't need to install the runtimes.)
You will have to add the Auto Updater to your start menu, or create a desktop link to run it in the future.
If you have more than one installation, you must install the Auto Updater in each of the installations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Once you have installed the Auto Updater, navigate to your game folder then run the HSFX_ Client_Updater.EXE and your game should be updated to version HSFX 7.01 ( when HSFX is enabled in JSGME).
We will be using this version for the upcoming SEOW Operation Cerberus Campaign.
If you have not updated your game IL2 game to version 4.12.2, patch to 4.12.2, then install HSFX7.0 over 4.12.2. Then install the HSFX autoupdater and run. The game version will be HSFX 7.01 in the load screen.
