I did upgrade to a new computer and was on the telephone with High Tech when I bought it but still having problems. I also miss alot of the guys and gals that quit because their computers could not handle the new version or they did not like it." Oink Pigs" will stay on a little longer and hope HT will fix this mess.

I go to services on my computer & shut down messenger from there.  That helped me in AH1, don't know about AH2 yet.

I got on the night before last, and a new patch was up.. so I downloaded it, as the little bar increased I sat there and thought to myself, "well cool, they have fixed some bugs, or made something work right", but it was only a new range icon...
sigh..
Why are we getting patches to create a new icon range when the game is still bugged up???
I kinda feel like I'm paying 15 bucks to help debug a beta now...
I have heard alot of folk on the BB say this "isn't a box game", well right you are, a box game is usually debugged thoroughly before its release and there is a clear understanding of the system requirements needed to run the game. It isn't my system, I have tweaked and cleaned and updated drivers and even ran a system restore to try to get my end of it worked out, something I would not normally end up having to do. I don't mean to sound so negative but I'm fairly frustrated.

Twitchy: The range icon took about 2 mins to implement, It just happen to be included in a patch. The patch was only for bug fixes, have you looked at the readme's.

In fact have you installed Patch 4. Notice It was released on a weekend? And if you expect AH to play nicly with popups. I don't belive you will ever be happy.

Ya know when I first started flying AH I had software issues.My computer would run it just fine but I had to clean up the reg and other things to do so.I thought the game was porked till someone filled me in on how to fix it.Sounds like aLOT of people have a mess on the HD or other issues with there computers and just want to place the blame on AH instead of looking inside the box and finding the issue on there end.Guess some just like to  complaign.:rolleyes:

The pop up was just one of several issues I have run into with AH2, and no I cant read the 'read me' cause a bug causes the squad MOTD to cover it up when i sign on.
What does being released on a weekend have to do with it, are you guys normally closed on weekends (just asking)?
Like I said guys, I LOVE the game, I have been playing it for years, but yes it has bugs that need fixed, bad. I kinow you guys are catching alot of flack and getting a load of complaints at the moment, but don't get defensive with legitimate complaints, instead let's figure out the bugs, squash them and get everybody back up and running. About the only response I have seen so far is "it's your system" or "It's spyware" or "you need to upgrade"... I have done all I can do on my end, I have run spyware detectors, I have cleaned my registry, I disable my antivirus, before I play I open task manager even and end everything useless, I defraged it, I updated drivers, i went so far as to restore my entire system for this game. I can't do anything else. I can't run out and buy a new system or a new video card, hell a gallon of milk is four dollars here now with three kids chuggin on it. My end of the bargain is to pay 14.95 a month and to have a decent system, I am willing to go the extra yardage and give you guys feedback, report bugs, etc. I don't want to quit AH2, I want to see it fixed. I'm willing to give it time and feedback to help, but as a customer, I feel I have a paid for right to be disgruntled with game bugs and it is my understanding that this forum is to discuss things. If I'm wrong than I will happily delete my post, cease my feedback and close out my BB membership, If I am right, then how about asking me what other problems I am having and lets figure out what and why and fix them.


Drdea..
Yeah your right, I'm sure it's my system (which runs every other program I have ever installed on it fine) It couldn't be game bugs... :eek:  :rolleyes:

I was wondering when when kewassa and assosciates were going to get on this thread and bad mouth...
I refer you to my earlier friend..
"As far as this BB is concerned, just about every thread that gets started here becomes a festival of belligerence and affrontiveness and many of you seem to delight in making personal comments about the poster being a whiner or what have you. I'm pretty well sick of that attitude, and to those I would say to you to grow up and let people express an opinion without the cheap shots and obnoxious whiner rhetoric. This post is an expression of my opinions regarding AH2, if you don't like or agree with it, then that is fine and dandy, but if you can't come up with something relevant or perhaps non-confrontational, start your own "I'm a jerk" thread and have at each other... You guys don't seem to realize that we set the standards for this community by our posts, let people voice an opinion without personal remarks for once, you might be suprised at the improvement. I don't know about some of you, but I was taught to respect the opinions of others."

Just saying that people with lesser comps are running it ok.It has to be some sort of software issue I would think.

The squad MOTD has a close button then the Arena MOTD has another close button, or is it "OK"
But both are clearly legible...After closing either one...

Erm.... you can either read the readme when installing the patch.... or all Readme files are in your AH directory - latest is "readme2004.txt".  :)
