AHII will not launch
« on: August 20, 2004, 09:19:02 PM »
Howdy all (Skuzzy).

Situation:  Downloaded and installed AH2 twice with same result.

Double click shortcut, setup launches (resolution, etc).  White screen... back to desktop.

Successive tries result in white launch window and then CTD.

Tried both with and without Waffle's sound pack - no difference.

Vitals:

P4 2.0Ghz
768 MB RAM
Ati 9600 128MB (ati2dvag.dll driver ("Cat 3.4" I think?)) Most recent driver, AFAIK.
DX 9.0B
No antivirus software running

The system Im runing is a canibalized Dell... so Ive got a Turble Beach Santa Cruz sound card... driver - as far as I can tell - is "sc_4193"

Any ideas?  Had no problem running AHII during the first couple phases.

Ill keep this updated as I try new ****.

Have you made sure to check your firewall and grant access to AHII?

Delete the contents of the cache folder in AH2 directory.

It's kind of a pain because you'll get the long pre load bar as it replaces all the graphics but it might help you out.

I had to do this right after the patch to get things running right.

Hope it works for you too.

Its not a firewall problem - nothing been changed on the connection or the computer and I used to play the game without issue.

Just deleted the contents of the cache folder ("Version") with no improvement.

Bad shortcut maybe?

Delete the desktop shortcut, open the AH2 folder and create a new one to the aceshigh.exe file and drag it to desktop.

It's worth a shot.

No change.

The contents of the short cut read as follows:

Target:  "C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II\aceshigh.exe"


Start in:  "C:\PROGRA~1\HTC\ACESHI~1"

Could be.

Any you other guys that are having troubles run WinXP with the new sp2 update?

So far the only thing I see is that you all have in common is ATI vid cards.

I decided to try Aces High, downloaded it, tried to run it and had exact same problem. My vid card is a Radeon 9200. Guess this is the problem, oh well, lots of other online games to play.
