THe New update downloaded but will not let me online. Aces High just closes and I'm back at my desk top. Any thoughts?

Yes, I have the same problem.

Here's what happens more precisely:

The program starts, and I'm able to get to the arena selection screen.  Then when I try and select any arena, I get a brief flash of a "Loading pre-cache" box, or something like, and then I'm staring at my desktop.  I've tried changing my video resolution: same deal.  I've tried enabling pre-load of the textures.  This produces a slight change: I stare at the preload box cycling for a few seconds, and then boom, I'm admiring my icons again.

P4, 2.66Ghz with 1 Gig of Ram

I cannot run the new version either.  I get an error message saying that Aces has encountered a problem and will have to close.  Suggestions?

I just downloaded the full version + Hi-Res pack and skin pack.

I installed these ontop of my old AH install, and now it works fine.

So there is your solution, I guess.

Probably some error in the upgrade download.

It's the same for me.   During the patching, I got an error message that debris.wav couldn't be opened.  After the patch I started AH and watched the Preload Tex Memory with all the .tca files.

Then  I get a crash to desktop before it completes.  Watching it over again it's always the same 3 files in the update that kick me: WLDCYMP_512.TCA, WXTREP12_512.TCA, and XTC1_512.TCA.

Hope this helps

Are all you running with maximum texture size set to 1024?

I am looking for some commonality.
