Well It Has Been Working Till Now

[F/O Buzzbe]

Hola,

Ace's High has been working since the beginning on my machine, except now that I have some of my squaddies ready for some serious H2H, it's stop working.

Would appear to be a video problem, I'm getting corruption with vertical lines when starting AH, everything else is fine.

System:
AMD K6/450 with 128 Megs of RAM
ASUS P5A-B Motherboard
Latest AGP Slot Drivers (Aladdin)
Diamond Viper V770 Ultra
Diamond v4.02 drivers for my D3D programs (this is a total pain, since any OpenGL Sims I have to load Detonator Drivers, but for D3D the Diamond have worked best to date)
Directx v7.0a (tried reinstalling)

Normal process is to shutdown everything except "Explorer and Systray" on my machine before starting any simulation.

Any help would be appreciated, also I wanna kick some butt before my squaddies come up to speed.

L8r. and TIA.

Hola,

It's fixed, a most excellent post about Reference driver vs. Diamond v4.01 & 02 driver issues with nVidia video cards (TNT2) on http://agw.dogfighter.com/  under "Hardware and Software", titled "Drivers, performance, benchmarks, etc. by "kbman".

With a Diamond Viper V770 Ultra and v5.22 nVidia Reference drivers, including the registry tweaks mentioned by "NDRTKR" I've had a doubling of FPS in 32 bit mode at 1024x768 (core clk/mem 160/200) and stable to boot.

I reinstalled Directx again and the Diamond v4.02 drivers worked for a few days then died again. Will stick with the v5.22 Detonator drivers now that I have the FPS where I want it.

L8r.
