Hello.
I'm having problems with the game.
Ever 5 or 10 minutes of flying, the game crashes to desktop, and I get a host connection lost message.
I've tried leaving the game running, and it will stay connected for hours. This only seems to happen when I'm attacking something.
Especially when attacking ground targets. I will be strafing the guns and buildings, and after I take 2 or 3 out, I'll be shooting at another and a buch of sheep flash on my screen for 1/10th of a second or so and I'm back to the desktop with the host connection lost message.
All I'm running is the game itself on windows me, with a geforce3 using the 21.83 drivers. I've disabled everything under startup in msconfig but systray and taskmon, so no other progs are running (other than stuff you can't stop). I also have 786 megs of ram, and am running on a clean install (just formatted the machine and all that's installed right now is aces high, didn't help though).
I've read in a couple threads that HTC is having some problems with their network provider and are working on it. I'm wondering if this could be part of it.
I'm using a cable modem, and doing extended pings I don't see any data loss, latency is always under 100ms as well, but that is with default packet size.
I'm guessing that maybe when I start strafing, the packets get bigger with the extra data and get then get dropped somewhere, then the data loss makes my client go POOF.
I don't get disconnects or have any other problems while playing warbirds 3, or ww2online, so it's an aces high only thing...
Any ideas?
