Highspeed Dives crashing game
« on: August 24, 2007, 06:40:40 PM »
twice now, I was diving in at high speed and the game crashed on me.  had film rolling this last time.  I need to check and see if it saved it or what.


EDIT: Film shows up to the point where the game crashed.  Would it help to send it or do  you guys have enough about this issue already.

Also, this time I was in a 109, time before I was in a b25.

I had this happen to a squadie. Only it happens everytime he straf's something. It started with towns then V bases and now CV's. He has asked HTC about it but they just kept saying it was his system.

Snap - a few seconds ago, I was diving on a B-24 in my F4U-1, and splat, back to the desktop. The bomber pilot must have thought I had gone mental. I have it on film. The odd thing is that my last recorded speed was 324mph, and I had exceeded this beforehand, although in a gentle dive. When the game crashed, I was going straight down. Perhaps it is something to do with acceleration?

For the record I am using a fresh install of Aces High, which never ever crashed with the previous version of the game; I have flown longer sorties. The only aircraft in the vicinity were two remaining B-24s and a 110; I have "disable other plane skins" turned on.

I was not diving, but 3 times in about 1 hour and 15min. I went black screen, then got the little, Send Don't Send message window. I have not been playing that long, but I never had a single crash like this until tonight :(

My last flight was at 400yards shooting at a A26, then crash. The other two were also while I was in fights.

All 3 times I was flying a P38-J

Had now about 5-6 seemingly random CTD's in various planes, even with a fresh reinstall. :rolleyes:

I had 2 crashes, one after the update and one after high res pack download.. both when first starting the game.. I see the tower view for 2 sec.. then solid white screen, then poof nothing.

I havent had any CTDs since but ive had instances where my framerate hit 0 and the game froze.. then went to about 8fps.. then froze again...

which is very odd considering nothing particular was going on and my FR is usually at 60 and may get as low as 50 under the most taxing of conditions (huge furball over large field with smoking hangars and firing ack)..

EDIT: also when in a tower, any tower my FR rate is very low compared to before the update.. mid 20s to around 30. before it was 60.

I too, am victim of this.  Random planes, but nearly always after turning with high Gs, diving quickly, or strafing.  But sometimes it's random.  

This has only been happening since I updated.

Happened to me a lot of times, too. I have movies of every CTD, but, given the Film bug, they're useless..... :P

I hope they come up with a patch, soon..... it's disturbing to fly to enemy HQ in a Mossie on the deck, pull up, dive back and find yourself staring at Windows message just when you were about to drop your bombs on target...... :p

All my crashes so far have been diving in with the B-25H and when I get close to a gun that I blow up, or a CV my screen just goes white and game crashes.
