« on: July 28, 2009, 02:34:08 PM »
I just installed the 2.14 patch on Vista,now I'm sorry I did,the game crashes before I even get to the main menu,is this just Vista telling me I need to go ahead and wipe my HDD for XP or is there something I can do?

By default there are a lot of extra graphics settings that are enabled like bump-mapping on the terrain that will cause frame rates to drop. You will want to readjust everything. Any settings you had made to the old aceshigh.exe will have to be reapplied to the new program (compatibility modes etc.).

Right click on it and select "Run as administrator".  See if that allows it to start.
