post your DXDIAG and we might be able to help more. Superfly has already expressed an interest in this matter

i might just kill my subscrition off if this never works right. why cant we just go back to 2.13?

Use the Windows icon to pull up the Start/Programs menu and in the Search window type "DXDIAG" which will allow you to run the Direct X Diagnostic routine. Allow it to run until the green progress bar disappears and then use the "Save all information..." button to save the report to your desktop. We will need you to post the topmost part of the report to this thread.

NOTE: You will not be able to post it all so post in smaller pieces perhaps as much as the first 1/3 of the information.

I have an overclocked NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+, and I was able to run all the Beta versions, with great results the last three patches. Unfortunately I too had many difficulties today, and I had to go back and re-tweak my system. This is what I found that helped me; if your using a dual core AMD CPU, you need to right click your game launch icon on your desktop and click on the compatibility tab and select Windows 98/SE for the mode to use. If your using a video card below my version you should under game preferences uncheck all except Detailed Terrain. This will put you back to what you were used to using in the old version. Also I suggest in your video card's settings turn off anti-aliasing and the same under preferences in the game. Once again if your using an AMD dual core processor, and your video card allows it, ( such as mine), there is a setting that enables dual core processing for Direct X games. Turn this off. If your using a higher resolution such as 1280 X 1024 with the Hires pack, before you log into the game click on Video Settings on the clipboard and set the Max Texture Size from 1024 to 512. Now my only problem that I hope the next patch fixes is getting booted when using vox. Working together we can continue playing this game together.  :salute

You want to post the first third of the report. It covers the type and size of the CPU, video and sound as both type and drivers.

In your case it may be just a driver issue. Instead of complaining about it, work toward finding a solution and get it working.

I deleted old AH versions except the new one.  I logged in and recieved the new patch.  Downloaded the HiRes Texture pack.

I then went and defraged and now I dont see the bug.

This is the part needed. If you check below I highlighted a section in RED and made it bigger. Your using a laptop to play the game.....never a good idea. Second, your video card dosen't have its own ram so it borrows ram from your system. Your system only has 2 gig of ram as it is so its getting over taxed.

You have to clean you laptop up first, get it running clean and mean. Hit cntrl alt and delete at the same time. When that window opens, click the "processes" tab at the top. In the lower left corner it should tell you how many processes you have running. less is better, in a vista system upper 20's is good. If you have a lot, you useing more of your system to run these other processes and that takes away from the game.

The other thing you can do is turn the graphics down in the game. Sure its not going to look that pretty, but you might still be able to fly.

Maybe we should follow your advice. Jet planes have new problems, so lets go back to prop planes. Oh hang on, when they came out, they had problems as well, so lets go back to Biplanes, or maybe even just forget flight!

Medicine has side effects, so lets get rid of them all!

Dvds skip if scratched and occasionally have bugs in them, so lets get rid of all dvds and videos.

Im sure all PS3/Xbox360/Wii games have bugs in them. Maybe not major bugs, but bugs none the less. Are you wanting to get rid of them?

NEWS FLASH: 2.13 had bugs as well. A lot of them. A load were fixed and then more were fixed, but it still had a lot of bugs! Read this forum for an idea! IT WAS NOT A PERFECT GAME

The Patch has been out for less than 24 hours! COURSE ITS GONNA HAVE BUGS! Now instead of just scrapping god knows how many months work that HT and crew put into this, lets help them fix it. In a few weeks and after a few patches, the game will be fine. Not perfect, because even in this new VERSION (which is bigger than a patch) they were correcting a few bugs reported for many many MANY months! Apparantly even one of the main ones, the LVT dry spawning bug, has failed to be fixed. So how about instead of being so darn pessemistic and stuck in the past, we look to the future and HELP those who are developing it!

Codemant, it could also be something as simple as updating your video drivers.

The problem is the onboard video (Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express) card.  It is not a gaming quality video card and that is the primary cause of your troubles.  You can follow Superfly's suggestion and update your onboard video drivers but be advised, you'll never get good performance using that onboard card.
