Hard Reboot when making a kill

Hard Reboot when making a kill

It's reoccurring, that as I see the explosion of the plane I'm killing, and my rig does a hard reboots. It hasn't occurred on the first kill of the game session, yet.
The film (cropped to the last 15 seconds) doesn't show the explosion in this clip, it stopped recording just as it happened. I can upload the ~20 min. film if you need it.

I had auto download of skins turned on, which I usually keep off. This was early war, ndisles.

so much for Easyscoring...sorry couldn't resist  :rofl

on topic I would uninstall aces high, run a chkdsk, and reinstall. My guess would be that the sprites of explosions are corrupted. Your graphic settings seem very high for your computer also, did you try with 512 textures ?

Yes, I've always pushed my rigs hard, but with only 19 background processes, you can. My frame rates stay above 25, mostly 35 to 45 with no stutters. Terrain builders want to see what they build.  ;)

Me system is pretty clean but I'm a furballer and I need to have good framerate at ALL times :) 25 is not enough for me. Anyway check your installation files, they could be corrupted.
