textures not appearing
« on: January 20, 2010, 10:41:25 PM »
recently when i log on to AH the clipboard is pure white and when i log on the terrain texures do not appear, nor does the water, runway or trees.

i have tried reseting the textures and uninstalling a installing the game but the problem is still there.

any suggestions on how to fix this?

Yes you can start by posting details on your computer. What hardware, what OS and which drivers installed.

A Dxdiag will get us all the pertinent information to provide more targeted debugging advice. Just to confirm, are you executing Aces High with administrative rights (you select this in the executable's properties)?

There is part of your issue right there:

        Card name: RADEON X1600 Series
            Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
            Chip type: ATI display adapter AGP (0x71C2)


Onboard chip...you're probably gonna have to turn your in game graphic settings down to start with. I believe there was a driver issue as well, did a search on that video chip in the tech support forums and several people described some issues with textures loading.

Just a shot in the dark, try this driver version = 3v.8.252 omega

Also, your page file is huge...just sitting idle it shouldn't be more than 300MB with anti-virus running...might want to check your processes and kill whatever is not absolutely needed for daily use.

Since you're using XP you won't need to worry about it. Thought you were using Vista / Windows 7.
