Common thread to folks now having crashes from AH???

[68falcon]

blue arena crashed 4 times within approximately 35 to 40 minutes.  Using Windows 7 64 bit

This is looking like it is my ISP. Have them coming out Monday to check for problems.

No disrespect to Skuzzy and the crew intended, I'm sure they will work out the bugs, just aggrivated that it seems to happen to me as I line up for bombing run or jump in a perk plane. I  for the fixes to come soon. Amen

Dont slap me, but it looks to me like the problem can be triggered by maps.
I get lots of crashes on a few select maps (both mindanao MA, and mindanao scenario, germany scenario map as well) but notably not on lake uterus (sfma).

Will ritual sacrifice of a few nvidia (or microsoft) developers help?

[denniswilha]

It mainly happens to me on map mindanao in the main. Been online and playing today, not on that map, and havn't crashed all day, will attempt Mindanao again later tonight.

From what I hear, this problem has been fixed. What was the cause?

[vafiii]

New patch, new problems. End of discussion.

[Skuzzy]

New patch, new problems. End of discussion.

I have no idea what that means.

Delirium, the patch does not spcifically address the Windows 7 64 bit problem.

It means on Monday my computer was able to play Aces High with no problems. After the patch on Tuesday the game was unplayable. I shouldn't have to reconfigure my computer every time a patch comes out. I love the game and your support is excellent but I'm amazed the patches are not tested "in house" and the bugs ironed out before being released. Surely a test can be run on various types of systems, low end, high end, etc., before being released? Testing new patches out on your customers doesn't make sense to me. Thank God it's a video game and not an automobile.

[Skuzzy]

Describe "unplayable", as that is pretty generic.  Plays fine on every computer I can get my hands on, including a very low end Celeron with Intel video chip in it.

The patch was trivial and we test all patches before they go out.  If the patch was the problem, every computer (without fail) would experience the same exact problems.

i am also experiencing problems with my game after installing the new patch, im no computer genius but my computer worked perfectly before the patch and then kaboom!!!!  patch installed and there goes my 75 frame rate right down to 20's, its not a windows problem, im not changing any settings on my computer, there is a problem in the patch. its not a java problem!!!!

Hooked up new my system last nite. Windows 7 64bit.

Downloaded and installed the game and have had no problems.

I have everything maxed out and anti-liasing up bout half way for now.

Flew last nite for about 40 minutes and tonite for about an hour. Frame rate is a steady 60.

Using a i7 with an Ati card.

[vafiii]

Unplayable as in frame rate dips into single digits every 5 to 10 seconds causing lock ups and stutters. Normal frame rate at 40 in MA Orange arena. I'm running windows XP not 7 and the problem started immediately after the patch. Prior to the patch everything was fine.

i had my first ever "AH exe has stopped working" crash last night LW Blue, been playing this for over 7 years, it happened after the patch as well as a lower frame rate, before the patch my frame rates were in the triple numbers at maxed settings, now just double numbers sometimes dips as low as 32, i know some of you think well 32 is an OK frame rate,  not when your running a SLI'd system with 2 XFX 295GTX's, like i stated it never dropped below triple digits before the patch  my OS is xp pro64, newest drivers, guess ill wait a couple days see what happens, i might have to roll back my video drivers to find a better suited one

                                      exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    dont do a thing im sure another patch is coming out to fix the problem that dont exist, im thinking if the new patch can be removed from computer if framerate comes back to normal.      Forget that idea i cant remove it

Happened to me tonight also.

Thought I might get lucky.

Didn't.

Orange arena, in a field gun at A-19, cursor froze, then a few minutes later I got the enevitable message.

Windows 7 64 bit, i7 930 , Ati 5870. Frame rate was a steady 59. Everything maxxed out with anti-liasing up bout half way.

Not sure if I should even bother posting a DX-diag report as there have been quite a few of those already.

I'm sure the problem will be addressed and resolved soon.
