DA hanger bug?

[Tyrannis]

hey skuzzy, i went to the DA this morning, but every time i click on the hanger the game freezes. its done it three times. i usually have to open task manager to end the game.(and even then it takes about 5 mins to get the game to truly exit from the white screen). how do i get this to stop?

its still doing it, i can access the MA fine, but i freeze every time i click the hanger button in the DA

Do you have an older version of the high resolution texture package installed?

Set the games "Maximum Texture Size" to 256 and see if that fixes it.

Possibly a corrupt DA map file?  Not sure the name of the file, but it should be easy to figure out in your terrains folder.  Maybe deleting it so it will re-download next time will fix the problem.

well, i do have avg anti-virus. its never affected the game before tho. i DID recently download the company of hero's game. could that of affected my ah settings in any way?

AVG has been known to interfere with the game.  Other games should not impact us, unless they are replacing system files.

then should i disable it before i play the game or is there a better way to get around it?

I use Norton and everytime before I start up I turn it on Silent Mode.  Helps a little.  Make sure if you get off the game and go onto the internet, that you turn it back on.

hey skuzzy whatever this is thats giving me this problem seems to be spreading, before no other arena was doing this except the DA hangers. now my game freezes if i go into EW and click on a plane to use. its done it three times so far.plus its also still doing the DA hanger freeze. i had avg turned off when i was trying these things.

could it possably be a virus thats causing these things to happen?

[Skuzzy]

Sure, a virus can cause a lot of odd things to happen to any application.

i scanned my computer and it said no viruses detected.

i have no clue what to do next  pretty much i cant fly in the DA or EW.

Tyrannis,
you posted you use AVG Anti-virus on your PC

this has been known to post AH files as being "False-Positive", meaning AVG is thinking that Aces High or some Aces high files or terrain.res files or even patch updates are infected or are viruses...... when we all know they are not

if your AVG accidently marked one or some of your AH files as being malware/infected/a virus and kicked them out or quarantined them.... it would be fouling certian things up in the game or could foul everything up totally.....

some suggestions would be.... turn off the AVG anti-virus and go and download the Dueling arena Terrain.res file or better yet

go to your C:\hitech creations\Aces High\terrains\ folder and delete your terrains

then log into Aces high and let it re-download the terrain.res files  to see if this clears it up for you......

outside of that would be to back up your settings folder, your sights folder and any other folder you may need and do a complete un-install of Aces high then re download Aces High game and do a completely fresh install............ but leave the AVG anti-virus turned off while doing so......

hope this helps
