DA hanger bug?

[Tyrannis]

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

so are you saying i should delete the terrain folder, everything within that folder, or just specific things within that folder?

also what is the DA terrain called sir?

just go ahead and delete all the terrain name.res files in the ahiiterr folder

the DA terrain is called ahdueling.res

here is the Aces High Terrains download page:

http://www.hitechcreations.com/downloads-terrains-art.html

you can manually download all the terrains and install them yourself....... or the game will automatically download and install the terrains for you when you click on any arena that might have a new terrain loaded that you do not have in your ahiiterr folder

if you decide to download them all yourself... the Terrain name.exe files will automatically self-install the terrain.res file for you in the ahiiterr folder.... you don't need to go changing anything or changing the default installation path... just let it do its thing  

hope this helps

tried it just now (deleted the dueling terrain, turned avg off, went on aceshigh and redownloaded it) still doing it.

is my only option now to re-install the game?

I honestly can not give that an Yes or a No answer.......

go to www.ESET.com and use their online virus scanner to double check that you do not have a virus ( I am assuming you checked with your AVG antivirus software you already have installed )

their could be any number of things that could be the problem causing your PC to freeze up in the DA or freeze up in the EWA when selecting a plane......

it could be as simple as you have to many processes running in the back ground while you are playing Aces high, to something as bad as one of those "Root Kit Viruses" deeply inbedded into your OS or memory or whatever....

did you provide a DXDIAG report for Skuzzy or anyone to look at???  I don't call seeing one....... what you are thinking is a DA Bug as you titled this thread, could actually be a bloated Windows OS.......

is time to go back to square one with reporting the issue. and copy & paste a DXDIAG of your PC system

also go ahead and double check your anti-virus program by going to www.ESET.com and using their free online scanner....
