New Patch Log-In Glitch

[ROX]

Downloaded the new patch today, went through it, installed, no problem.

Chorus:  Go to open the program and fly and I get to the arena clipboard and for a split nano-second the "allow aceshigh.exe" screen comes up, disapears almost immediatley...screen freezes up, mouse pointer disapears, program freezes, "an error has occured", I send the message...who knows where that goes.  Reboot.

I went in and made sure that the game had access in the firewall.  It does, great...Chorus.

I went in and disabled my firewall completely for an hour, clicked apply....Chorus.

I went in and disabled my firewall completely....Chorus.

Any idea why the AH pop-up screen to allow access through the firewall box comes up for almost as long as it takes to blink?

Thanks!

ROX


Oh--PS:  I cannot get into any arena in the game.

I get the "scehigh.exe" error message too.  I uninstall it and reinstall the game.  Now i have this issue:

[ROX]

I guess you and I can play poker until we get an answer since we cant fly.

You call it...

Texas Hold-Em or 5 Card Stud....

It may take a long time before we get an answer.

Don't bet the kids college money.  I call stop-loss at max of $200 a day until we can play again.

If we go broke before that let's play Go-Fish.

Rox, is it just on connect up that it freezes?  Can you play in offline mode ok?  Any other security software installed on your system?


Oakranger, to reinstall you need to get the base download and run that.  In the screenshot below, it looks you're running a patch and not the base download.  The patcher can't patch what isn't there.

It's just like normal until I choose an arena (any arena besides offline...which I normally never go to--it does allow entry to offline...but...).  When I try and exit out of offline it's freeze-up--lose mouse pointer and "an error has occured with aceshigh.exe"....ad infinitum.


I have nothing other than Mc Afee...whic I have disabled the firewall for completely.

Each time I try to get into an online arena the AH "Hey would you like to allow HTC access through the firewall" box pops up for less than it takes to blink an eye then is gone.  A meth addict couldn't click the box fast enough before it disappears.  Then...the blue "error has ocurred" box of death appears and it's dog chasing tail.

It seems to be some sort of glitch with the HTC "would you let Aces High allow access through the firewall" box glitch.  I bet if I was able to be allowed enough time to click that before it blasted off into space at warp speed it would fix the problem.

Opening up my firewall to the planet does not fix it.

PS--THANK YOU for responding on your own time...do not think it went unnoticed or unappreciated!

Just as something to try for troubleshooting, fire up the game and before clicking the online button, grab the window and move it out the center of your screen where you were seeing that dialog flash.  Then click the online button and see if the dialog is there now or if it still just flashed briefly.

Tried, as instructed, 4-5 times and each time it did not nono-secondly flash the "allow Aces High Access To Firewall" box...it just froze up and went to "program is not responding send Microsoft a message" box.

The last time it froze up the mouse pointer disapeared completely--even for the task bar---and I had to totally re-boot (again).

It will not allow me to enter any online arena.

The "allow Aces High Access to Firewall" box appeared for the first, say, 20 times I tried to get in and the last 4-5 is now absent.

Yep, that is what i did.  Ok, so i download the right patch and now getting the "acehigh.exe" file error again.

Getting the same message when i go on the offline arena too. 

[ROX]

PS-- When I first click on the AH desktop icon it does acknowledge that is version 2.23 as if it recognises the new patch.

It's when I click on any online arena that it goes immediately into the freeze-up mode.

I hope I am being decriptive enough.  I know that any tech that knows software needs as descriptive as possible a depiction of what exactly is happening.

PSS--If I go to say SEII and don't already have the map it downloads the map, and then goes back to freeze-up mode.

I'm having the same problem. As soon as I pick an arena I get a windows message that AcesHigh.exe has stopped working and it crashes. The game will run offline so I took up a B-29. Everything was fine until I dropped eggs and the game did the same crash again.

Quick bit of DxDiag if that helps:

How do you get your DxDiag

[ROX]

How do you get your DxDiag

Computer

"RUN"

Then type in " DxDiag"  without the quotation marks.

Some versions of Windows do not support DOS type commands.

Then again, I am not a computor expert so my advise is worth $.02 cents.

Trying to help, it is my being...not hurt or make fun of.   

Iffin' I was an expert I would have my own aircraft carrier by now.   

Seriously--hope Pyro can fix this.   I cannot even fly now and I am going through withdrawls.

I am on the same boat with you on computers.   

I play less and less to the point that i do not miss playing.  Have other things to do to keep me busy.

Having many problems with this patch. Going offline and get to the hanger....as soon as I select anything...it freezes and makes a god-awful loop sound. At first I thought it was the B29...but it's anything I select.
