[Pyro]

Can you verify that you're not getting the "Host Connection Lost" dialog box?  What do you have your video settings and graphic details set to? 

[olds442]

i got worst i got the infamous "blue screen of death" *shivers*

[TwinTail]

Its not a host lost connection error.

"program has stopped responding" is the error.

All graphics turned up except for shadows and new Bump surfaces. Ground bump is on.

No graphic options were changed between old version and new.

[Pyro]

What is your antialiasing set to?  If that's turned up, can you turn it off and see if the problem persists?  If not, can you try reducing the object distance range in your graphics options and see if that causes a change.

[TwinTail]

antialiasing is at 0

[TwinTail]

Seems new Version is downloading into Hitech~1 folder instead of Hitech creations.

[TwinTail]

Reinstaled game to new folder, everything the same as before......crash.

[SCABIUS]

3 time for me since new patch today

[TwinTail]

Game seems to crash when Detailed Terrain and Water is enabled. I had both enabled before the update without issue. Since update, 7 Crash to desktops and counting.

[Tigger29]

Mine just crashed when trying to up an A20 at a base with a lot of cons flying around.  I got the film from it.

It was NOT a disco.

I also get severe FR hits when flying close to a hill at times.

2048textures+hires, all graphics options on except shadows and except local water reflections (disabling LWR raised my frame rate from about 35 to maxed out at 60).  Sliders maxed, ground clutter OFF while in flight.  I actually turned AA OFF in AH before I ran the update for the first time.  Wanted to see how well it would perform with ground clutter with it off and go from there.

Here's another film for another Frame Rate issue problem I ran into.  Long film but it happened towards the end (I saved it right after it happened).  Right Click/Save as: http://www.lca.ympsa.com/frhit.ahf

[TwinTail]

Anyone having this issue and wasnt before the patch, try disabling Detailed Terrain and water or 1 or the other and see if it fixes. Hoping its something in the patch that is causing it and can be fixed.

[MachFly]

I started having the same problem after the update. Does not say "host connection lost" or anything, AH just crashes.

I can provide any specific numbers from my system if you guys need, but given the number of people that I having these problems I don't think that my computer has anything to do with it.

[Greebo]

I got the same "program has stopped responding" a few minutes in to the two flights I tried yesterday. After the game crashed the desktop was whited out except for the task bar and the error window. Both times the error occurred as I was entering a dogfight near a V base. I flew the betas offline for quite a while testing skins with no problem, but never online.

My video settings are set to 1920x1200, auto set FOV, texture size 2048, AA 2/3 to the right. On my first flight I had everything maxed on the in-game settings except for self shadowing. On the second I turned all the bump mapping settings off. I will try turning down the other suggested settings tonight.

Here is a link to my Dxdiag info.
