AH test version
« on: February 29, 2012, 02:43:37 PM »
We have a test version of AH with some fixes we've been working on. We'd like to get some people to try out before we release it for real.  We're looking for any performance or stability issues.  Please note that Alt F4 does not work with this version.  It will work again when we do the real release.  

This test version has some changes to reduce the memory footprint and make it a lot harder to run out of memory.

This fixes a crash bug that can happen when you're logging onto server.

This uses a new terrain downloader that runs at a much faster speed.  


To run the test version, download it directly into your HiTech Creations\Aces High folder and run the file acestest.exe.

http://downloads.hitechcreations.com/acestest.exe

Thanks in advance for you help.

Also please move all or some of your terrains to a different folder or delete them . And then test the new terrain download portion. It should be a GREAT deal faster.

The program cant start because mss32.dll is missing from your computer.

You need to place the file in your Aces High folder.  If you run it from somewhere else you will get the missing mss32.dll error.

 something is wrong with mine as 1 item doesnt download on the contril i screen and the right side of my 3 monitor set up doesnt display properly.

here's a picture using my cell phone as if I take a picture from with ah (alt s)  it looks normal.

on this one you can see water on the floor and grass on the sky.



here's showing number of items to load.

Ran the test version tonight with no problems. Didn't have any problems with the regular version either.

And what are your current advanced settings?

When I try to adjust the "Ground Detail Range" ,up or down, the mouse freezes for about 15 seconds and the says "Disabling Advanced Graphics" offline.

When on-line in the LW Main arena I get the same messsage and then "Stop Receiving UDP. Switching to TCP" message.

When going back to non test version of the game wheather trying to go on or offline, I get the preloading box for about .1 seconds and then the clipboard cycles back

over and over again. Reinstalling AH2272 fixed that problem. stdshapes.res did take a while to reinstall.

XP SP3 32bit, E8400 CPU, GTX260 w/182.5 driver 4GB RAM Nvidia settings are Application Controlled. 1920x1200, 108 field of view, 1024 textures, 1 notch of AA

object and ground detail about half, display horizon is the only box checked, in advanced settings all are checked on except local water and self shadow, 512 shadow textures


As a side note. the only way to get out of the game when the mouse freezes is to reboot the computer.
