2 questions, auto skins download and shutting down AH.
« on: July 18, 2012, 02:32:16 PM »
As topic says, I have two questions unless I come up with another before I hit post.

1] If you have all available skins downloaded already, does the 'auto download skins' checkbox become disabled?
I think that's a 'No' but I am unable to keep my checkbox checked for 'auto download skins.' Maybe a bug?

2] When exiting Aces High and you get to a window, is it OK to close the game with the 'X' in upper left opposed to hitting 'Quit'?
I know an abnormal shutdown may corrupt files, so just asking.

and I remembered my 3rd question.

3] I heard there is a new desktop icon for Aces High. I do not have that and am still able to open and run the game with the old one. I do see new icon in the list when I hit my 'Start' button. I'd rather have the new desktop icon also.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Did you try "change icon" in the old icon properties?

No, wasn't aware of that option as I've never come across this situation. It did work and I have a new icon. :)
We can scratch #3 off the list.

3.  My Icon hadn't changed (that I'm aware of), until I shut my computer for the night.  Next day-New Icon...  :)

1] As far as I know, I had all skins downloaded, and I see that I'm getting skins as I play the game; I didn't check to see if that checkbox was selected.
2] I've done it with no ill effects, but try to use the Quit button most of the time.

This did not work for me, but FLS's suggestion did.
