Im done with this test boys.  Everytime I touched the vox button the game froze.  Prior to today, I unloaded every non-essential operation I had.  I've torpedoed the game and reloaded it.

Then it is not the beta that is crashing your system.

When you test the beta is gives you a different start-up icon. If you don't want to use the beta, use the original start-up icon you have on your desktop.

The game doesn't make any changes to your computer, beta or other wise. So going back to the original game icon/start is like you NEVER used the beta. If your having problem being IN the game on the beta then it is just coincidence that your getting crashes and/or dumps when your not in the game.

There is more than this...there was an entry in my system registry for the new sound exe.

windows will create reg entries for any executable you run

Tried to go back to the standard AH, everytime I hit the VOX button the computer freezes, online or offline. THe FMOD appears to be working ok though, while I have experienced the frame rate drop and the short freezes in the video, everything else appears to work fine. How do you remove the FMOD?

ChangeUp, will you run the beta, and then go into the sound configuration and change your mic selection. Then see if the vox still locks up.


Also Aces High does only 1 thing to the registry, and that is put it's installation path there. The beta release did not change anything in the registry.

The only thing the beta touches that is any different the the release is the sndgrp.cfg file in the settings folder.
Delete settings/sndgrp.cfg will return you sound card selections to default installation.

The beta release simply places 3 files into you Aces High folder and adds 1 short cut.

I blew it all away.  I tried to keep all my folders but when I reinstalled last night, it kept trying to download beta2 over and over.  So I crushed the whole thing.

I did change the mic and restart, speakers and restart, mic and speakers and restart multiple times.  If you want me to load the beta again. The fresh install isn't a problem.

"it kept trying to download beta2"

This makes no since to me, the beta2 does not update anything.

I found through trial and error that your "Mic" source choice under your "Speakr Layout" choice can crash the game when you press the VOX button. Less often your speaker layout can do this.

When I switched between the beta and the 2.29p5 executable these things would get changed. I found when I set the beta so pressing the VOX button didn't crash the game. Then went back to the 2.29p5, the "Speaker Layout" and "Mic" choice would be different from what I set befor exiting and running the beta.

Often when I set the speakers and mic to what I configured in "Windows" in the beta. When I went back to the 2.29p5 the speakers would be "Use Windows Speaker Configuration" and mic would be "use primary driver" or something like this. Sometimes the reverse would happen going from the 2.29p5 to the beta. I just got used to checking my sound setup before I pressed the VOX button.

The beta installs in moments. Before going into it, copy down your sound setup choices under "Speaker Layout" by running 2.29p5 and inspecting them knowing they are the ones that work. Then make sure those are your choices when you run the beta. If your mic source is wrong the game will crash when you press the VOX button.

Beta and Bug testing with an ongoing feature like this is frustrating and annoying if you really aren't intersted in beta testing. The whole process is supposed to P you Off so you can help the programmer fix it. Not take it personaly and treat the programer like this is the released product with a horrible bug he missed to screw you. We all know some of us get screen freezes when you press the VOX key. And now we all know if your mic source is wrong, you get an executable error dump to the desktop when you press the VOX key.

Did this HT and 2.29p5 runs fine with no crash when I use VOX. Thank you.
