I missed day one fun, but when I installed the update today something went wrong. I didn't pay much attention to it, I think it said something failed. I clicked on the AH icon and I got a strange error box to appear. It said "Initialization failed with -9mainWLD_FAILED-1".
Insanity occurred, I hit that icon 3 or 4 more times expecting something else to happen. It didn't. After reading the forums and seeing all the problems I thought, "That's strange, they can all pick arena's. I can't even get that far." I started to post and give up, but no, I read something about firewalls and that jogged my memory about having to re-permission AH after an update. I'd not had to do it before, but perhaps this time I needed to. Nope, nada. That was not the problem.
While looking through permissions I remembered seeing other AH.exe's in there. Maybe my AH icon referred to the old AH version. I'll delete the old shortcut and make a new one. So, delete....hmmmm, only one AH.exe, the rest are updates. So I click on aceshigh.exe and walla * same thing happens, ERROR box. But seeing all those OTHER .exe's joggles my memory and the fact that the first install of the update had a minor problem. So what the heck, lets click it again....poof, it installs, no messages come up. I'm excited! My methadone prescription is renewed! Click that little aceshigh.exe and BAM BABY i'm back at the sign in screen. Pick me a LateWar Arena. BAM everything loads up, and I'm off...to the bulletin boards. I'll let you know if it starts crashing on me, but lets hope the worst is behind me.
Lizard3 out!
