I was not in-game, just on my desktop in a web browser window and lost power. I kid you not, the cat tripped on the cable! He must have been hanging around Skuzzy too much.
Regardless, reboot, ran a quick HD scan because every time you cold-boot it does that....
No new folders on my C: drive with fragments of recovered files, so I think I'm good. That is, until I see my desktop icon for Aces High is not showing. It's a generic icon. I double clicked it and it says "this is not a valid win32 application."
So I go to the directory and it's zero kilobytes in size.
What the heck? I wasn't even running it!! I don't know how that even happened!
I don't want to reinstall everything, and I tried running the latest patch I had downloaded automatically but it couldn't patch the aceshigh.exe at the end because there's no file present to patch. The file was still 0 kilobytes after the patch process failed.
I'm looking for the 2.31r2 executable (not the current 2.31r3, to which I never upgraded). Does anybody have this? Just the aceshigh.exe, nothing else.
