Looking rough.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet on the new terrain engine. No guarentees that it will play fine on older computers, but no guarentee that it won't either. At worst some players might have to upgrade.  

I am in the crowd of lower end computers, but I am not fretting yet. I know when HTC is done with the update they will post new minimum required specs if needed.  And like Spikes said, computers are becoming more affordable to play games like Aces High. HTC has taken care of this community for over a decade making sure to keep everything playable on some of the oldest systems. I highly doubt they will alienate that part of the community at one of their biggest moments in their companies existence.


<S> and I hope to see you return when able.

<S> Man. I have no problem with 15 bucks but this damn updates gonna wreck my computers compatibility with the game. Thought this was the one game to stay a lower processor worthy game. Guess no!

There is a decent chance it will actually run smoother because HTC is abandoning support for systems that lack shader 3.0? on their video card.  They said that, what, less than 20 players logged on last year with a system that lacked it.

My PC will be 4 years old this May... And with the shader support it runs better than ever.

I wish my computer was 4 years old.

It just turned 11...

Are you planning a Bar Mitshvah? I'd be happy to cater the event 

[Sunka]

Depends how game goes. New update wont be good on my game play. Game just is not the fun its been in the past. Cant afford new machine. Or new stick. Even the 15 bucks is getting spendy for me, lots of family issues going to. If it happens i leave. Farewell. Been a good 10 years! Like I said things may go for the better!  Cya in the sky's for long as im around!

You don't want an update,you cant afford 15$ a month ,cant afford a stick and you think the game play is no longer fun.
Just sounds like you should move on at this point,and go make some money.

Hope it works out for the best <S>. If my current processor meets the minimum requirement for the game now 1.80GHz, will the updates make it obsolete?

From Hitech last November:

FYI I develope on a 5 year old + environment.  Intel CPU E8400 3.0 GHz and a 9800 GTX video card.

What speed is your current CPU?

[XxDaSTaRxx]

I need a new machine already. It may have been built in October 2013 but buy geeky standards it's outdated. New graphics cards and processors were released that make mine look like dirt.

But I get 60 frames in Aces High, so I have a feeling this PC will stick around a lot longer.

[TOMCAT21]

I hope it works out for you in the end, Peanut. I guess time will only tell with inevitable update.

My current setup is the same 8400 but a GTX260 and it runs AH just fine.

 I would definitely give HT a chance. He seems to have an ability to code things in a way that are pretty efficient for what we are doing. Maybe you can get by with a graphics card replacement.  I recently upgraded mine and have a pretty good one i would send you.

... Im not tech savy and my vid card is part of the motherboard.... Is there a way to open it up and switch it?

[Tinkles]

Depends on what system you have.

Go to Start - Run  then type in Dxdiag and paste what it says here.
