Cry Babies!

Hey!  Thanks for the... uhm help or uhh insult or something like that!  Ya, that's it!  Woopee!   

It is far from an insult and merely the harsh reality.   Just like the split in AH2 Beta.   Same whines from those expecting their outdated systems to be catered to, instead of trying to reach a middle ground.   I actually applaud Fugitive for having the balls to post it.

WoW!....

Fugi be careful, they are going to confuse you with me after this. You won't change what they feel about the whole game upgrade with logic, stats, facts, or even a cameo by Hitech pasting in 1000 lines of code.

Look at it as, "you" obviously must be fortunate to have a PC that will run the new game while they don't, since you are laying down the AHIII law on them. And the rest don't want to hear about anything other than their mondo game whomping rig is das bomb running the beta. Or, Hitech has finally validated for them that he has always been a dork and a goat screwing them, and doesn't know anything about coding games after all these years. That is, until he tweaks something and everything is fine until the next time he screws someone's expectations about their PC. Ever wondered why he is not as active in the forums as he was years ago? He is screwed coming and going no matter what he does.

Games and PC's are a very emotional thing for men these days.

Can't play on single core processors and onboard graphics forever.

 

say no more sir say no more!

My system is nothing fancy and it runs the Beta pretty good. I built it myself and it cost under 1000 US dollars.

Asus bg85m-g mother board
I3 4130 3.4 ghz
8 gigs ram
windows 7 64 bit.
Asus Geforce GTX 960 2 gb
550 w power supply

I wish I had something fancy like that

Ground to ground graphics are good.  Air to ground graphics view , not so good.  Airplane cockpit gauges have lost their sharpness.  Graphics use to be better but since the last few patches, they have declined in my opinion.  Still beta so time will tell.

I enjoy the game so I am in for the ride no matter which way it goes. 

Some of the anger may be more waited more toward getting booted out of the game as AH3 goes live due to short funds and not against AH3 as a game.  Everyone should keep in mind not everyone has ready cash to upgrade their systems.  We have seen people on this forum that had a hard time justifying the monthly fee.

I think it may be because this game is such a nitch game. You don't see people crying to EA because NHL 2016 has come out that no one is playing NHL 2015 any more.

There were times when I almost canceled my subscription due to needing an upgrade of one thing or another. Family comes first after all, but we always worked it out. Cut back on the beer allotment of other subscriptions be it magazines or news papers or block buster  The point is you do what you have to do. Crying about it doesn't get you any where.

There is never any loss of face admitting this to our community sans a negative attitude. Over the years it has even resulted in players contacting the person to offer hardware in the hopes of keeping the person in the new game version. I suspect Fugi is responding to the players taking a position as a victim about the game change, to license themselves to bully pulpit it Hitech's fault they cannot for what ever reason stay with the game's march into the future. Thin skin comes to mind.

It's easier to blame Hitech than accept the reality.

This is my build.
Asus x99 or z97(something like that)
I5core processor
8gb ram
1tb hard drive
250 ssd
Nvidia 980 graphics card
Windows 10 64bit

I hope this runs well. I have downloaded the first ever beta path and it did not work well. So I just deleted it and never tried it again. I'm just waiting on the final release of Aces High 3!

For what I've noticed reading the hardware section many if not most of the players who can't get playable frame rates don't have a gaming computer to start with. By that I mean that their computers have not been aimed for gaming in the first place, not that they're outdated. People just don't read the minimum or recommended requirements, or they can't compare their computers with those. Not so long ago someone cried that he can't get good frame rates despite his $399 Walmart Laptop being brand new. If someone really wants to play games but can only afford that amount of money there's plenty of second hand high end gaming computers on the market, used only a year or two.

That is an entirely different matter which hopefully only affects a small margin of AH'ers.

[Zimme83]

I have a geforce gt 740m card and i get about the same frame rate in the beta as i have in AH2.

[mbailey]

I'll be out for a while when the switch occurs, is what it is. It's not the money, it's the priorities with the money.  My twins are going to be driving in a few months, so the spare $$$ is going towards that....that and my daughter was invited to study/research in a summer physics program at Princeton this summer. Not to shabby for a HS Sophmore.

[bozon]

We have been through all this before. 

What happened last time? did we make it?

No!This is all an illusion!

But see, that's part of the problem - there ARE no official minimum or recommended requirements for the new version. That's why I waited as long as I did to upgrade, I wanted it to be close enough to feel like I had a reliable indicator that the upgraded rig would run the game before buying something that turned out not to be sufficient. A lot of people will probably wait until the actual release. I hope HTC will publish minimum and recommended system requirements for the new game here and on the front page and give folks a week or two to upgrade based on those specs before shutting down AH2. (I should be good to go either way, I'm just concerned for folks who are willing to upgrade but are waiting for official system requirements.)

To be fair Skuzzy and others have been very helpful when people (including me) have posted specs and asked if they look good to go or if not what they'll need in the way of an upgrade, but not everyone keeps up with the forum.

Partpicker.com is a good site that you can use to help you build a rig. It has a compatibility checker to make sure all your parts will work together and finds the lowest prices for you. I have my list and when I am ready for a rebuild Ill start ordering parts here and there to spread out the financial hit.
