Beta 17 Released: Issues/Bug Reports

[ghostdancer]

Just also went and tested the following terrains in the AH3 SEA. Same routine as before enter arena, switch terrain, get booted out, enter arena, download terrain, spawn and fly.

• avachannel
• avafinrus
• avatunis
• eur2015
• ndisles

No problem downloading, entering, or spawning with any of these. I also was able to enter the AvA arena right now with no problem (it was using blksea).

Before I did any of this testing I went and deleted all my RES files for previous terrains I downloaded so that I got each terrain fresh (had to do a download for each).

Some planes seem to have smoke in the cockpit when starting the engine:  109's, 190's, I16, KI's, La's.

[Shuffler]

CH controls locking up when in combat. Nowhere near speed where any kind of lockup should occur. Crashed only 2 times I upped. Unflyable with new update.

Rifty stuff:

beta 15 - some tiles on the peripherals of my vision can be seen rendering in (ie when i look around I see a line of black diamonds on the sides of my vision)
beta 16 - it is fixed
beta 17 - it is back

radio box and other similar text boxes doesn't render properly unless I have the clipboard up. If I minimize the clipboard it kind of quarter renders one segment which changes in relation to head position.

The Tempest cockpit and 3D model looks atrocious. Waffle needs a beating.

Updated no problem.

When firing the 8" guns on the cruiser there is no "reload" sound.

Thanks ghostdancer, I followed your advice and reloaded blksea after finding the offmap problem still existed on this machine.

Whether I use CMEye or a P51d, when I fly off-map, I CTD. This could be due to my running on an i3 laptop with no vid card, or a weak wifi connection, I don't know but it's repeatable here. I'll test with a stronger wifi connection later but unless it clears up, I won't be reporting back.

Oh, and this was in the AvA.

[Easyscor]

Continuing the report:

This was in the AvA on a fresh blksea download, from A119, flying due North.

I quickly re-entered and the AI must have been off-map because I CTD again. I did that because a dialog had previously told me I couldn't resume flight after 5 min.

The film is 47 sec.

FINALLY!

I'm BACK!!!!

 

Got her all sorted out and back in the saddle!

Ran AHBeta 16 Full Install w\o issues........

Opened it up to the Video Settings box just to see what happens........all came up normal....?

Updated w\ Patch 16 to 17........all went w\o a hitch.

Set all up in Video Settings and entered userID and password and went into game....all went w\o a hitch.

Set up HOTAS and went up in me ole Spitty......aahh the sweet feeling of cartoon flight again is intoxicating after a couple weeks of torture w\ this upgrade.

All working as expected and all looks good so far.

Ole Pudgie is back in the clubhouse!

Not sure if this has been posted or not.
Shooting a CV from a PT boat.  Lit up the tower, LOVE the new flames.  Really like how durable they are.  Sunk the carrier, the flames stayed right on course and kept going

Patch 16 to 17 Update ok, no problem.

[ghostdancer]

Oh, my testing of all the terrains was not testing flying off map and verifying it cause a CTD. It was testing the Terrain download error oboe and bustr got over in the Ava when they entered the arena.

Terrain Download Error
"Problem occurred while retrieving ah3terr/0x00029000.res"

I was not able to replicate that with any of the maps I setup it the SEA. Which means it could either be something specific to the AvA arena or possibly something with a terrain loading up that you already downloaded previously. After I deleted all my res files I only tested blksea and germany for that scenario and didn't get that problem. Also possibly it could have something to do with Mediterranean/ Desert (terrset03.res) tileset or the WW1 Eurpoe (terrset02.res) tilesets. All of the SEA 512 terrains either use Europe Summer (terrset00.res) or Pacific Summer (terrset01.res).


As for flying off the edge of the 4096x4096 height map (which is much easier to do on a 512 map since so you don't have to fly as far to reach the actual edge). Only one that can resolve that is HTC. Either they fix it or say you should't being flying off map in the first place then I would try to make a 32,000 ft ring wall at the edge of the map and move the few bases close to edge of the map (currently within 25 miles) farther out.

AvA get error loading terrain and then app crash.

"Problem occurred while retrieving ah3terr/0x00029000.res"

Able to download AvA terrain and get into arena now. Thanks 

[bustr]

Got into the AvA fine today. P167 is inland and landlocked with no water in the ship berths.

[ghostdancer]

Fixed and new version uploaded for blksea.

The MOTD says you are loading up the Black Sea terrain for free play this week. And the water body in the terrain looks like the Black Sea. But the terrain only has the Terrain Building Team logo on the top left. That tiger flexing his bicep. I looked in my terrains to choose for offline and have a finrus and a black sea.
