AH3 starts installation then crashes. Have I became obsolete?
« on: September 27, 2016, 10:45:27 AM »
Hi chaps!  :old:

Proceeded to download AH3 to see if my system would support it, at least ofline. All went well until I started the installation. It starts but around the terrains d/l crashes. Maybe I have finally met obsolescence.  :( Tell me the blunt truth. Here's my DXDIAG below.

The system does not meet the minimum requirements for Aces High III.  The CPU is below the 2.4Ghz minimum required.

Windows XP must have 4GB of system memory and a video card with a minimum of 1GB of dedicated video RAM.

All other operating systems, after Vista (Vista is not supported), require a minimum of 4GB of system RAM and 512MB of dedicated video RAM.

The game crashing is simply due to a lack of hardware resources need to start the game.

Wish I had better news.

WOW! I haven't seen anyone using an SDRAM/DDR hybrid for a long time!  :salute

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

Thank you Skuzzy. I was afraid that it was the end of the road for this machine.

I'll be back. Keep up the good work!
