aceshigh11.exe has stopped working

[truck5co]

Hi, haven't been able to get in for a week or two. Game loads, I get to the arena screen, no matter which arena I select it starts to load for a sec then I get the above error message, restarted puter but no change. Any thought? Thx ESU

You can try the DX9 version of the game and see if that loads. Navigate to C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III if that is where you installed the game and double click the "aceshigh9" exe file. That will start the game in DX9 mode and see if you have the same issue.

same error message except aceshigh9.

OK, I'd download a clean version of the game and install it over the game you have now. The new install wont mess with any of your settings but may fix a corrupted file that could be causing the issue.

[truck5co]

Will do.

tried it, no good,,, same message,

What are your graphics settings?

[truck5co]

1440 x 900

Is it a laptop with dual graphics? If so, ensuring that the game starts with the more powerful graphics device might help.

Just a wild guess, no guarantee...

negative, regular old desktop,,,, worked fine till after the last update I believe,,,, what should the graphics be set at?

The game should use the "real" video card if there's two of them, usually an Intel for desktop use and an Nvidia for gaming. Some desktops may have those, but it's quite rare. It's mostly seen on laptops.

As for the settings for a gaming level video card, AH is built to use the default settings, advanced settings being done from within the game.

1 video card, home built system...Any more thoughts? Uninstall and re-install?

if your not sure how to post one.

Once you post that maybe we can spot some other thing to suggest.

Which browser did you use for downloading the game when you installed it over the existing one? Chrome has been causing issues for the download, so another browser would be preferable.

I don't use chrome.
