Initialization failed
« on: July 19, 2018, 12:47:14 PM »
Just now I got an update while trying to go on-line.  After the download and install I cannot run the game.  I get "Initialization failed with -9 mainWLD_Failed -1" error.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do not panic.

It happens for various reasons out of our control.

Simply download the full game (http://dload.hitechcreations.com/ACESHIGHIII.EXE), remove any desktop ICONS for Aces High III, and install if OVER THE TOP of your current installation.  DO NOT REMOVE YOUR CURRENT INSTALLATION.

That will restore everything.

Your solution worked just fine.  The dark hanger also went away.
