The New Update
« on: November 11, 2018, 05:23:29 PM »
a little over a week ago, my video card died, and I dumped the AH3 file(I wish I hadn't now) and reset computer to factory specs so I can still use it, it got another video card same type as old one. and booted up and works good. mean while HiTech released this new update, now my computer down load part of the update in 48-60 minutes-but then when (stdshape.res comes up it shows 4 hours but after about an hour it stops downloading and shuts down my screen and I hit the on switch it says program timed out, and there is no resume to start it back up. I did this operation 12 times Std.shape stops about an hour every time. can download thru Steam in about 3-4 hours. but I don't want to go thru Stream I will lose my callsign and all my stats. maybe its my internet 758 kbps-but in game I ran 50 ping rate. I was able to download AH3 with it I can download it on Steam, why won't stdshape.res won't download on my computer, am I doing something wrong? Phone number 210-636-4100-if anybody has any ideas. or post them here.

I unload both my virus protectors-turned auto windows down load, turned off firewall. here is my computer stats-

It might be your Internet speed, or rather the limitations of your Internet Service Provider. Further, if the nominal rate is 768 kbps, does it fluctuate with the amount of users having a similar connection from the same ISP? It might be helpful to know what it says for download speed when it's downloading the stdshapes.res. For comparison when the issue hit me the d/l speed was some 40 kbps, estimated time 10 hrs. Another attempt went in 20 mins at 2 Mbps on a 20 Mbps connection.

Your in-game ping rate has nothing to do with your Internet speed, it just tells how long it takes for your input to reach the server and send a respond, depending on the distance. In layman's terms it's similar to an echo: You shout Hello! and in a while depending on how far away the opposite canyon wall is you'll hear your voice bouncing back.

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

For the interim, you can do this.

Download AHIII3400OLD.EXE

Once it is installed, then you can let it patch itself to the current release.
