Game does not work with fresh reinstall.

go to this link and download the file. Place it in the Aces High III directory with the .exe files.

After some experimentation, i narrowed it down to the stdshape.res file which is generated after install. So it will not be in a fresh copy of the game. Something is going wrong with that for new installs. It probably is IP related. Some process within the game is calling to an old address when its generating that file. Just my guess.  I could be totally wrong.

Hopefully that file works. Its a 2gb download from my working game directory.

Wow, some nice sleuthing there.

Does this mean that every person who downloads the game will get the same white screen when they try to run it??
I'm guessing Steam would have the same issue?

Yes

Think this would be a priority

An update of the update would be nice

The evening numbers haven't been the same since it ran

No kidding


I looked at this file, but thought nothing of it.

Glad it worked for you. I will keep this file in my one drive until this issue is resolved by HT.

Thanks again

The new problem is the game cannot manually download all the maps, like when you want to change terrain in practice offline mode.

If you go to an arena it will download what is loaded, but not manually. I'm trying to get the maps used in MotA to finish a video of it.

What a headache.

I heard somebody say that the training arena and the custom arenas are not working as well?

I zipped up my terrain folder and added it to the same link I sent earlier. I only flew one frame of MoTA, so I am not sure if I have all the maps if they were different for each frame. If not, maybe someone else can share theirs?

If some one downloaded and installed an older copy of the game and updated it
or
installed the newest version over an older install

would they still have the same problem?

What game version did this problem start with?
