Due a connection upgrade at HTC, IPs have changed, a fresh install/reinstall cannot acquire a needed file.
The file download below is the 'stdshape.res' file (1.9gb in size) which is generated after installing and first startup of the game.
It is assumed this will be necessary until the GUI is updated, or the old IP within the game is redirected to the new IP on the server.
If you have a copy of this file you won't need to download this one.
Go to this link and download the 'stdshape.res' file. Place it in the Hitech Creations\Aces High III directory with the .exe files.
You can also download many terrain maps that won't download manually in game.
