1 second screen freezes
« on: Today at 05:08:56 AM »
Been getting these almost every sortie since coming back to the game in May.  Using the same computer from six years ago, but with a smaller, less demanding monitor.  Just cleaned the dust out of the case, to no effect.

Frame rate is 59.  Most graphics settings are off or at minimum.  Turning it all off made no difference.  in 2019, most settings were maxed.

Other skins and download of skins is off.

Seems to be more frequent over water.  Happens most often right at the point I have a shot on somebody.

If you’re not using VR Try using the DX9 version exe.

Yes try the DX9 version of the game, there are 2 ways to do it.

  • Navigate to "C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III" if the game is in the default folder. Scroll down to "aceshigh9.exe", right click and select "create a desktop icon" and drop it on your desktop. Use that icon to start the game.
  • Right click the desktop icon and click on "properties". In the "target" box highlight the "11" and change it to "9" and hit "apply" button in the lower left of that window. When you use the desktop icon now it will open the DX9 version of the game.

There is a conflict with the game and DX11 for some people, and always has been. By using the DX9 version of the game its a work around that just forces the game to use the DX9 in windows. Graphic wise you dont lose anything.
