Game won't even run at all.
« on: January 10, 2026, 12:29:24 AM »
I just purchased a new computer, went with HP HP OmniDesk Desktop M02-0075t PC,
 Windows 11 Home, Intel® Core™ i7,
 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Meteor silver

The game will not run for more than a few moments then just shuts off. Is there any fixes that you guys might know of?

Thanks <S>

That is the same file that Dale was sending me. What do I do with that file when I get it?

Put it in the Hitech Creations\Aces High III folder, as mentioned above. The main directory of the game
Dale and I are on the same path so it's probably the issue

For what I found with the model name, it features Intel UHD graphics. AH doesn't work on Intel graphics.

So you're saying that I can't run AH3 on my new desktop?

Well, get the file and lets cover that bridge. then whatever we run into next. I'm puzzled why it wouldn't work on Intel. But he knows his hardware. Lets see.

One way or another we'll get you back up, lets see what it will take

Yeah, for what it's worth I asked HT if this new Box would run AH3 and he replied that it would.

A "Meteor Silver graphics card" isn't a specific GPU model, but rather a color option (Meteor Silver) for HP laptops and desktops that often feature integrated graphics like Intel UHD/Arc Graphics or powerful discrete GPUs such as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series or AMD Radeon 800M Series, depending on the specific device (like HP OMEN or OmniBook), with the graphics power varying significantly from basic display to serious gaming performance.
Key Takeaways:

"Meteor Silver" is a Color: It describes the chassis color of HP devices, not the graphics hardware itself, as seen in models like the HP OmniBook X Flip and OMEN Gaming Laptops.

Graphics Vary by Model:
For everyday tasks: You might find integrated Intel UHD Graphics (in desktops like the OmniDesk) or AMD Radeon 860M (in some AI laptops).

For gaming/performance: Look for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (on HP OMEN) or similar,.

Check the Specs:
To know the actual graphics power, you need to check the specific laptop/desktop model's specs for its GPU (e.g., RTX 4070, AMD Radeon 860M).
Examples of "Meteor Silver" Devices & Their Graphics:
HP OMEN Gaming Laptop: Often comes with a powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop

GPU,.
HP OmniBook X Flip (AI PC): Features integrated AMD Radeon 860M Graphics,.
HP OmniDesk Desktop: May include basic Intel UHD Graphics 730,.
So, if you see "Meteor Silver," check the full product description to find the actual graphics card/GPU listed, for example, on {site_name: Best Buy or {site_name: Newegg https://www.newegg.com/hp-16-1/p/1TS-000D-1JS67}.

Might need a dedicated graphics card if your video is on the motherboard..

The power supply will have to be strong enough to push the video card..

But if HT said it would work ...

Post a DXdiag report. That will show what your computer has for hardware and we will be able to see if it can run AH.

If your not sure how to do that, CLICK HERE for and explanation on how to do it.

Well... As the HP product page says, "play your favorite games in 720p, without the need for a dedicated graphics card."

And, as the Minimum requirements say, "2) Generally speaking, many onboard video chips may not meet the hardware standards to operate the game. "
