  • copied files from Steam version and overwrote duplicates.  Both DX9 and DX11 versions now run but hang on arena exit

At least while it was running I did not get the micro pauses.  Will try DX11 and see if I get them again

Some of the maps will hang for some when exiting. <ALT> F4 takes you right out of it. I think it may be a memory clearing issue in the map, but not sure.

Thanks Fugi,

I think the bigger issue is not being able to launch the game.  I will have to just stick with the Steam versin but that does not allow me to use DX9.

Plus, possibly the bigger issue, if I cannot launch a new install then how many other potential new players have the same issue?

Cheers

The membership does NOT cross over from Steam to the AH clients site. It is two seperate memberships. Maybe that is why you cant load up.
