This CTD Problem needs to be addressed ASAP

[crowMAW]

Mine have been random.  And I do not think this is a connectivity issue...I've had two CTDs while practicing offline.

mine are happening in the air ussually just after a busy dogfight/furball match . im swapping views ,looking around alot then it seams to happen mostly in a right hand turn  as im lining up my next target .(6 of my lock ups have had an nme plane in my gunsite 375-500 range, and im turning to the right )

Im starting to sense the lock ups because its like the veiws stutter as im changing them or the video pauses . its hard to explain .

no extra frills its just a gaming machine

hitech,

I've had about 100 of them in the tower this tour, its been especially bad this week.  Mostly when I switch fields or go to a hanger.  Next most common is when I click on the "Fly" button (these are not being recorded as discos and happen the instant I click).  Of the 30ish "in flight" CTDs that I've had this tour, most have been in the first minute of a sortie.  I fly in the CT and MA and am getting them in both arenas.

I have also had many times when I have played over an hour without a CTD.  

Most of my CTDs are instant.  The game just disapears without showing any signs of disstress.  I have also had about 5 lock-ups, where the puter screen just freezes and I can't alt-tab, ctrl-alt-delete or alt-F4.  I end up pulling the plug on those.

Thanks,

eskimo

same with eskimo here ctds happen when in tower and clicking to another field or spawning.

Lockups are random but maybe linked to ahv switching of views and lots dots in a small area. Total guess

It's not just the NVidia chips. I get CTD's several times a night on my Radeon. It seems to be random when I get them. Most of the time though I think it's when I'm changing my views with my joystick hat.

WinXP
Athlon 1800+
Radeon 8500

Mine are random,tho sometimes it seems to happen when pulling up or "returning" the clipboard.
 Have had a couple in the tower,i think we need to try it offline more.
 I have noticed,at a friend's house (mij0ie),that his screen will freeze for quarter sec,then recover,mine never recovers,tho i think that is hardware related,his pc much better spec'ed than mine.
 Here's a thought,are we all running a soundpack/and or custom sights?
 Post your aces config:
me running mitsu's latest sounds,i don't see how this could be related but....
Also custom alpha blended sights

I have random ctds, buff attack ctds, also crash bug still exists. Some dweeb shot my P47 down and I tail ended to sea and computer freezed.

Buff formation ctds are weird, you dont have to even attack them yourself, its enough if you are close if someone attacks them.

Hitech, the most striking example I've seen was this one: There were multiple planes in the air near an airfield (AKDesert).  There were 3 M3s w/troops near the airfield.  After one m3 captured the field, all 3 M3s simulataneously discoed.

I got a PC freeze (screen lockin-up) in the MA of AKDesert.

I was flying B-26 with 3-ship formation over A16, I destroyed Town, FH, and VH by level bombing at 13k, and 2 niks attacked me, 1 nik died (but I didn't get a kill message, maybe), and I loaded man gunner, and he shot down another nik. my 2 drones got the moderate damages and begins smoking, and 1 minute later, PC locked-up.

This is my story....

Well, this freeze bug is pretty dangerous, unfortunately Aces High may destroy Windows or HDD with this bug. I really hope HT will address it and fix it.

Until Friday before last, I hard locked or CTD on numerous occassions. Nothing was consistent except for receiving the UDP to TCP message, which once I got it, I would then lock or CTD. Also after these lockups, my joystick would get deleted and 2 Microsoft gamepads, which I don't have, would be in it's place.

Friday before last I clean installed AH. Since then only 2 CTD's. Once in the tower, once in a shore gun. Nothing consistent about either of them.

HiTech et all

Haven't had a CTD for a few days (haven't been playing over the weekend much).  Here's the similarities I've noticed...


1)  Very high alt near a Fleet (I couldnt see it under me, just the ack puffs, then I was at the desktop)

2)  Attacking B-17 formation.  The lead bomber (with icon) would hold steady, then the 2 auto-bombers would warp back n forth badly, then >poof<  desktop.

Those mentioned above have happened 3 or 4 times.  

But, then again, I've had times where Im in a 109 G10, diving down on a formation of bombers, and no auto-bomber warping and no CTDs.  On BOTH occasions, net status was smooth with server pings in the 120-140 range.

Good luck tracking this down.

P.S.  What's the ditty on a bigger connection to the servers?  Saw massive server and chat lag last night (7/28).  TY! 485 players online when I was in. (11pm EST)
