Title: Patch 6 Is Killing Me!
Post by: Ed561 on November 29, 2001, 07:45:00 PM

Hi all! <S>  Since downloading and running patch 6, my computer locks up solid at the password and user id screen while I try to get online.  The offline game appears to work fine.  Earlier versions of the game also worked ok.  Any assistance would be much appreciated.  I paid for 6 months in advance...sure hope I can get this thing to work  :)

Are you running Zone Alarm or other firewall?

I run Zone Alarm Pro (latest version).  Aces High has passthrough permission.  I finally got online last night.  I didn't really do anything.  I intend to try to repeat the process tonight to see if it is 'repeatable' <G>.  Information will be forthcoming

EUREKA! As they say.  Apparently the passthrough settings in Zone Alarm were somehow reset to 'ask permission' to access the internet.  I could not see the request screen.  By resetting the ZA passthrough permission, I now have access to Aces High.  Life is good again.  :)  And thank you for your help.  You hit the nail on the head!
