Title: Skins stuck on boston3.res
Post by: Cluzig on November 04, 2020, 06:10:33 PM

My skin downloads in game seem to be stuck on a BostonIII res file or files. I tried deleting the offending files to see if that'd fix it.


I seem to be forever downloading them in the background after a patch?
Is it best download the large skin files and install after every patch?

Bear in mind that AH3-era bombers (A-20, Boston, Ki-67, Ar 234, Ju-88) are based on 4096 x 2048 res bmp files. That means they have eight times the data and so will take around eight times as long to download as a 1024 x 1024 res skin.

I was not aware of that Greebo but thank you for the data and also for your skin work. However this issue is persistent and began weeks ago. Perhaps 2 patches ago. It's with Boston only res files.

Probably best then to go onto the AH Skins download site (https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/skins/index.php?skobj=boston3) and download them from there.

Yes that fixed it. Thanks.
