every time I get on, the game downloads the hi res texture pack...I get a message that says it will install after a restart then it re downloads :bhead
-
Was/is a bug. Just manually download the hires pack and you'll be fine.
-
thanks I did that just before coming back here
but now it shuts down hard I get the "restarting for the patch install"....sigh
these things usually work themselves out

Same issue, this happens every time I log into aces, and log out of aces.

From my reply in another thread:
I let the auto-downloader download the hires texture pack. When it finished, I stayed and played a while. Then I quit and re-started the game so the hires textures would be active. Then I'd get dumped to Desktop within 20 seconds of entering any arena. In looking at my main AH folder, I see "HRP2270TO2280.EXE" with file size of around 10Mb and dated yesterday. I also see "hirestex.res" sized 166Mb dated 1/25/12. I renamed both, and manually downloaded the hirestex pack from the HTC website. Installed it (size around 175Mb dated 7/10/12) and everything works again...no dump to Desktop, and I was able to play around and fly and stuff.

When you restart the game, does the installer fire off?
-
Pyro it seems that everything I log out it say aces high needs to install the hires pack. Please shut down to install

I understand you get that message, but when you restart the game, does the installer run or does the game just come back up without running the installer?
-
Hey Pyro,
Happening here as well, the installer does not run and the game just starts back-up. I've loaded the hi-res pack outside of the game to see if that would stop the auto download in-game, but it did not.
thanks for the help!

Sperky, can you go into your Aces High folder and look for the file hirestex.res. Right click on it and go to properties. What is the date of the file?
-
Wow... 1.25.12 :huh
Downloaded again and the date is 7.10.12, will try in game quick and report back...
***update- no auto-download of hi res pack. However, each time I log out (4 times to test) a dialog box appears and indicates that a AH will shut down to load a new patch. Patch on opening screen indicates 2.28 patch 3***
-
Sperky, look in your Aces High folder again for a file called patches.txt. Open it up with notepad and see what lines are in there. After you do that, you can go ahead and delete the file and it won't give you that prompt any more.
-
Just go an download 2.28patch2 over patch3 it will stop that :aok :D :salute mybe a bug in patch3 just saying :salute

We're not talking about patches, we're talking about the hires file downloader. It has nothing to do with what you posted.

Can you tell me what lines were in the file?

Pyro I had the same fix on that ...
HRP2270TO2280.EXE
Removed that from the patches.txt and it worked flawlessly, no Installing hi-res after shutting game down.

my problem solved think I ran that EXE and all is beter

This happened to me with the previous update and today's update. It looks like the hires patch never executes. After the hires patch downloads ( by logging into the app and waiting for 20 minutes ) there's a message that you need to exit to allow the patch to install. It never installs automatically.

Same thing here.

Same thing here.
Here too. Manual download and install, just like the last time.

Auto-download worked AOK for me Thursday 5 August for HiRes pack. It did stop once but resumed and loded OK and received a message saying so.
Did it in the TA for what it's worth.
-
Dont' get me wrong, I think HTC is a GREAT outfit , but man, doesn't ANYBODY beta-test these
patches we get to patch patches?
-
I installed the manual way too. I just wanted to report what I found.
-
You guys having this issue, is there anything unusual about your Windows 7 configuration? Like do you have multiple users or anything unusual about your user account?
Can one of you who has had this problem yesterday and got the message that the download was complete, look in your Aces High folder and see if there is a file named HRP2280TO2284.EXE. If there is, please run it and see if the installer will run manually and let me know. Please let me know right away if it's there and if it runs. Thanks.
-
Also, are you running any security software such as Norton or McAfee?
-
I'm at work, so won't be able to help until after y'all are done for the day...but I'll check when I get home.

So, you want HiTech Creations to buy and build every possible computer configuration to test a patch? :confused:
And Pyro, mine went AOK, I assume you do not need any information from my end?
-
No, we can't dupe it. We thought it was something else causing it but that clearly wasn't the case when it returned. HT has figured out a fail-safe to put on it if it fails so that it will open up your Aces High folder and give you a prompt with instructions to manually install it. That will have to do until we can figure what condition is causing the issue.

I'll let that rumpswab remark pass just because you got some salt in your
pocket around here, fuze.

see if there is a file named HRP2280TO2284.EXE. If there is, please run it and see if the installer will run manually and let me know. Please let me know right away if it's there and if it runs. Thanks.
Hi Pyro,
I just ran it, fired up Aces High and the "Downloading Hi-Res, etc..etc.." message
is now NOT appearing.
My thanks,
Odd

I'm running Win7 with a single account (with full privs cuz I know what I'm doing :D).
When I manually run the above .exe, the progress bar gets about halfway done and then the program terminates. When I downloaded and ran AHHIRES2284.EXE manually, it worked just fine and the game behaves normally.
The patches.txt file is stamped 8/2/2012 10:04pm, which is before I logged out to manually download the hires file. Contents of the file:
HRP2280TO2284.EXE
HRP2280TO2284.EXE

No salt in these pockets, just lint.

I can run that file. There are 2 users and I usually do not log off the other user (another name for wife :x ).
Admin rights for AH user, normal rights for other user (wife).
Hope this helps.

PYRO,
I've manually downloaded the HIRES PACK (dated 2 Aug 2012 on the download page) several times trying to make certain I've got the correct pack .... when I check the hirestext.res properties it shows {1 Aug 2012 @10:11:30 AM} as the modified date .... as 1 Aug the most recent?
-Rodent57
-
That's the correct file, what is the problem that you're having?
-
Rodent, double check your short cut what folder ah is running from. It sounds like you are not putting the hires pack in the correct folder.
-
Sorry about the delayed answer Gentlemen ...
Pyro: Just trying to make sure that the HIRES pack was the correct one since the date didn't match up to the HIRES pack name.
Not trying to be a pedant, just making sure I've got the right one loaded. Download page for HIRES shows it a couple patches behind (4 vs 6 today)
HITECH: Done, TY.
