Got same error :(
Spec: P4 3.2 / 512RAM / 9800Pro / Catalyst 4.2 / Directx 9.0b

I get a similar message. I had been able to play alright up until about 38 or so. Every time I try and log on now I get the following message:
Initialization failed with 9 mainWLD_Failed-1
I have no idea what that means.
-
Well don't know for sure but make sure directx is up to date (9.whatever).
-
Ive been thru both types of failers
!st of make sure DX9b is installed
ELC your prob is a world texture isnt loading u might need to uninstall then redownload game.
Buytron your prob is your card isnt loading the game up AFAIK this prob hasnt been corrected BUT, there is hope
go to your HTC folder then AH2 then find aceshigh.exe file. Rename this file to aceshigh II. should work then

Was getting that error message. Downloaded AH2 patch 41 and still got the message. I stumbled into the answer for my situation. Was reading about 256 color and I right clicked on the AH2 Icon. I selected properties and then the last tab. There is a option to "run this program in 256 color" For some reason, this was Checked. Dont understand how it got checked but it was. I unchecked it and AH2 works great now.

Well dip me in applebutter and call me a hushpuppy!
Renamed my aceshigh .exe back to original and checked that..sure enough it was set to 256 and when i unchecked it AH2 ran fine.

Seems like a graphics driver issue for me. Running on 4.2 and everything looks fine rite now.
Directx already updated, and same result on 4.6, didnt try other 4.x .
thx anyway.

256 Color check box, new one for the books, never new about it.Thanks a bunch for posting that spivey.
el3736, that err is cause by not being able to open the stdshape.res file. It is usualy caused by 1 of 2 things.
1. Starting up in the wrong folder. People some times try make a short cut and copy the aceshigh.exe file to the desk top instead of creating a short cut. This can be tested by opening the aceshigh II folder and double click the aceshigh.exe file directly.
2. Bad install, delete you aceshigh II folder and reinstall.

I deleted AH2 as suggested and reloaded it. This time I am back to an original message stating that my video drivers need updating in that it does not support z buffering. I had updated the drivers already and was able to play on an earlier version of AH2. Would deleting the program and downloading it again have affected my video drivers?
