Title: New Version won't Start
Post by: Sooner00 on January 29, 2005, 02:39:06 PM

THe New update downloaded but will not let me online. Aces High just closes and I'm back at my desk top. Any thoughts?

Yes, I have the same problem.

Here's what happens more precisely:

The program starts, and I'm able to get to the arena selection screen.  Then when I try and select any arena, I get a brief flash of a "Loading pre-cache" box, or something like, and then I'm staring at my desktop.  I've tried changing my video resolution: same deal.  I've tried enabling pre-load of the textures.  This produces a slight change: I stare at the preload box cycling for a few seconds, and then boom, I'm admiring my icons again.

Yes Lasse, ditto for me, no offline functionality either.

I just downloaded the full version + Hi-Res pack and skin pack.

I installed these ontop of my old AH install, and now it works fine.

So there is your solution, I guess.

Probably some error in the upgrade download.

It's the same for me.   During the patching, I got an error message that debris.wav couldn't be opened.  After the patch I started AH and watched the Preload Tex Memory with all the .tca files.

Then  I get a crash to desktop before it completes.  Watching it over again it's always the same 3 files in the update that kick me: WLDCYMP_512.TCA, WXTREP12_512.TCA, and XTC1_512.TCA.

Hope this helps

Are all you running with maximum texture size set to 1024?

I am looking for some commonality.

I am also having this problem.

Got an error during the install about the debris.wav cannot be opened.
I can get to the server selection and then it says "Aces High has encountered a problem and needs to close" (Running Win XP) Then I am back to my desktop.

Cannot play online or off. :(

I think there is a problem with the auto update.  In any case, when I downloaded the latest version of the executable from the webstite, my problem went away.

Sometime during the update that resulted in CTD I saw an error about debris.wav.

Are you guys running any custom sound packs?  Gun sights?  Terrains?

I am at home, and had the auto-updater install the patch, and it works fine.  But I only have the basic installation of Aces High, with no custom stuff added.

I keep seeing this debris.wav file being mentioned, and it was in my sounds folder after the patch.  Is it missing for you?  If you have a custom sound pack installed, is there a chance the folder or files got marked as read-only?

Nevermind what I said.  Read Pyro's post in the News section.  I just happen to get the corrected patch.

I am totally basic. I went to HTC homepage and tried to download it from there. This is what I get:


"C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High ll\sounds\debris wave could        not be oppened"

I'm having the same problem as everyone else,  I used the auto updater, when I connect to main arena a download something box comes up and I get booted to my desktop.
I hope a little fix comes out, I have dial up and I'd rather not have to download 46 mbs again.

I'm running 1024x768, I can't play on or off line, I get booted to desktop when I enter an arena and I also got a debris wav error when my install was about 96% complete.
