I have had nothing but trouble with this patch ..Awesome FPS but i get nothing but screen lockups while in an Aircraft .I have talked to alot of people tonight about this patch and very few are not expericencing any trouble ..
Many complaints of horrible gameplay .. I can no longer play im to frustrated with not being able to strafe a town with 110 it locks up and then into the ground i go or here come plane to shoot me while i cant see a thing ..I have died 20 times back to back from same problem so i give up .. I will frequently check to see if it is any better . if not I guess I will cancel my account and move on ..
I love aceshigh ,for the 5 years I have been here ..I just dream about fun 10k fights with the smoothest gameplay and highest FPS like back in the good ol ah1 days BUT as graphics increase and new things are added everyone needs to upgrade.. upgrade for what?? 15$ a month??? hell at 15$ a month we should be supplied with the hardware needed.15$ A MONTH 5 years . .
I guess im just venting but I did have perfect gameplay before the patch and new I shoulda just kept on playing but I relogged figureing i would have to download it eventually.. >>S<< to all hope to see u soon ..AND HOPE to see gameplay fixed

More information is needed here. What type of video card do you have?
If you do not know, run DXDIAG (Start->Run->DXDIAG), then select the "Display" tab and get the exact name of the device from there (upper left), and also post the video driver version (upper righ) and date of the driver.

No... your initial post sounded whiney. It was the part about them somehow owing you hardware or something that was amusing. To me anyway.
-
open ur eyes and you would see the ''just venting'' part .. it gets frustrating when trying to play a game and u just cant..especially when ur paying for it and meet the requirements ..this is nowhere near a whine, more like a cry for help:(

FF, make sure you are running version 61.77 of the NVidia drivers. If you are running later drivers, you will suffer stutters, lockups, and generally poor performance.
For Windows 2000/XP, click here to get the 61.77 drivers. (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_61.77.html)

Flying,
I'm sorry to hear your having such a bad time of it. I just downloaded and installed the new AH last night and so far it is working fine.
Question: is the "op" stuff built in to this new patch? I downloaded the 65 meg v2.05 and installed it last evening, then got online and found out I needed the 30mb 2.51 patch. Does this provide all the optimizing stuff I've been reading about?

Yes Jed, while in the MA or any other Arena ,hit
Then do the same thing with them unchecked . That way u can see which ur game runs best with or without. i find with opterrian unchecked i get better fps but with them both unchecked i get better gameplay ..
Iam in the middle of updating my drivers like skuzzy said above ...thanks skuzzy ,I havent updated my vidcard drivers in about 8 months ..We will see if this works >>S<<
-
I hope you are getting the 61.77 drivers and not the latest drivers from NVidia or you WILL have many problems.
-
Yep 61.77 off the link you gave me .. I clicked on mirrior 1. lol im on 83% now because of dialup connection. :lol
-
Well i have been playing consistantly for almost 2 hrs now ...gameplay is 95% better but still have sum unwanted freezes .. mostly when in ground vis or alot of action going on around me ... but that is normal its been that way for years =) ty skuzzy!!!!! and again sorry for any troubles i may have caused over the years

FlyingFortress i switched from ground vis to full vis and it worked dont get lock up if i do its very little you should try that full vis is Shift and F1 at the same time
-
Which optimization options are you using? Try turning off one or the other and see if it helps.
Also, I noticed if you run with terrain optimizations, you should try turning on terrain transitions and mipmapping in the in-game video settings to see if that helps as well.
What are all your video configuration options? Have you tried settings the in-game video settings back to defaults?
-
I ususally leave OPterrian off i have always had all the vid settings in game to default, and mipmapping, horizions, and the other one have always been checked
-
The new optimizations seem to have almost entirely removed the stuttering I've seen for years when watching the horizon while rolling, or when looking at ground objects while rolling at low alt.
Maybe it's just the increased framerate, but it's nice.
