Title: Error Message After 1.08 patch 4
Post by: Jag34 on November 16, 2001, 01:10:00 AM

I have a friend who I gave a CD of AH I downloaded (version 1.06). He played the game offline and loved it. So he downloaded the 1.08 ver. patch 4, two days ago and loaded it. When he went to start the game, it came up with a Error message:

Error Starting Program
The ACESHIGH.EXE file is linked to missing export DDRAW.DLL DirectDrawCreateEx.

Another message window says:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
C:\Program Files\HTC\ACESHI~1\aceshigh.exe

We tried loading it again and came up with the same problem.
He has a:

AMD K-6 3D 300MHz
128 meg SDRAM PC 100
Win95B
Diamond Stealth 8MG AGP card w/a
Voodoo 2, 2000 12 meg PCI card
Diamond MX 300 sound card
Direct X 7.0

Any Help would be appreciated.

his system is probably too behind to play AH.

you need at least DX 8.1 and a 16mb video card with prolly a pII 300

You don't need dx8.1, but you should at least have Direct X 7a.  You can have you friend try that, but it's likely frame rates will be pretty low with that setup.
