Title: Cant watch films
Post by: BDBAL on November 18, 2001, 10:57:00 PM
I have recorded some films of my deaths and sporadic victories. However I cannot view them. After quitting online; I enter films on the clipboard, I open clipboard, highlight desired film, click open. The clipboard displays a map (it has been Mindanao, Baltic, and Island..random as far as I can tell.)I click on the play arrow, slider moves to right but nothing! Tried fast forward, rewind, still but nada.

Any ideas? BTW I have tried to access AH from my desk top, but it just installs the game again, I cant access any files; is this normal?

Yours in Flames,
BDBAL

If clicking desktop icon reinstalls the game you probably have a link to the installation package there, not the game executable.

What goes for the film viewer, try to see the film by selecting the film, pressing play and _not_ moving the film slider or fast forward.. I can view the films normally on my machine as long as I don't move the film slider too fast at the time.

Even if I move it, it works only if I set the film speed to 0 before moving - otherwise happens just what you described, slider moves but no film is displayed.

Thank you, two questions.
1. How do I get an "executable" game download?
2. Where does one find the rate of speed for films?
Thank you,
BDBAL

BDBAL, try looking for AH on the Start menu of Programs, then Aces High, and start the game there.  It's helpful to place a shortcut on your desktop...it's a little bit quicker this way.  I made a Games desktop folder to keep my executables and game shortcuts.  Hope this helps.
