twice now, I was diving in at high speed and the game crashed on me. had film rolling this last time. I need to check and see if it saved it or what.
EDIT: Film shows up to the point where the game crashed. Would it help to send it or do you guys have enough about this issue already.
Also, this time I was in a 109, time before I was in a b25.

I had this happen to a squadie. Only it happens everytime he straf's something. It started with towns then V bases and now CV's. He has asked HTC about it but they just kept saying it was his system.
-
Snap - a few seconds ago, I was diving on a B-24 in my F4U-1, and splat, back to the desktop. The bomber pilot must have thought I had gone mental. I have it on film. The odd thing is that my last recorded speed was 324mph, and I had exceeded this beforehand, although in a gentle dive. When the game crashed, I was going straight down. Perhaps it is something to do with acceleration?
For the record I am using a fresh install of Aces High, which never ever crashed with the previous version of the game; I have flown longer sorties. The only aircraft in the vicinity were two remaining B-24s and a 110; I have "disable other plane skins" turned on.
-
I was not diving, but 3 times in about 1 hour and 15min. I went black screen, then got the little, Send Don't Send message window. I have not been playing that long, but I never had a single crash like this until tonight :(
My last flight was at 400yards shooting at a A26, then crash. The other two were also while I was in fights.
All 3 times I was flying a P38-J

Had now about 5-6 seemingly random CTD's in various planes, even with a fresh reinstall. :rolleyes:
-
I hope the get it fixed, because I can't play like it is. Just when things start to roll, black screen. :(
-
Got CTDed last night 3 times, all during dives.
-
Happened to me and Kazaa earlier too, I was folling him up on a con, he went then me straight after.
-
I had 2 crashes, one after the update and one after high res pack download.. both when first starting the game.. I see the tower view for 2 sec.. then solid white screen, then poof nothing.
I havent had any CTDs since but ive had instances where my framerate hit 0 and the game froze.. then went to about 8fps.. then froze again...
which is very odd considering nothing particular was going on and my FR is usually at 60 and may get as low as 50 under the most taxing of conditions (huge furball over large field with smoking hangars and firing ack)..
EDIT: also when in a tower, any tower my FR rate is very low compared to before the update.. mid 20s to around 30. before it was 60.
-
I too, am victim of this. Random planes, but nearly always after turning with high Gs, diving quickly, or strafing. But sometimes it's random.
This has only been happening since I updated.
-
Happened to me a lot of times, too. I have movies of every CTD, but, given the Film bug, they're useless..... :P
I hope they come up with a patch, soon..... it's disturbing to fly to enemy HQ in a Mossie on the deck, pull up, dive back and find yourself staring at Windows message just when you were about to drop your bombs on target...... :p
-
Kazaa was m,y wingman yesterday and it happened to him twice whilst diving in temp.
-
All my crashes so far have been diving in with the B-25H and when I get close to a gun that I blow up, or a CV my screen just goes white and game crashes.
-
One CTD strafing with B25
Second CTD attacking B17's with P38L
Film viewer also CTD randomly
-
Has everyone been filming when this has happened?
I'm pretty sure I was. I film pretty much every sortie, but not until I get to the edge of the action. (So I had some long flight times without filming and no CTD, but then get into the action, start filming and then CTD.)
I got up yesterday, and dove a p38j from 14K into the ground and never got a CTD, and I was NOT filming. I didn't have time to do anymore testing, though I will do some tonight.
There is a known bug with these films and the film viewer, I just wonder if it might be a combination of Diving, (or lots of action) and filming that are the cause of our CTD's. If so, then at least I could fly. Right now, almost every time I get in a fight, I get a CTD.
Best regards,

Tachus you may be on to something.
Both my CTD's were while filming.
-
As I was suspecting something like this, I haven't filmed any sortie today. I have yet to get a CTD... :noid
-
I film all of my session, from beginning to end, so, yes, I was filming every time.... happened again today, and I wasn't diving fast in a mossie, but there was ack firing everywhere... maybe, Tachus, you're right.
I won't film next time and I'll do what I was doing when I CTDed.
-
nawwww, I film all flights and mines seems ok. Was CTD in dive near lots of ack a bunch of times. I deleted the b25 res file as per a "skuzzy" post on the off chance, and just flew for 2 hours no trouble.
-
yup ive never had issues like this ctd atleast 4 times lastnight
and now my AH film viewer wont work.
-
If by CTD you guys mean the games shuts off and you get a message saying aceshigh.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close, then yes, this has happened to me countless times since the update. I don't remember each time, but when I am in fights, or diving down on someone, and they happen, is when I remember them most! I think I had one though today without filming but im not 100 percent sure. The strange thing is, when it happens to me, and I go to the ac icon to start it again, i keep getting the aceshigh.exe has encountered a problem message, and I have to wait forever before I can play again. I tried reinstalling the game and restarting my computer, to no avail.
This is so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, what I was referring to, was simply a black screen, and then the focus goes back to the desktop. I get the Windows XP message, that asks if you want to send a message to MS. I click no, and the I can restart AH right away and go back in.
BTW, I was in the TA tonight for about 1hour and 20 minutes, without filming, and never had a single crash.
I was in the MA for only a short while, but again, no filming, no CTD.

My 1st CTD in MONTHS came last night:
was in a 262 OTD strafing down a radar at a vbase. No cons, only 2 auto ack firing. Not a lot going on. I was filming at the time. BOOM.
Black screen of death, then msg "Aces High has encountered an error"
:mad:

That was the first thing I did, but still CTD after it "AH has encountered".
Also in several crashs there was guaranteed neither any ack nor any B-25 involved - but most probably I was always filming.
Since I stopped filming, no crash.
-
Happened 4 times to me tonight, always in a dive with various planes.

Film Viewer is bugged, check this thread (particularly Sudz's post) (http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=213373)
As for the CTDs, I don't know Lusche.... maybe it has something to do with diving and ack, or maybe with heavy planes.... yesterday, after the usual 3 CTDs, I gave up on the Mossie and started flying the K4. I rolled almost 3 hours of film, without any problem.... and I was going fast, and diving and there was ack firing.... :noid
-
Mine were all in the 38, so it's not a "big" plane thing, at least not in my case. And I was always engaged, but not with acks. Once was just attacking a bomber formation and I wasn't even going fast, not much off stall speed.
I guess the only thing I know for sure is, I never had one CTD before the update. :(

Whaddayamean "it's not a "big" plane thing"???? The '38 is a bomber! :D
Joking aside, yes, neither did I have crashes before the 2.11.... :(
-
I was in a high-speed shallow dive on a base yesterday in my mossie. I took out 2 ack, but just as the shells from my 20mm hit the third one the screen went white and froze. Had to restart the game.

Good point, but I was comparing it to the Jug :) (Now that's a BIG plane)
I found a great quote about the 47, concerning the arrival of the 348th Fighter Group in Australia on June 30th 1943.
Reportedly, as a P-47 pilot climbed down from the cockpit, one Aussie ground crewman inquired; "Where is the rest of the crew?"

:lol
I knew that British pilots said that, to avoid enemy fire, the 47 pilot had only to begin running in the cockpit... or something like that! ;)
Back on topic, bottom word is: do not record. It seems that's what keeps crashing the game, combined with some particular situation, maybe ack firing... thinking about it, perhaps that is the only true constant in all the CTDs I had.
-
Yup, i suspect ack or gunfire. From what i can recall all ctds ive had in this and previous versions has been either when seeing gunfire from my own plane, other planes or ack. I have never had a ctd during normal flight.
-
Yup, seems to be a combination of filming and any kind of enemy fire. In every CTD i was filming and under fire by either ack or buff guns.
-
IT only happens when you are filming. If you don't film, you won't crash.
-
"Yup, seems to be a combination of filming and any kind of enemy fire. In every CTD i was filming and under fire by either ack or buff guns."
It'll be interesting to see the bomber kill stats for this tour - there must have been lots of grateful bomber pilots, under attack from enemy planes, who were saved from certain death when the enemy planes vanished into thin air.
Or perhaps the bomber guns and ack have been beefed up, so that they can not only shoot down your plane, they can shoot you straight out of Aces High and make you reboot your computer!

I don't think it will be noticeable - The bug appeared very late this tour and most people are not recording at all.

I'm getting really bad stuttering (FPS drop from 70+ to 4) when exchanging gunfire with buffs or ground ack. Alt+tab fixes the problem, though this can entail lawndarting dramatically.
