There is a good chance, after the update, you will have to remind Vista that you want the game to run in compatibility mode.

Other than that, how ya been Joc? Have not seen you around in a while. The sheep keeping you warm? :)

Good to know - but I'm still seeing consistent crashing from 1.12 p1 when hitting Video Settings, even when running in 98/ME (or XP) compatibility mode. I'm running Vista on a Core Duo 1.8 GHz Dell laptop with GeForce 8400M video.

Find aceshigh.exe (probably in C:\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II), right click on it and select Properties, click Compatibility tab, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", choose "Windows 98/ Windows Me", hit OK.

After doing this the game should run in compatibility mode each time you launch it.
