Title: EXCESSIVE disco's since Vista SP1 was installed
Post by: MajIssue on June 07, 2008, 09:15:25 PM: I have been getting a FREQUENT screenfreeze/machinefreeze then a connection lost and disco since Vista SP1 was installed. Check my stats and you will see that I have more disco's in the last week that I had the last TWO TOURS!!

Is anybody else having the same problem, and if so is there a solution short of un-installing sp1 (not an option) ?

Please help!!! This issue makes Aces High unplayable. I can't go more than 1/2 hour before I get frozen and disconnected, usually when I'm RTB with kills to land (naturally).

This problem exists (for me) in all the LW arenas.

I am re-dowloading/re-installing the game... I will post the success/failure of this act of desperation in this thread.

In your case by updating windows you most likely have reset all the things you tweaked to get vista to play nice. Your going to have to go through all of the "vista tweaks" listed in the vista thread.

Good luck !

I was afraid of that... :(

Also since it is now hot, make sure your video card or CPU isn't overheating. you can check this by removing the side of the case and placing a fan facing in. If the problem clears it's heat.

I know it sounds stupid but i had a similar problem after sp1 and once i installed the game as mentioned above it worked fine. Also make sure you turn off all anti-virus, ad blockers ect.... I had spyware doctor for years but since their last update i had to dump it from my system as it caused AH to crash/disco.
