Guess your seriously outdated buttocks is paying the piper now... Finally...
Are you seriously going to take the elitist attitude here?
It's impossible to make out how close you are to the ground or water.
Well.... Since I am running a pretty below average system, I guess I am... There has to be a line... Really...
Guess your seriously outdated buttocks is paying the piper now... Finally...
I can't tell you how much I love this game but I just went from this...

It's impossible to make out how close you are to the ground or water. I just don't think this is worth the $15.00. Got some serious decision making to do. :cry
Besides, people have been clamoring forever for
new maps and planes, not new water and terrain.
Bottom line is this: I can't fly terrain or water effects
and now that we have them I can't play the game.

Yeah, because fifteen dollars requires some real serious decision-making, Mr. President.
Your 1 gig video card makes all the difference in the world when it comes to this update. So while you might have a low spec machine you have a very high spec video card..
"I'm actually surprised how many people patted them on the back in the beta forums while in game I heard nothing but complaints."
Many people did not download and test the beta on their systems, their first time was seeing it today.
I am not surprised, myself.......
only about 1/5th of the registered players ingame, also are a registered member of the Aces high Messageboards/Forum...
anyways, thats what has been posted in the past...and if that is the case then 80% of the players online was not even aware there was an Open Beta to check out since June 25th of 2009.......
If people would look at the aces high HomePage every once and a while and read up on the News updates, then they might of known it was coming........
Is why I always thought that when new players sign up and create a gameid, they also should have to register their username on the BBS.......at least then they know of it, that it exist and then it would be noones fault but their own for not keeping up with News about the game we all love to play........
YMMV
hope everyone figures out a way to keep enjoying the game.......good luck.....
Enjoy your new life in the Third World.
Also, enjoy NASCAR.
Wow I've seen some pretty lame replies in these forums. Reminds me of what killed ww2online (if I may echo this ONCE again).
The ONLY reason why I played this game was because of how fluid it felt. The graphics and some of the physics felt kinda dated, but everything was seemingly geared to performance.
If that is gone then I have no reason to be here. Alas, I do not have this problem as I upgraded recently and usually keep a higher end system under the desk, (or two...sometimes three) but thats my biz so I'm expected to have the finer cuts of meat in my cooler right?
But I can tell you, that nothing is more frustrating to go from 100% playable perfect etc to unplayable without so much as an explanation as to why this is necessary.
IMO the graphics do NOT appear to be an upgrade. I'm hoping they are prepping for somethign bigger in the future and something in the background is what is causing the big drop for many folks. But honestly, can you say the graphics look that much better? I can't. If anything I see a downgrade.
I looks like a picture of terrain plastered over a wireframe, with some very sparse trees that look like they were sprayed with shellac for effect. Doing it wrong comes to mind. Yes I am very critical of this patch even though I'm not being adversely affected by it. If HTC is offended then they need to get into another biz but somehow I believe they are listening and trying to figure out what to do about it. I expect an answer from them eventually, and hopefully a resolution.

People need to speak their minds about the dissatisfaction with products/services being rendered. If they don't the people providing these services will never know how to make you happy and draw in your $$.
For me, it's a no brainer. I keep playing. But if I start stuttering just as I'm about to jump someone, I'll be more than a bit po'd.
So lets keep it light for those folks having issues with the game. Too many people are quick to judge when it doesn't affect them. Imagine you just had your favorite pastime (for many) ripped out of your hands in one day!?
Actually 1Gb video cards perform WORSE in general than thier 512 mb counteparts.
Good Blah
Blah
Blah stuff inbetween
In a game such as AH which is more CPU/system dependent than GPU dependent this can cause a serious degredation in performance.
1 Gb video cards are a marketing ploy for the uninformed.
Just thought I'd set the record striaght.

Fifteen dollars could feed rice to a family of four, for a month.
If that's a problem, he could use the fifteen dollars on a taxi to the employment office (where he'd find nothing); too bad he didn't graduate high school, go to college, get a master's degree, and be retired, here laughing at the poor, poor, imbeciles.
Enjoy your new life in the Third World.

I assume your educated and retired. That makes all your posts even worse. Your type of personality is whats wrong with the world today. You happen to be proof that education does not equal intelligence. I am in college now. I can tell you having a degree doesn't make you a better person than anyone, and assuming so is arrogant. You have no class. I hope one day something happens where you may not be able to afford a couple hundred dollars for something that you enjoy.
He's a pubescent teen actually.
Well that would make sense.That explains why he/she makes fun of vets that serve and protect people like him/she
Either way it's been a blast.......
Hey I'm in the same boat, but I'm not gonna worry too much about it. I'm sure HTC could find a way to make the terrain appear again to our low end systems,
Whether they will or not....well who knows.
I've got a baby on the way and this computer serves all my RL needs just fine, so that 1000 bucks in my pocket is huge LOL
Either way it's been a blast.......
Lol the nintendo comments are very accurate to describe this "condition ". When I logged on the 1st thing I thought of was
Before cutting loose, try some diff. settings... You may be surprised.Ive tried everything.

Cant read the instruments anymore, terrain looks like fondu, and I dont have intel written anywhere on this pc.
{AMD}, and its not even friggin paid off until next week.
I have to carry this thing to some over priced pc upgrade place, to find out that im going to have to spend MORE money, and the pay off might be flying around with low ress terrain that looks like a green/brown fog.
What they hell where they thinking?
Do you expect me to pay for this?, you've taken my favorite pastime and priced it right outta my reach, and these lower res settings are almost useless... my buddy walked in and asked me what the hell I was playing, and I had to say aces hi.... bastard laughed at me.
I cant even read the frigin instruments anymore.
Everyone says "wait and see" well it took them 6 months to screw the game up this bad, how long is it gonna take em to FIX IT!!!?
Terrain looks great though, especialy from the tower, and thats where ill be hanging out if I want to see it.

Unless you know the individual your referring to this post it is at best short sighted. Ignorance of common sense is perhaps an affordable luxury of the educated.
I have a middle of the road alienware and aside from some minor adjusts i have to make, the game runs great so far. I haven't put alot of time in the game yet though either.
As for education? I got mine at the school of hard knocks.....come get you some :t

Actually 1Gb video cards perform WORSE in general than thier 512 mb counteparts. I have rarely if ever seen a 1Gb card with equal or faster memory bandwidth (the amount of data which can be transferred into and out of video card memory over a specific length of time... typically expressed in Gb/sec.) than the same card with 512 mb of memory. In addition to this the 512 cards typically also have faster GPU clock speeds.
Furthermore, a 32 bit operating system will only recognize between 3.25 and 3.75 Gb of system RAM in total which includes the video card memory. Unless you only have 2 Gb of RAM installed a 1 Gb video card is simply stealing 512 mb of allocable RAM from the rest of the system. Finally, even if you were running a 64 bit operating system no 32 bit application is allowed by Windows to utilize more than 2 Gb of RAM. Therefore running a 1Gb video card leaves you wilth 1Gb of system RAM available to the game. In a game such as AH which is more CPU/system dependent than GPU dependent this can cause a serious degredation in performance.

It is 2009, with all things there must be some "minimum" standard set! For the most part I see most folks are happy with the change, or they will have it figured out in short order! For the peeps clammering about canceling their sub I will say this---> 90% of you will upgrade and return within 6 months, happier than ever :aok
Some of you are complaining about "nintendo, com 64" graphics, well what do you expect when Y O U R system is no better than a nintendo or com64? See you back in 6 months :rock :rock
You don't need a top end computer to run it at max detail, not even close. Stop with the lies.
Yes, you do need a semi-decent video card, that is all. Maybe $75-150 and you are all set unless your computer is seriously ancient.
My computer is almost four years old now and runs the game at 1920x1280 and max detail without any problems.

(Reply to top of thread post)
My PC is a Dell Dimension 3000 purchased in 2004. The build dates back to 2000. I upgraded to 1 Gig of ram, runs at about 3 GHz, Pentium 4 with 2 processors. My video card dates back to the Stone Age---a PCI slot (not PCI-e) a Radeon X1300, but better than the integrated video crap that came with it. I am very limited to what is available to using a PCI slot, not much out there.
I had to uncheck a lot of settings within Aces High to get it to run. It runs good enough, means WORKAROUND!
Once Windows 7 comes out, I'll get a better PC. My PC still works good enough for most things except gaming. I will keep it forever as long as I can still get parts for it. I have never had it to a shop for any kind of repair, I always figure it out, eventually. And Dell is not as propriety as people have told me. I get parts to Best Buy and NewEgg to fix it.
I am not impressed with new update, either. Maybe better days are ahead.
I know money is tight right now, but is ~$120 all that hard to come up with? I admit we aren't doing great with money, but we can scrounge up some money on occasion for something "fun". $120 can get someone: A motherboard, CPU and RAM that will help vastly with the game, and when you get a little more you can spend another 120-200$ for a Power Supply and Video Card to complete the upgrade.
Will the upgrade be this Uber-elitest Killer Gamer? No, but it will do dang well for most everything.
Currently I can find (Using some parts I have/will use):
blahblahblahblahblahblahblahb;lah
