Title: Re-installing game.
Post by: 1Boner on August 13, 2009, 12:04:41 PM

Has anyone had any luck solving the stuttering or white screen problems by uninstalling and re-installing the game from scratch?

I know this is probably not the correct forum for this, but figured it might reach a broader audience,thus increasing the odds of a larger response.

It seems alot of guys started getting problems when they installed new video cards.

Would it help to re-introduce the game to the entire system?

Last night got tired of the constant white screen of death and tried uninstalling and reinstalling to see if it fixed it.  Afterwards, I logged in and immediately a white screen of death.  So it didn't work for me and as far as the stutters go, they disappeared for me after patch 4.

I did it and yes no glitches until the few white screen crashes...but what I did was uninstall, clean the registry, delete any signs of the old install, then re-installed using the full installer of the latest rev...that was after doing virus/spyware sweeps using 4 different programs just to make sure. During the install process I disabled my anti-virus active scanning. The only thing I haven't done yet (and I should) is uninstall then reinstall my video and sound drivers.

I have not gotten this wsod yet. I played lots of hours and have not had this. My stutters are gone now with the last two patches. Now that I say this I will log in and the white screen of death.

Yes it works i posted this very thing on another thread about a week ago the only problem you will have is that you will have to reprogram youre joystick buttons, sounds pack views and the rest. It will be like you downloaded it for the first time. Just clean the HTC folder off youre C drive. and do a system search for any traces of AH and youre good to go. Redownload it and thats it. :aok

You can save a copy of your settings and stickdef folders elsewhere, and after you re-install game copy them back into the new Aces High folder. Then you won't have to reset up your peripherals.
