i just downloaded the new patch and at the end it said that some task could not download because it was invalid. sadly i did not write it down. when i tried to open AH, i got this message.
ERROR:
Initialization failed with a -9
main WLD_Failed-1
any idea what i need to do?
-
Redownload the base and install it over the top of your current installation. I can't say what went wrong without knowing what error occurred on the download, but it sounds like you only got partially updated.

i tried ti reinstall it again and had the same problem. wrote down the message this time.
ERROR:
The file
C:PROGRA~1\HTC\ACESHI~1\stdshape.res
is not a valid previous version and could not be upgraded
-
You need to install the base download, not the patch. No need to uninstall anything first.
-
and how do i do that? sadly, i am not very computer savvy...

Here's a direct link to the base download.

are you using Windows XP? Rhah?
or are you using Vista or Windows 7?
if you are using 1 of the latter 2 ( Vista / Win 7 ) you will experience problems...... your Aces High installation should be in the C:\ root directory.....
not in C:\program files\
Aces High now default installs to the C:\hitech creations\aces high\ folder path........
this is possibly your problem
hope this is of help to you...... good luck
