Open Aces High > Click Video Settings

Make sure the box marked "Disable Vsync" is unchecked, (you want it on).  Try that

You have to enforce vsync.
Can be found in "video settings" right when starting game.

If the above post doesn't fix your problem, you may need to open the control pannel for your graphics card (Ati Catalyst Control Center, or whichever manufacturer you run) and turn VSynch on.

Which windows version are you using?
Title: Re: Help! Frame rate too high on line!
Post by: suprduck on May 05, 2010, 05:52:44 PM
V sync on both places.  Even tried dxdiag, limit refresh rate to 60.  No help.

XP,

V sync on everywhere.

Anyone know if Vsync can be enabled under Win XP while having an SLI rig?

Perhaps the newest video drivers might allow you to.

Vsync ensures your frame rate never exceeds your monitor refresh rate. (60Hz in your case)

Maybe it's a corrupt video config file.  I think it's called video8.cfg somewhere in your Aces High game folder.  Rename it (just in case) and then launch the game and reset your video prefs.

Another person discovers the realities of SLI.  You can't enable vsync.  Learn to live with the screen tearing, switch to a CRT monitor or take the second card out.

I SLI'd for about a week and had the same problem.  Fortunately I was able to RMA the second card.

SLI can work with AH. The only problem is getting SLI to work with XP. With Vista or W7 its fine.

Post by: Kermit de frog on May 06, 2010, 02:51:21 AM
So Vsync with SLI setups running WinXP can work as long as you have latest video drivers.  Seems the video card manufacturers finally fixed this issue after many years!

Ive been running in crossfire since last year and its always been able to turn on vsync. Are you just talking about Nvidia SLI?
