....game crashes or computer crashes. Not more than 5 minutes ago I was on my way home after an hour long mission bombing numerous bases when all of a sudden *DONK* "Aces High has encountered an error and needs to close" :cry :cry This is the second time Aces High has crashed while I was heading home after a LONG B29 mission.
Since the B29's have come out I've flown 7 sorties, so far 4 have ended due to computer problems. One BSOD, two Aces High WSODs, and one loss of internet connection. Twelve hundred bomber perks lost. :cry I've waited about 8 years to see this bird added to the game and when it finally it comes I can't even enjoy it. :cry
Silat hold me.... :cry :uhoh :D
I now believe the rumors that perk planes are cursed. Well back to flying my dweeby, easy mode B25.

look at the bright side of things. i guy upped 3 of them in front of my b26's he got disco'd withing 10 seconds. didnt even have time to see the name :)

Most disco/program failures are on the local side of things, or your ISP.
When was the last time you cleaned up your computer? Did a virus scan? ran a malware program? Defrag'd your HD? How many films and screenshots do you have in the AH folder?
Any of those things that slow down your computer can screw the game. Too many screenshots in your AH folder with cause the game to crash..... I learned that one the hard way. (Thank you Fugi for telling me sir)

I saw some of those b29s explode and typed it on 200.
-
Same here with 262s. For a week, every time i upped a 262, the game crashed.
-
This is why I absolutely refuse to fly perk planes anymore. It NEVER(and i do mean NEVER) fails that I either disco or the game crashes when i'm in a perk plane. :cry :cry
Oh well back to flying my spixteen!!! i R tEh UbEr SpIt DwEeB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Unlucky :eek:
-
I have also lost several to discos as well as other perk rides. :mad: I have been having cox cable trouble that they "continue to claim its not them"..... :rolleyes:
I propose HT deposit a one time amount of 1000 bomber perks to every persons account in the game as a way of saying thank you for your continued support and being a dedicated and valued customer. ;)
:aok

Does it happen that often on other long bomber flights or if the game has been running for the same length of time? ie does the problem seem to be linked to the B-29? or do you think you may just notice it more because perks are lost. If it seems to be B-29 specific then you can start looking at things like custom sound packs or something like that.
Couldn't hurt to shoot an email over to Skuzzy with a DXDIAG report or something.
-
Lol, you think all you guys loosing B-29's is by disco? those are SAM's disguised as V2's taking you all out, they literally shoot you out of the game, didnt you see them in HiTechs hangar???? :lol
-
Come to think of it I haven't cleaned out my AH folder in awhile, I don't have that many screenshots but I know I'm pushing 150 films. I keep meaning to clean it out and then I get lazy. :lol
-
How many of y'all who crash in perk rides use custom sound packs?
-
all my b29's loses about 6 of them have been due to vox. I hear somebody transmitting then poof my game crashes. the crashing part dont bother me, i got used to it being "my computer's faul :rolleyes:" what really gets me upset is that all the crashes have happened over 20k. 30 min of flying for nothing :rofl.

Most of my disco's are on the longer bombing missions and they are 100% my fault. I'll alt-tab and watch an in-flight movie and play flash games while I climb. I click on Aces High again and there's a white screen. Oh well :(
-
Well it just sucks to fly so far and risking a lot of perks that you might get shot down and in the end you still lose through no fault of your own. But hey that's life, all I can do is take off again when I get time and try the mission again, after all those bomber perks I have won't be doing anything else.
-
Every time i start getting discos/crashes I just Defrag AH. Works like a charm! Sometimes there is up to 80 or so fragmented files, with 100+ fragments each
-
For a long time every single 262 or tempest i upped got a disco within 5 mins. I refused to fly a perk ride for over 9 months due to it. My discos were non-existant for a long time...until...Frontier bought out Verizon and now I have the disco monkey again. My main problem in perk rides now is every 262 I up has toilet paper wingtips. If I bank to plane at all, even with minimal Gs I snap both tips off.

Does having a data hard drive help with avoiding problems with having too many films and screenshots? Ive been told this too and yea it sucks because I have lost 262s this way and I wish there was a way to totally eliminate this...

I second this too...... I like to alt tab out and surf when Im on the climb. Seems like the computer uses alot of resources when re rendering the landscape...... I hope my new comp has enough horsepower to brush this off....... at least for a while anyway..

So how do you defrag just AH? I usually just defrag the whole drive before I got to bed and let the thing just work overnight....

That sounds more like a joystick dead band setting. You might wanna look at how your joystick adds input, it may be really high sensitivity causing a input spike which is the equivalent of someone just violently yanking on the stick.

Silent, sir, before you go any further, there's a "modify" button at the top right of each of your posts that allows you to make additional comments without having to double and triple post :aok
And if the latest post in a thread is modified the blue NEW! indicator on the thread will reappear, so you can sort of bump a thread without making a new post.

And to add what Gnuck's said, you can also add multiple quotes to a post as well. Just scroll up and add the quotes you want.

Lost my last Tempest due to a disconnection.
Funny thing is, I just dont disconnect more than once every 3-4 months.
-
I'm just glad this doesn't happen in real life cuz the other day it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to work because ppl can't drive when water falls out of the sky. It would suck to drive for 1:40 and right as you are parking, bam u r back in your driveway at home and u have to start all over but you don't get your gas back.

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl Great parallel.
I've lost 4 b29s and I don't have a lot of bomber perks. One to diving too fast. 3 to happy pilots. I just hate all the time it takes to go to 30k so I've only been to 18k in them.
-
Seems to me I've had an increase in discos lately, may be subjective though. Flew a 2+ hour mission on Tuesday with Swoops in a B-29 and no problems and landed all three. :banana:
When the B-29 first came out lost a formation the first day. :cry
Oh well glad to be able to use some bomber perks. :salute
