I've tried downloading the beta 3 times now and it gets right down to the end and the download crashes and it says "Your computer is doing too many things right now. Try again later."
The download is the only thing running on my PC though and I have to restart from the beginning every time.
What do?
-
I assume that you have enough drive space_ the download is a large file. Also, picked up a "nasty" this week_ hopefully not but could be some malware attached to your OS. Especially since this is the only such report of that kind that I have heard.
If you can screenshot the exact message, it might help Skuzzy to help you identify the problem.

Yeah plenty of drive space. Still have 330GB free. I'll run a virus scan tonight when I leave for work and let it run overnight.
Here is a screenshot of what I'm getting.

That's just weird what web browser are you running
-
Check your Task Manager and see what's up.... (how many processes and such)

That is most certainly Chrome.
-
Are you trying to run it remotely (i.e. running it instead of downloading it first), or running it after the download is done?
-
Sorry for slow response. I've just changed over to working nights and I'm all screwed up right now :rolleyes:
It it most definitely the Chrome browser.
No I'm not trying to run it, I just click the big red download button on the Aces High home page and let it start downloading automatically.
-
I am having the same problem.
I am using chrome with plenty of hard drive space.
I got real frustrated trying to dl the beta that i just finally gave up.
-
it looks like an issue with chrome, possibly a newer version of it.

they have an internet download manager but I saw elsewhere that folks say that's even worse.
Possibly just try a differnet browser.
I'm using chrome version Version 47.0.2526.111 m and had no issues.
-
Yeah Kanth . . . I think you might be right.
I just tried to download the beta using Firefox and it worked fine. Got it downloaded, installed and opened the game.
I guess now I will be like a lot of other loyal members that will either be buying a new computer with better graphics or finding another similar type game to play on my laptop that runs AHII just fine.
-
I had the same problem with Chrome and the Alpha. The file would download but it was as if it was corrupted or something. It worked fine with Firefox.
-
Mine finally worked on the 5th attempt for whatever reason. AH3 eats my PC alive but overall pretty cool. :aok
On a side note.. Does anyone here know how much video ram it uses? I have 1GB in my card but it maxes it out near max graphics.
-
chaser, according to what Skuzzy has said, 1 GB video ram or more is recommended for playability. IIRC the minimum has been said to be 512 Mb.

I had to do a delete of the older version of Beta and do a clean install. The upgrade would download and install then ask me if I wanted to run the game, if I said yes it would start the game then tell me I had a old version and needed to upgrade. Did this 4 or 5 times till I uninstalled and installed the full version. Copied the .JSM, .KMD, .HPS and everything runs great. Solid 59-60 FPS Only thing I have turned off is the shadows just because I don't like them, personal preference.
