Yes I am installing a new host, it also has the debug in it, but your arena will be rebooted.

I got up for a few minutes an discoed.  The second time the disco was caused by closing the arena.

It took me two tries to get in the AHII arena.  I also run in the background a program called TechHeal that monitors my PC and lets me know if I have any problems

with the registry and other files.  When I checked TechHeal I had a problem with what was called called Com&ActiveX area.  This is after being in the SEA Beta arena for testing.

Took two tries to enter AHII, flew for about three minutes and got booted hard!  I did cntrl/alt/delete and I couldn't access Task Manager because my USB mouse for some reason

disappeared!  :headscratch:

It acts like the b-MA and b-SEA are locked. The others I checked are open.

I was just at Beta SEA arena.  It was closed after flying about 5 minutes.  I entered the superfly test arena and I discoed again.   Getting discoed when I never did before.

I discoed so hard I did a cntr./alt/delete and I couldn't select task manager because my USB mouse disappeared.  I had to do a hard reboot to get started again.

I'm not the only one with the problem.  I re entered Beta 9 and out of the 14 of us in there at least 3 confirmed they had to do the same thing I did.  Hard Boot required.

That made 4 of the 14 that responded have the same problem.

I was on for 7-8 min and the game crashed. got the Aces High EXE is not working message. Had to stop game using task manager. Got back on for about 15 min with no problem. Watched a town capture. Troop icons showed. Also confirmed reload sounds in shore bats and cruiser. FPS were mid 30s to 80s while there were two planes strafing and bombing my T34with all defaults except env slider at none. Best I have seen. There may be hope for my Radeon 6950 after all.

Updated without issues. The frame rate seems to be somewhat higher than in previous versions. In the hangar some skins showed as active, yet they didn't change.

The reason it appears different is due to how the word is drawn when you are inside the cockpit, versus outside.  It only impacts the view of things within the radius of your plane.  The last two images are correct.

The real solution is to keep your plane out of the trees. :)

We do it this way to fix issues with Z buffering near plane setting and floating point resolution.

It was really surreal when I flew a lanc along side of a hanger with my wing part way inside of it.

"floating point resolution"
would 64bit fix this?

If you mean making AH 64 bit, no it would not fix it.

It is the floating point stencil buffer format on graphic cards which is only 24 bit.

I seem to have found a graphics anomaly when destroying guns on a ship  there is a black square that pops up for just a second then goes away
