Hey all, former rook thinking of returning to the game. I'm just wondering how the game's doing atm. How many concurrent players and what the deal is with the arenas. I checked yesterday and the was no early, mid, or late war arenas just some open melee thing. Is there no more open war maps?
-
The Melee arena is the new Main Arena.
The new game is wonderful, come join us.
-
game is doing good... we do need some of the old players back... every member of the family is missed... the new game has lots of eye candy and some great improvements.... I will not lie there are some growing pains but it is nothing big...

Thanks for the quick replies! Good thing about the Open melee just being the main arena, I was scared it would just be a big dumb furball like warthunder. One more question I had is how is the new beta running? Usually there's a bunch of bugs with these type things.
-
There is no more beta, it's more of a live test now. If you look in the Bug Reports form, there's a 'gumbo' of issues related to screen stutters and some freezes that a handful of players are having that HTC can't recreate on their systems, that they're trying to find the root cause of. It's pretty perplexing, but it's to be expected with a new release of this scale.
They're just working on ironing everything out and I'm sure AH will be well on it's way forward in a few months.

:aok Hope to see you there. Check with folks about some things to help tweak your settings for optimal play (due to new version changes in field of view and certain visibility issues with tracers = both ground and air vehicles).

AH3. It's fun. :aok

Come on in..the waters fine
But shark infested....... :devil

Come on in..the waters fine.
Since we are in airplanes, it should be "The air is fine."

Thanks all! I'll have to jump on the offline tonight and see how she feels, wish i still had my two week free trial lol
-
Run the DX9 version if you are using a monitor. The DX11 version will have stutters right now.

Ask for another one.
-
Wait does HTC actually provide new trials if you've been away for a long while?
-
I can't answer that for HTC. But long ago I once asked for a 2nd 2-week trial after having been away from the game a bit and there had been some new additions and they hooked me up. It can't hurt to ask, the worse that could happen is they say no.
-
Awesome! Thanks for the idea, i'll shoot an email out now.

That is not true for everyone. None of systems at HTC have the issue and many players do not have it either. We know of one random one, which happens with both DX9 and DX11. The rest are hit and miss.

I've been out if town for the last 8 weeks and I return next week. I can't Wait to jump back in again! The games is awesome. Join up.

In game after beta and several updates I started having them. Everyone said in dx9 they didn't and they were telling everyone to use dx9. I tried it and it worked. In beta never had the issue in dx11.

Shuffler what card do you have? I have a 980 Nvidia card. I run d9 just fine but with dx11 I miss some lights in the cockpits and I get micro freezes with Dx11. In dx9 I do not get micro freezes but I sometimes get some warpy things going on. I have a great connection with Time Warner Cable with 300mbps internet......dont know why i would get warps, maybe its the other guy connection??.....again HTC is working on the fine tuning of everything at the moment....... :rock :rock
-
I've gotta say that I did have mini-freezes in DX11 and I have a very capable PC to run AH with. When I tried using the DX9 version I did not have mini-freezes.
It's not the connection. Connection same playing both versions. Mini-Freezes just disappeared when using DX9 which I use 100% of the time now. May have
something involved with the use of 3D Glasses which I understand the DX11 ver. is constructed to do. Just an uneducated guess on my part.

Come on back Southpaw....Be glad to see ya back :aok

EVGA 970 with everything on. Runs great but now I get a slight freeze every so often in DX11.
I'm not complaining as I know that sooner or later it will get fixed. I just switched to DX9 like everyone said they did.
My connectioin is clean and nothing running in the background. I have 150 dn and 50 up.

I returned over a month ago (got the itch) and thus far my only issues have been with the trees being like a third enemy, and the existence of the storch (Fi 156) is a pain in the patoot. :joystick:
All in all though it's been great to see some of the names I flew with back in the early 2000's, and hopefully more return and give AHIII a shot.

Once again thanks all! HTC was nice enough to extend a one week trial to me so I'm back in the skies trying out the new version!

What's your verdict?
-
:airplane: I'm liking it, and odds are once the trial runs out, i'll reup my sub again.
