Title: Crash to Desktop trying to enter Online Arenas
Post by: Nefarious on March 02, 2017, 08:11:50 PM
So, As I mentioned here: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,385523.0.html

I was unable to create a custom arena yesterday, it kept loading ndisles instead of what I was selecting. So...

I tried tonight to do it again, well it worked but it had pink skies! I started several arenas, during this time I switched the time to night and night was normal, and then went into the Main Arena. Where it was also Pink sky.

I then rebooted my PC and tried again, where now it crashes to desktop upon entry of any online arena. Offline Arenas work fine and I was able to fly offline.

Please help, hoping to host Combat Challenge tomorrow! <S>

If you haven't tried DX9 version (aceshigh9.exe) instead of DX11 version (aceshigh11.exe), I recommend trying that and see if the problem persists.

Just logged into MA and created a custom Arena... No issues at all!

Something must be messed up on my end. Crossing my fingers and hoping it stays OK.

Nef, did you do anything to your PC or game install to try and fix the issue?

Edit: if not did you just get fed up and shut your computer off for the evening? each day/night?

Is it possible your video.cfg file has become corrupt?

No. I did nothing but turn it off for the night. Turned ot on this morning, was going to redownload this morning and reinstall this evening but I decided I would try opening the game this morning. Worked perfectly.

I turned off the PC and went to work, will try again this evening in preparation for CC.

Nef, in case you're running Win8 or later, press Shift while shutting down. That will make Windows do a fresh start instead of a semi-hibernate wake-up. The permanent solution would be to disable "Fast Startup" (https://www.howtogeek.com/243901/the-pros-and-cons-of-windows-10s-fast-startup-mode/) in Power Management settings

Thank you, will do that.
