But AcesHighSteam works.
EXE that don't work show a different date than AcesHighSteam if that matters. Also, I had updated via Steam.
I get error dialog:
"Error
Initialization failed with -9
mainWLD_FAILED -1"

Odd that it is still it the distro.
Well, I have dx 12 installed.
I was able to run the AcesHigh9.exe until I patched this morning.
And I can't run the AcesHigh11 either starting this morning.
I'm fine running the steam version. Just a heads up.

The problem is YOUR download failed for what ever reason. A full download of the game and install OVER your game installation will fix it.

I'll try that.

This is a problem that happens at the Windows file system level when a patch is issued. It can be exacerbated when running the game from an SSD, but can also happen on hard drives.
Running any anti-xxxx software, during a patch, can increase the odds of the problem occurring.
Fixing it is a matter of removing the game desktop ICONS, then doing a full installation over the top of the existing one.

Me too.
Sigh

If the patch does not fail, there is nothing we can do about this.
It is a file system failure mode we have no control over. Usually due to an SSD or an anti-xxxx program interfering with the game.

A clean, full re-install fixed me.
Is there a way to fake the server to attempt the patch again? Or make the patch available as a separate manual download as well? Without have to do the whole enchilada?
Doing a full re-install worked, but it is a pain as I'm sure a lot of that download I didn't need.
:salute

You can create a Windows restore point before every patch. Using that should undo a failed patch.
The patch is stored in the AcesHigh III/Temp folder so you should also be able to rerun it in case it has not been corrupted during the download.

You do not need to do a restore point. The patch utility will recognize the files that were successfully patched and only attempt to patch the ones that need to be patched.
