Title: Update has caused problems...can't access game
Post by: Max on August 27, 2020, 12:40:44 PM
Following a standard game update, the screen locks up with the following:
Init Failed with-9
MainWLD-Failed-1


Is this just me or everyone else?

Were you running the film viewer or any other ah tool during the update?

If so go to the temp folder in aces high and run the patch again.

What did you do to fix it?

Clicked on the OK button in the fail message and it took me to the front screen of AH. Before that the cursor would disappear behind message panel.

Same.  Skins are not working.
The Skins folder is still there and appears to contain all of the skins.  They just don't show up in game.

Same thing happened to me, the skins aren't available in the MA. They do show up as available in offline practice.

Same issue. Patch fails and skins aren't available. I'm also having additional problems since the WINDOWS update...
1) AH recognizes BOTH the Thrustmaster virtual controller AND the Flight stick. This is creating a duality. It has assigned some default function to the Flight stick so now when I push a button I get the operation I programmed in the virtual controller and the autofilled default function from the flight stick.
2) my CH peripherals keep getting un-recognized. I boot they are there, a short time later they are not recognized. Un-plugging them and plugging them back in doesn't work. I re-boot and repeat.
So I'm out of action until I figure this all out.

I tried several time to run the updater last night. It timed out every time. I checked my a/v and firewall settings. I eventually decided to d/l'd the entire game again (d/l over night).


Now the game works fine.

I find it to be the same Mano.... I hate when I have to reinstall the game.....what I am capable of downloading and what I can grab the game at is confusing... but...luckily i don't need to do that too often
