Title: Game does not work with fresh reinstall.
Post by: Animl-AW on May 22, 2024, 07:27:14 AM
Trying to finish motA, Had brand new issues with AHFV. I uninstalled AH and reinstalled in attempt to fix the new bugs. Now all I get is a white window when attempting to run it.

I got in instantly with new IP change. Now I get nothing at all.

Saved my settings folder. Doesn’t work using old settings folder nor the reinstalled.
Added AH to Nvidia 3D settings list.

Nothing works. Never had this problem before.

Everything was good except Fv. I use xfinity for connection

Lost in space.

I think we can all take note of who the real trash on the bbs is with obsessive mental issues. I live in their small heads rent free, with no effort at all. :)

While I don't know you from a hill of beans, I can't help but notice your omnipresent posting, decrying anything & anyone who fails to fit your criteria as to a worthy member of AH3 & AHBB.

You've transitioned from posting to relentless ranting...supposedly in defense of protecting the present player base from the woeful opinions of those who've left the game. You've become an irritating noise similar to the non-stop mating call of the Cicadas (of which there are millions nearby) In short, you've become the weird uncle no one wants at the Thanksgiving Day table. We'll all be fine while you sort out the voices in your head. Consider giving it a rest.

Thats why they continue, they don’t have to meet me. And are probably happy about that. Punks do what punks do. <shrug> I don’t control them, they make their own bad decisions.

I have s feeling this is IP related? If it affects me it will affect many.

Now I get the opening screen but then it crashes.

So sad

A person seeking tech help and the mental mush moves in to wipe their thread out. And ya wonder why your numbers struggle? Seriously, “why” is really a question? Some of you literally run people out just to look tough harassing people unprovoked. Ya shoot your mouths off, ya earn a reply that hurt your fragile butts and ya quadruple down on being dipshts, just to seek another butt hurt reply so ya can continue victim mode.

These are professional victims who thrive on harassing a target because they are literally addicted to victim mode.

Ya need to look no further than a bathroom mirror why people leave. Ya don’t give any consideration at all the collateral damage ya cause as long as ya get your daily dose of drama and victimhood. Ya blame everyone but yourself and gaslight every situation blaming the person you attacked unprovoked.

Its mysterious why numbers struggle?

Don’t dare talk to me about mental issues nor being under the influence.

Professional victims always looking and provoking a situation to be a victim. Taking every advantage of no supervision on the bbs to do it.

Ya had these problems long before my return, you’ll have them when I leave, it will just be a different target.

This small group is a cancer. I know angry 15 yr old girls who cause less drama. Ta run off someone who donates their time to try to help the game just to be in the spotlight of being a victim of yourselves, and you’re proud of it. The mental disorders are down right blinding. This is what you want new or return players to see?

Others are right on the money, you deserve zero attention you beg for. You don’t care who you run off to achieve it.

Talk about someone unaware of themselves is pure projection of a professional victim “poor me”.

Ya really going to rampage a thread seeking tech answers? Pathedic.

 I’m happy that you worked through your tech issues.

That out of the way, there is an entire section of this bbs dedicated to exactly tech  support.  It has been my personal experience that you will get exactly that there with minimal BS.

I hope this was helpful, have a nice day.

Utoh.

I posted here hoping HT might read it and have a fix. Thinking it was a possible IP issue. Prolly not, its mysterious.

By far a vast mistake at best. Exactly my point in the locked thread. Ya can’t have a better example. Paying to be run off by professional victims who suffer no recourse for the damage they cause.

All this and no joy at all for a fix, just unleashed toxic attacks. Is the really any question why I eould pull the plug? Now I want to stay just to spite the living hell out of them. Never hand idiots success for bring idiots.

This passage contains several instances of logical fallacies:

Ad Hominem: The author attacks individuals personally rather than addressing their arguments or points. For example, "Some of you literally run people out just to look tough harassing people unprovoked." and "Ya shoot your mouths off, ya earn a reply that hurt your fragile butts and ya quadruple down on being dipshts..."

Straw Man: Misrepresenting someone's argument to make it easier to attack. For example, "Ya blame everyone but yourself and gaslight every situation blaming the person you attacked unprovoked." There's no specific argument presented, but rather an exaggerated version of the opposing viewpoint.

Generalization: Making broad, sweeping statements about a group of people based on the actions of a few. For example, "This small group is a cancer." and "Others are right on the money, you deserve zero attention you beg for."

Appeal to Emotion: Trying to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument. For example, "Talk about someone unaware of themselves is pure projection of a professional victim 'poor me'." and "Ya really going to rampage a thread seeking tech answers? Pathedic."

Loaded Language: Using emotionally charged words to sway the reader without providing evidence or logical reasoning. For example, "The mental disorders are down right blinding."

Non Sequitur: Conclusions that do not logically follow from the premises. For example, "Its mysterious why numbers struggle?" This statement does not logically follow the preceding arguments.

These fallacies weaken the overall argument and make it less convincing.

I won’t even read this focus shifting tripe.

You spend 10-12 hrs a day harassing me. You have obsessive issues I want no where near me.
10-12 hrs a day.  Lets all think about that. Its way past the relm of ridiculous. I want ZERO to do with you, nor the other 4. Zero

This is purely on you 5, totally, own yourselves.

10-12 hrs a day.  Lets all think about that. Its way past the relm of ridiculous. I want ZERO to do with you, nor the other 4. Zero
Ad Hominem: The statement "You have obsessive issues I want nowhere near me" attacks the person directly rather than addressing the argument or content being presented.

Appeal to Ridicule: The phrase "ficus shifting tripe" dismisses the content without engaging with its actual substance, using ridicule as a means to undermine the argument without providing valid reasons.

Black-or-White Fallacy: The statement "I want ZERO to do with you, nor the other 4. Zero" presents a binary choice (either complete involvement or complete disengagement) without considering any middle ground or alternative options.

Overall, the passage contains multiple logical fallacies, making it less effective in presenting a coherent argument.

go to this link and download the file. Place it in the Aces High III directory with the .exe files.

After some experimentation, i narrowed it down to the stdshape.res file which is generated after install. So it will not be in a fresh copy of the game. Something is going wrong with that for new installs. It probably is IP related. Some process within the game is calling to an old address when its generating that file. Just my guess.  I could be totally wrong.

Hopefully that file works. Its a 2gb download from my working game directory.

Does this mean that every person who downloads the game will get the same white screen when they try to run it??
I'm guessing Steam would have the same issue?

The new problem is the game cannot manually download all the maps, like when you want to change terrain in practice offline mode.

If you go to an arena it will download what is loaded, but not manually. I'm trying to get the maps used in MotA to finish a video of it.

What a headache.

I zipped up my terrain folder and added it to the same link I sent earlier. I only flew one frame of MoTA, so I am not sure if I have all the maps if they were different for each frame. If not, maybe someone else can share theirs?
