Everytime I fly, I feel like quitting.
Firday's TOD: Ends in a CTD (for me)
Snapshot Sunday: Ends in Hard lock up
Out of my 4 262's Deaths: 2 were Hard lock up's
I usually dont whine, but this is unbarable. I can stand the lag in the SEA, but this is really annoying. I get an average of 2-3 CTD/Hard Lock up's a day, when normally, i would get 1 a month.
I am really not enjoying this :(
-
same I reistalled ah still nothing helps hard lock up in tod
ctd then lock up in snapshot
1 time a day hardlock up and 1 ctd...........
Frustrating

My computer locked-up when attacking B17's in the snapshot today, so did my wingie klem.:(

This is one of those few instances where it would be nice to hear something official. Like "yeah, we gots a leetle problemo here" and "were working it top priority"/ I know for a fact this is the case as do most of us probably -but still, wouldnt hurt for just a little acknowlegement on the subject by HTC. Especially since its been ongoing for what? three weeks now.
Oh well...press on
-
I've been looking for it, trying to recreate it for the past 2 weeks. No luck what so ever yet. Any info on what it is related to is greatly apreciated. Things like were you near a cv, buffs shooting at you anything like that.

HiTech maybe this will help. Always happened to me after attacking a box of buffs. I make a pass and knock one down, I change view in cockpit to locate buffs after pass. Remaining Buffs appear to be going nose down, then they go in reverse back up, go back down and reverse back up. This all happens very fast while looking at the remaining buffs in the box. Shortly thereafter ctd for me. May be just coincidence.
-
it's always random for me hitech
though it never seems to happen around enemy cons. i also have hardware issues so what i'm getting might not be what everyone else is
if it happens at the con i'll track you down :)
-
Not sure if its related Hitech but (as already mentioned in the connectivity forum) I had major probs just getting into the MA yesterday. Big big variance spikes.
tried again this morning and was sweet, nice and smooth.
I have had ctds and locks ups as well over the last week or so but as I am in NZ on a 56k modem I assumed it was my problem.
Seems realted to the UDP/TCP switching and the only moment I can put my finger on is a CTD when I had just landed at a field. As soon as i braked to a halt and stopped everything got real slow. Clicking on Tower nothing happened. 5 - 6 clicks later I finally exited.
-
i'm not sure it's related to any thing, i've had lockups under all the mentioned conditions, falling bombers, furballs , etc etc, i've also had hard lockups flying all my myself with nobody around, also had lockups sitting in the tower wile afk.
dosen't seem to be hard ware related , fast or slow computers lockup, all the different OS's lockup.
i hope you can find the fix, good luck

HT,
Ive been playing the past few days in the CT (because it has an excellent setup going) and I havent had nary a problem. I also defragged all my drives a few days back. I will spend some time in the MA shortly and pay special attention, maybe even just let film roll for every sortie and report back if a CTD occurrs again.
P.S. Thanks fer asking ;)
-
I have CTD's very often ...and about 25% of them happen in the hangar while clicking on the clipboard to choose runway/spawnpoint(gv), the rest happens randomly.
It got a lot worse after older old maps got back into rotation
-
Mine have been random. And I do not think this is a connectivity issue...I've had two CTDs while practicing offline.
-
mine are happening in the air ussually just after a busy dogfight/furball match . im swapping views ,looking around alot then it seams to happen mostly in a right hand turn as im lining up my next target .(6 of my lock ups have had an nme plane in my gunsite 375-500 range, and im turning to the right )
Im starting to sense the lock ups because its like the veiws stutter as im changing them or the video pauses . its hard to explain .

hitech,
I've had about 100 of them in the tower this tour, its been especially bad this week. Mostly when I switch fields or go to a hanger. Next most common is when I click on the "Fly" button (these are not being recorded as discos and happen the instant I click). Of the 30ish "in flight" CTDs that I've had this tour, most have been in the first minute of a sortie. I fly in the CT and MA and am getting them in both arenas.
I have also had many times when I have played over an hour without a CTD.
Most of my CTDs are instant. The game just disapears without showing any signs of disstress. I have also had about 5 lock-ups, where the puter screen just freezes and I can't alt-tab, ctrl-alt-delete or alt-F4. I end up pulling the plug on those.
Thanks,
eskimo
-
same with eskimo here ctds happen when in tower and clicking to another field or spawning.
Lockups are random but maybe linked to ahv switching of views and lots dots in a small area. Total guess :(
-
i was happy until today;)
one when im push be accident alt-a and take look at left-back view same time.
secound, when im driving osti and aim to formation of ki67 and change view from front to top-front.
same situation happend me 4 times during 5 minuts when im back and take osti again.
btw XP proffesional OS
it does happend's only nvidia chip?

It's not just the NVidia chips. I get CTD's several times a night on my Radeon. It seems to be random when I get them. Most of the time though I think it's when I'm changing my views with my joystick hat.

Mine are random,tho sometimes it seems to happen when pulling up or "returning" the clipboard.
Have had a couple in the tower,i think we need to try it offline more.
I have noticed,at a friend's house (mij0ie),that his screen will freeze for quarter sec,then recover,mine never recovers,tho i think that is hardware related,his pc much better spec'ed than mine.
Here's a thought,are we all running a soundpack/and or custom sights?
Post your aces config:
me running mitsu's latest sounds,i don't see how this could be related but....
Also custom alpha blended sights :)

I have random ctds, buff attack ctds, also crash bug still exists. Some dweeb shot my P47 down and I tail ended to sea and computer freezed.
Buff formation ctds are weird, you dont have to even attack them yourself, its enough if you are close if someone attacks them.

Hitech, the most striking example I've seen was this one: There were multiple planes in the air near an airfield (AKDesert). There were 3 M3s w/troops near the airfield. After one m3 captured the field, all 3 M3s simulataneously discoed.

-
I got a PC freeze (screen lockin-up) in the MA of AKDesert.
I was flying B-26 with 3-ship formation over A16, I destroyed Town, FH, and VH by level bombing at 13k, and 2 niks attacked me, 1 nik died (but I didn't get a kill message, maybe), and I loaded man gunner, and he shot down another nik. my 2 drones got the moderate damages and begins smoking, and 1 minute later, PC locked-up.
This is my story....
Well, this freeze bug is pretty dangerous, unfortunately Aces High may destroy Windows or HDD with this bug. I really hope HT will address it and fix it. :(
-
Until Friday before last, I hard locked or CTD on numerous occassions. Nothing was consistent except for receiving the UDP to TCP message, which once I got it, I would then lock or CTD. Also after these lockups, my joystick would get deleted and 2 Microsoft gamepads, which I don't have, would be in it's place.
Friday before last I clean installed AH. Since then only 2 CTD's. Once in the tower, once in a shore gun. Nothing consistent about either of them.
-
HiTech et all
Haven't had a CTD for a few days (haven't been playing over the weekend much). Here's the similarities I've noticed...
1) Very high alt near a Fleet (I couldnt see it under me, just the ack puffs, then I was at the desktop)
2) Attacking B-17 formation. The lead bomber (with icon) would hold steady, then the 2 auto-bombers would warp back n forth badly, then >poof< desktop.
Those mentioned above have happened 3 or 4 times.
But, then again, I've had times where Im in a 109 G10, diving down on a formation of bombers, and no auto-bomber warping and no CTDs. On BOTH occasions, net status was smooth with server pings in the 120-140 range.
Good luck tracking this down.
P.S. What's the ditty on a bigger connection to the servers? Saw massive server and chat lag last night (7/28). TY! 485 players online when I was in. (11pm EST)
-
Mine are random
-
I've CTD'd dropping eggs on HQ from an A20G (so did Cav, we both CTD'd), I've CTD'd shooting at buffs, I've even CTD's while in the tower, all I did was click setup to check netstat and CTD'd. It's random.
Although......I have noticed you actually have to *do* something in order to CTD. It doesnt just happen out of the blue, at least for me, it happens just as I click on something or hit a joystick button, etc. Never just CTD when flying along happily on auto pilot.

no screen freezes for me since ur fix for that. but
CTDs happen anytime anywhere. flying alone over land, over water, in the tower, voice/no voice, typing chat, in fights, no fights, it so random u cant link it together. even in planes of different types, and GVs.

I also heard someone the other night, don't remember who, screamin' that his whole squad had just locked or CTD while they were flying 262's. The whole squad at the same time. I advised him to post it on the bug report forum. I thought that was kinda wierd.

Get a film of yesterdays snapshot Hitech - your answer is somewhere in there. Try checking when the B-17s were in the a61 area. This seems to be when at least one mass simultaneous system lockup occured.
Oddly one of the people that got that lockup (Wotan) was in the tower for his freeze. Pretty bad to get lockup even when on the ground - must be something useful to know in that. (I wonder if he was in A61 tower - close enough to the action to be affected?)
One person remained of all in our group (Moot). He says he saw all the people dissappear from the channel list simultaneously.
I another thread I saw a reference to a B17 pilot bailing from his plane and then freezing in the same area.
This is the best lock-up event to investigate. It happened to alot of people and all in the same general area and, as far as I can tell, at the same time.
I do not have a film - I am sure someone must.
-
I used to have lockups that occured when B-17's were around... not everythime I saw a group... but every lockup occured when a group was nearby.
Since P2, I've been getting CTDs occasionally. The one I had yesterday was very peculiar. I was in a P-40E defending a vehicle base and was beginning a straffing run on a Panzer. There were a couple of friendly panzers in the area and a couple of enemy fighters. As I closed to within 700 yards the panzer disappeared. I flew past where he was and saw him reappear after I passed. 2 seconds later I CTD'd.

HiTech:
I haven't flown much over the past month and a half. I was up for a few hops this past Friday/Saturday early a.m. (EST) and experienced a CTD. Then again on Saturday I had another one. For the rest of my time in the MA on Saturday/Sunday (a.m.) I experienced slight freezes as I would land and go to the tower, my screen froze and it took about 30 seconds or so for me to move to the tower but, I did not have any crashes.
I use cable modem and have my vid settings at 1024x768 16bit. I check my netstatus readings and this past saturday, they seemed steady; prior to new patch my Host Queue readings were consistently erratic; they are much less of an issue now.
-
Well prior to this version, I don't remember a CTD since i went to win2000 (and then to XP right after it came out). I have had a couple of hard lockups but very few (had a few occurences of the tail slide into to deck caused lockup). Since 1.10 I have had 2 locks both when an enemy bomber crash into the deck in my forward view. On the other hand I have had numerous CTD 2 or more on nearly every session. Usually happens within the first few minutes of logging in. I have seen no pattern what so every, just flying along, or in a dogfight, or taking off, or landing,or...... whatever then desktop. relog play a little longer this time but after a few minutes band CTD. Then relog and no more problems for the rest of the night or until i log out for awhile and log back in.
This doesn't occur every time but upwards of 70% of the time. I have removed AH. Defragged and reinstalled AH completely from scratch but that didn't help. It is a little irretating but I have seen much worse problems in any number of games. So regardless of the hyperbole, this is not the end of world (or AH for that matter). I am sure you are searching hard for the solution but at this point it does seem a little elusive. BTW - I have not had this happen in the CT or SEA (at least not yet).
-
How manyof us that are getting lockups use custom sounds?
-
I do not use custom sounds. I know that others that are getting the lockups do.
I also know that the last time it happened to me, it happened to a few others also. That's not a sound bug.

Yes, then I deleted them and had the same system lockups.

That makes it sound even more network related hitech. Assuming you're connecting via lan rather than dial-up or broadband.
The con may be a good test. If no lockups for those present, sure would seem to be network related to me.
I can play for many hours without a hiccup and then get 2 ctd's or freezes within an hour.

My CTDs are completely random. I've had em in the tower, on runway, level flight with no cons nearby, climbout AFK taking a dump even.
The pattern usually goes, logon, have a few close together, gradually they get further apart til they're barely noticeable.
-
I could be wrong, but I think we're mixing two separate and distinct issues here. Guys that are getting CTDs, are you getting the Host Connection Lost first, or is it just outright dumping you to the desktop? The only time I ever get dumped to the desktop is on an outright disco, i.e. Host Connection Lost.
Now, hard freezes... I get those here and there. In almost every single occasion it's exactly when I switch a view.
http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=554588
If you're getting hard freezes, post your system specs there and where you got the freeze.
just from reading other posts on this, at first I thought it was an Nvidia issue, but Makarov says he's getting it with the Radeon 8500, although he says it's just CTDs for him and not hard freezes. The one guy saying he's got no problems has a nforce motherboard. Maybe everyone having hard lockups has Via 4in1 drivers? That's why everyone who's having these lockups needs to post their system specs to see if there is a common theme.
-
My crashes have no common effect, They happen about once every 3 hours of playing or so.
There is no preliminary warning syptoms
The effect is a locked screen with the view still there. The computer has to be reset.
XP reports a failure of my radeon card when I restart and askes me to send the report to Microsoft, which I did i one case.
My system is an 1800XP on an ASUS A7V333 mother board

My rate of crashes seems to match the rate of other assassins, someone is disapearing most every hour.....
The only thing I can think of is the new smoke.
-
One thing some guys might want to try is to play Aces OFFLINE and see if they get either freezes or crashes to desktop.
That would at least somewhat rule out if the bug is network related.
I've delt with these sort of flight sim bugs myself in development. They are the most difficult to find and often turn out to be related to some obscure part of the game code.
Plus, the usual Debug version of the game which has all of the bug flag asserts, and has a much larger .exe file size, often runs perfectly. It can drive a developer nutzo.
Recordings can sometimes be helpful in debugging some games. I'm not sure if the Aces recordings would be able to be read after a CTD or system freeze. High Tech would know about that.
If they can be salvaged, then maybe a recording could be played through the Debug version of the game and caught. Just speculation on my part though.

My CDT have no warning at any time just poof and im at my desktop

I've had 2 lockups with v1.10. Once in an M3 and the other attacking a bomber formation. 2 lockups for me is the most I've seen in a couple of years in AH. It is not a problem for me because of the infrequency that it happens.
BTW, I'm on dial-up and I get the switching to TCP message.
-
CTD's and freezes always seem to happen with a keyboard or joystick button push. Always for me in a nose down position. Quite a few have been on final or banking to the left. Freeze with an audio loop. CTD's are right to the desktop.
No warnings, no lag in the text buffer or stuttering visuals. My problems haven't been around bombers that I "know" of. Vehicles are a possiblility.

Hey Peter...see my post above. I happens offline too.

Mine are random CTDs. I have had it happen when I click a runway button in the tower. I have had it happen in the middle of a furball (in both a buff and a fighter)
I have had it happen in GVs and pressing the fire button on the Cruiser main guns.
I do hope you find it HT cuz it's unbelievably annoying.

I've had a couple hard freezes, but I can't remeber the circumstances. Only that those were the first ive had since i built this system about 8 months ago. As for CTD's they seem totally random. I have them flying, fighting, landing, in the tower afk. On land, in the sea, in the air, dosen't seem to matter.
When they happen there is no warning (that I've noticed.) One second I'm doing whatever, the next i'm looking at my desktop.

Thanks Crow. Humm. Random offline CTDs. Sounds like maybe the CTDs are game related and maybe the system freezes might be network related.
There's been some system freeze bug since 1.09. That bug was supposedly delt with in 1.10, but maybe not. With all the new features of 1.09 and 1.10 it's quite possible that we're looking at two different bugs. Maybe!
For you guys not familiar with how game programming works, basically the software runs through an infinite loop that generates frames for your video cards to display on your monitors. When something breaks the loop, suddenly you're looking at your desktop. When the loop hangs up, suddenly you're looking at a frozen frame, often with a repeating sound fragment.
What can cause either to happen? Just about anything.
My favorite cause. Cosmic rays! I forget which space probe it was, but one NASA probe computer kept having computer resets because cosmic rays kept hitting the computer RAM changing transistor bit polarities. Changing zeros to ones in some of the RAM kept messing up the software in RAM.
So, HT...blame it on Cosmic Rays. Anyway, I'll try the record thing. Maybe I can catch something. It's really an aggravating bug (or bugs).

Most my problems with lock ups,screen freeze,ect, happened with the new big map,was very happy when it rotated out,but then it rotated back,most people in my squad ive talked too,have said the "pizza" map messes with there system the most ,i personaly take a 40 fps hit on that map alone.
My .02 cents
Corn
-
Lockups are pretty much random and happening frequently. (Not CTD... just a good hard lockup).
One thing I've noticed... it's happened every time I've attacked a formation of Lancasters and at least once against a formation of B17's.
If I had to guess based totally on perception, I'd say sound was somehow part of the culprit... or something to do with sound anyway. I'm ALWAYS either sending or recieving voice, OR taking hits (or a combo) when I lock up. Always happens with some kind of action too... can fly all day without locking up as long as I stay by myself.
-
Progress on the lockups, It's not fixed yet , but managed to have it happen while in a debug session. Narrowed it down to an out of range Attitude in the drone system. My guess is it happens when a formation first comes into view.
Was here tell 7:30 last night looking at the debug session, was planing on continueing this morning, but the storm/power killed the debug session.
We got that little bugger corrnered, now to get out the 30 foot fly swater.

I hosted a h2h room for 10 hours straight yesterday . I did not experiance any ctd's or lock ups , the game ran smooth .
now some of the players did get the boot now and then . and i was informed by some that they ctd during buff formation attacks .
Hope this info helps.

Eieeeee. Two weeks flying in the Debugger. Finally recreating the lockup in Debugger...Almost found the code to fix...puff...power out. Aeeeeeeeee!

90% of my CTDs are just straight to desktop, no UDP message.

Man you just dont know how good that makes me feel even though you havent found the fix yet, at least we are closer to being back to normal. I have had 40 discoes due to lockup or CTD this month, used to only have a few. Most of mine happen when a three buff formation is somewhere in the area however I have had a few while in a vehicle and there were no planes in the area, but a vehicle was blown up in front of me and I was talking on AHV at the same time.
Oh by the way someone asked about playing off line I have had it happen while killing the drones off line with a A20 and FM2. I had one lock-up while diving on a vehicle base banking to the right, and just in case it helps it always goes to a loop on my machine. If someone is talking the last 10-15 words will keep looping over and over until I shut down the power, if something is blowing up or I am getting hit by the ack it loops.

FWIW, I've found that when I get a screen freeze I can do a ctrl-esc, alt-tab, ctrl-tab several times, no particular combination, I can eventually get the task manager up with ctrl-alt-del and end the aces high task. The mouse won't work until you end the task but once you shut down Aces High everything is normal. This may only work with Windows XP.

"Narrowed it down to an out of range Attitude in the drone system. My guess is it happens when a formation first comes into view."
Hitech, this doesn't seem to be the case with any of the freezes I have had. This should freeze the game when the bomber formation first comes into view, and so far that has never happend to me.
What HAS happend is that the lead gets shot down and while tumbeling down the drones will warp around until the lead explodes (or gets out of the drone range 1000yards?), then system freezes.
I know, I know, I have been writing this explaination for 10+ days now, but I really think this is where the problem is. :)
Now the CTD's.......

I've had about 5 total lockups, though can only remember details of 3:-
1) Whilst in Ostwind, killed lead Boston III in formation, at same time it dropped bombs and.... lockup.... presumed lockup on death.
2) In Typhoon, auto-takeoff.... lockup. No other aircraft sighted in area.
3) In P40E, came down vertical on airfield, vulched 109, lockup. 2 or 3 enemy aircraft in area.

In the CT and MA combined, I've logged 50 hours and had 60 discos. Most of the discos/CTD have been in the past few days. For every in flight disco, I get bunches on tower CTDs.
