Was up for about 1.5 hours after installing latest patch when I was in tower typing furiously when AH froze like an ice cube.
Had to reset computer. After windows loaded had to restore active desktop but unlike previous freezes wasnt asked to check drives for errors by windows.
Stay tuned.......
-
FWIW. No lock ups in H2H. Getting them in the main. No bombers around.
-
So far, so good.
-
I was in H2H. I was about to shoot down a B-17 formation that was already on it's way down, when everything just froze. Had to re-start my machine.
I am sure HTC will get this fixed, I'm a patient person. Just glad it happened in H2H.

While attacking a B-17 formation right on the deck, my FE froze for about 5 seconds. When it unfroze, I was too close to the water to recover and augered. That bites. Worse, some buff dweeb got the proxy (I hate proximity kills).
This happened again later, but I was high enough to avoid another crash.

Had 1 hard lockup yesterday,,,,in 1 hour play.
-
So far, 1 CTD with patch 3. At least one other squadie had a simultaneous CTD. (I had very few with the other 1.10 versions.)
-
is it the bombers? I was diving in on a formation of ki 67
when 'whifffff' off to the desktop i went.
2nd time i had just mad a pass a t a formation of 17's
when ;wiffffff'' off to the desktop.
wow..i am a senior member!!!
:cool:
whats next?!?!

No problem last night in the Snapshot, and there were Ju88 formations present (even though our CO told us to go for the 109s... when the buffs were right there below us over the channel. :( )
-
I made a point of being near B17 formations in situations that would cause me to freeze in the past. Even followed a 9 b17 group for few sectors while theywere under attack. No freezes anymore. (Would be interesting to run last sundays snapshot again to see what happens.)
I am however gettign an occassional DdHelp error CTD, which requires a reboot before AH will run again. Not serious though, only happened once all night when I clicked to take off in DA.
Warps and delays were HORRIBLE yesterday. I am going to blame my one CTD as being somehow related to that.

I'm in the same boat as Yeager. CTD's for no reason. Had a hard lock up too last week. FIRST TIME EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN PLAYING ACES HIGH BETA 1.0!!!
Patch 3 seems to snafu my sound too. Hope it's only temporary... :D
-
No lockups in 3 flights and 2 hours of play immediately after upgrading with patch 3. This included multiple attacks on B-17 formations around a heavily defended airfield (ie lots of planes).
So far, so good.

I've yet to get a CTD since 1.10 came out. I've gotten quite a few discos (more this campaign than in the 7 months I've been playing AH) but not one CTD.
Don't know why I've been immune, maybe it's just Dweeb's Luck. Running a GF3 Ti200 128meg w/ Detonator 5 30.30 (beta) drivers and DirectX8.1b. Some other players have also reported that as soon as they updated their DirectX to Directx8.1b, the CTD's have stopped for them. Maybe this will help some of you guys having problems with CTD's.

my patch experience:
Locked up again after a 1/2 hour had to unplug CPU and plug backin, during freeze same vox message over and over like a broken record.. Another 1/2 hour freeze again... this time scandisk and system file repairs again... all planes warp now..
the fun meter is shrinking here!!!

With this new patch, I've CTD'd about 5 times...most while in Tower or hangar (once, configuring a Me 262...no no no!).
No bombers neear.
Went from annoying to aggravating now. But, plenty of beer to keep nerves at bay, but re-enforcements may be needed :D
-
Maybe an hour and a half flying last night, no CTD's, no freezes.
Fingers crossed.

Last evening, I suffered 2 CDTs and 3 freezes.
CDTs occurred once while in the tower, once when manning a CV gun turret.
When freezes occurred, there were bomber formations involved, both friendly and enemy. My first one, I was in an M16 when a friendly Buff formation got whacked on takeoff. I had one kill in the bank. The second happened while attacking a formation of Ju 88s. I exploded all three, then locked up. My last freeze happened when attacking two formations of low-level B-17s. I lost 5 kills on this one. More than 3 weeks now, still no solution for the freeze bug. Apparently, there are other instability factors beyond those addressed by patch 3. I’ll bet that I’ve lost 75+ kills and acquired 20+ deaths due to these problems. Discos, however, have been few a far between for me.

After many CTD's in patch 2, I downloaded the full install and started over. No more CTD's, AT ALL! BUT.......... after installing patch 3, I crash EVERY time from the login screen. No matter whether I click on ONLINE or OFFLINE, as soon as it tries to start the game itself, CTD occurs. Oh, and this even happens when viewing film. As soon as it tries to enter the "game" to replay the actual film, CTD. I tried reinstall of 1.10 2 and re-do of patch 3, but still same prob. I can't even play in any form at this point... still investigating possible causes.

Got a full freeze last night in the MA (Baltic Terrain) Was flying a Spitfire V north of A41. Saw a red dot on DAR NE of me so went that way. got in icon range as a B-26. No probs yet. Two friendlies get there first and layeth the smack down on him. I'm about 4.0k out. I see the lead B-26 go down while looking thorugh the left forward view (7 on the numpad), and all of a sudden, one of the drones starts stuttering. A second later, the freeze occurs with the friendlies and B-26 about 3.6k from me. Only freeze/CTD I've had since Patch 3.
-
Had lock ups when trying new Nvidia drivers 29.42. Havent had one since I went back to my old drivers.
-
I installed DX 8.1b.. still same problem. Reinstalled the full install of 1.10.2, then let autoupdater redownload patch 3. This worked, as game runs fine now. Possibly corrupt file in patch 3 from my first download, ... dunno, but it works now.

CTD's mostly happen around bombers? Only thing that happens to me around bombers is that I get a dramatic loss of frame rates if they start firing at me, fps drops from 85 to around 20fps. Only happens when the bombers start firing though, be it a flight or single plane.

Day two, prolly 2 1/2 hours total time so far.
No CTD's no freezes..
Fingers still crossed, be putting some time in this weekend.
-
I did a full format of my HD then reinstalled windows etc. to include DX8.1b. I also got the latest drivers for sound and vid card. I then did a fresh download of AH, the version with the #3 patch. Verdict. CTD's are still there. They are not as bad but they still happen. Buffs have no impact on them.
Close but no cigar here.

Active desktop.. keheheh.

Last night I got CTDs every 1 to 5 minutes.
