Jeez Mash that sucks. I own three cars. Everyone of them was produced before 1990.

There's a rule somewhere written by someone that if you own a car of that vintage, it's a "hoopdee"

I own three hoopdee's.

You have a hoopdee too.

Don't tweek, it's beyond that. It's time for a new car.

I freeze up upon hitting the ok buttin on the Password screen.  I played AH2 beta without a hitch, with my ZoneAlarmPro 4 ON, I've turned it off.  Still nothing but a lockup that needs to rebooted.  Dunno.  It sucks not being able to shoot some of you down, and get shot down.

Masherbrum,

This is actually being discussed in the "Help and Training" area.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/defaultframe.html

Right mouse button click the aceshigh.exe and check "Changes Frequently".

Hope this helps!

Karaya,

This is what I had to do with zonealarm..

I had added and removed it so many times for the updates/patchs and such that I had some unremoved instances of AH in Zonealarm(ZA)... I have to remove the instance of AH in ZA, then shutdown ZA and restart it. AH would still be there so i had to remove it again.. I did this about 4 times and finally AH stopped showing up when I would restart ZA.. I added AH and gave permissions and such and all is well..

I dont have the option on my ZA for 'program changes frequently'...  But, I have the free version and its prolly old...

ya know , Tweety, after doing a search on your posts, I've noticed  that:
 1-You don't do any thing but complain about a game you've played less then 2 years, which means you don't have a Clue about the way HT works.
 2-you make no effort to help get the problems fixed,i.e. system posted, what was going on when problem arose, etc.
3- you have a habit of attacking HT
 So, who are you, Wild Bill ?
 and BTW, AH2 is WAY more stable then AH1 was at this stage

ZoneAlarm is a bunch of wastecode.

Tried it once, left it for what it is.

>>TweetyBird, if you can get one..try a 128M vid card.  You have the ram and front end bus for this game.<<

The way I have my sliders set and the resolution I use, I don't use half of the 64mb of vid ram I have. Frame rates aren't a problem -70ish fps.

I'm gonna take a break from the game till September. Maybe by then it will be better. As is it just agravates me induces me to post angry :D

Still debating whether to delete my account till then.

Photoshop is pretty rock solid.
DiabloII works fine in Win95,98,2000,ME, and even XP with patch 1.10
Never had a problem with 3DStudioMax or Microsof office.
Adobe premiere runs like a champ, as does CivIII.

Your point is well taken, but I don't think it applies to this situation. Its not one or two configurations having a problem, its many. Thats because the mistake is in the code and not the configuration. The way textures are handled was completely redesigned last patch according to release notes. So, I think its safe to assume the first version of the redesign has a few bugs in it. See ya in the fall :D

I know there are a few of you people running around like Niedermeyer in 'Animal House' screaming "ALL IS WELL - ALL IS WELL!"  Fact is, this IS buggy software, and yes they are doing their best to resolve the situation - I understand that.

It's crazy to flame people for complaining about it!  People are paying a subscription fee, and as customers they have a RIGHT to complain.  I am sure that the HTC crew would rather hear a number of complaints so that they can fix it rather than have a great number of people simply sneak out the back door quietly.

I am positive that my system is in top shape for the hardware and software installed.  I have had CTDs and massive stutters (freeze frames), some lasting as long as 5 seconds.  Somehow even though i have no folder customization, my cache folder keeps being reset to "Read Only" attribute, as well as a number of my .cfg files are randomly setting themselves to "Read Only".  Clearly, this IS a bug, and has been posted as such.

I am a network administrator and also write minor applications (certainly far less complex that this game) for internal use by my company, so I am aware of the processes they must go through to track down the bugs - I don't envy their position.

But get off of the backs of those who are complaining, it is percisely because of these same complaints that the game will be fixed quicker. (The squeaky wheel always gets the oil)  I do not have any of these problems playing IL2, Warbirds or WW2OL.  I am confident that they will be resolved, but anyone who is paying for the service has every right to complain.
