Author Topic: Setup Problem.. (Read 329 times)

Hello,

I use to play Aces High a few months back and uninstalled it due to the lack of time I had playing it.

Today I wanted to give it another go now I have spare time, downloaded the software, installed it and when I started it up it showed a plain white screen, and video setup popped up.

When I did the settings and pressed continue it crashed and sent me to the desktop.

NOW, I know people wll say its the video card I have, but it isn't because I have played Aces High before on this very same computer.

I have installed direct X as stated on the website, tried to delete the video file (wasn't there at all in any HTC/Aces High II folder) and basically stuck for answers.

I really do want to get back online and fighting again shortly.

This is now Aces High 2 with higher minimum requirements than AH1 had a few months back. Post your specs and it very well could be the video card or at least a related driver issue.
System specs ???

You will need to update the video card for that Intel chip. As the Intel chip is a very low end video display device, you should set the game video settings to something very conservative. (800x600, 128 Maximum texture size).

StarOfAfrica2 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 09, 2005, 11:11:26 AM »

Is it even going to work? It says he only has 4MB of video RAM and 128MB of system RAM.

Skuzzy · « **Reply #6 on:** January 09, 2005, 11:37:15 AM »

Oops. You are right Star. I did not catch that. It probably will not work.

windows XP

i see 126 mbs of system ram while running xp , with 4 mbs of that system ram allocated to the 82810 onboard grafics .

it looks like a early pent 3 (note these things ran really hot {57c or higher})

you might get this thing to work if you added alot more Ram , along with a better video card ... but you would need to check out the mainboard specs first .

The mrs Roo had a pent 2 with a 82810 onboard and 512 in ram with 64mbs allocated and it counldnt play ah1 much past ver 1.06 or so .
