Ever since 1.01 I have had problems getting into the main arena. I can get into the TA and SEA any time, but during the day when i select the MA my computer freezes up for about 30 seconds and then it takes me back to the user name and password menu.
I have e-mailed AH and have done a traceroute:
Node 216.91.192.19 was found in 14 hops (TTL=243). It is a HTTP server running apache/1.3.9(unix) mod.ssl12.4.2 open ssl10.9.4)
I have a 56k modem and Sprint Canada is my ISP.
Also tried the option of joystick conflict by selecting poll with interupts but that didn't seem to change anyhting.
Any thoughts?

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this Skernsk. I believe this is related to the 'Screw Canada' filter which is installed right at the border. However, since that freezes up frequently the problem may be related to the following . . .

It is a good possibility that your local telco's bandwidth has been reduced to nothing due to those friggin "eh's" at the end of every sentence. A billion of those little blurbs a day can really bog the system down, eh?!

Thanks SOB --- but I checked and it turns out that Sprint Canada is really still owned by the imperialistic Americans! It seems that they know I'm a toejam hot AH pilot and you Americans can't handle being second best......so the bastards are trying to keep me from playing. So screw Y'all

I wish I had an answer for you. My squad leader has been having a problem with getting discoed recently several times a night. He lives in Alberta. Perhaps someone has restricted you from flying skernsk because you would unbalance the arena?

Have you tried the alternate route? Just click the item below main arena that says "Main Alt route verio." It says it is closed, but it isn't.

Wow, thought it was just me. Havent found a solution yet but Its not isp related "I dont think" because I can get on with my brothers computer during these "locked out" times, with the same isp. SEA and TA arenas let me in anytime.

Sure is annoying.

Although after reading your post again its interesting that we both use sprint Canada as isp's. Bloom, whats your squad leader using for an isp?

Makes ya wonder ---- all Canucks. Maybe that Fat drunk Bastard SOB is right.....there's a conspiracy brewing in Aces High

I've tried the alternate route and it freezes up like the regular one. Strange how I can always get into the TA and SEA....that alone should rule out the ISP shouldn't it?

Dump AH and redownload it and see if that makes a difference,eh?

skernsk · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2000, 08:37:00 PM »

Been there ---- done that.

I'd tell you what ISP he uses, if he could play AH so I could ask him.

Like I tried that eh, and it didnt work eh. When that didnt work I even formatted and reinstalled everything with all the newest vidio and sound drivers...Like, that didnt help either eh.

Sry to hear that bloom. At least I can get in often enough to justify my $$$. Yesterday for example, couldnt get in early morning, but got in on 3 seperate occations in the afternoon and evening.

BTW this has happened since I downloaded AH way back in the beginning, only it got worse after 1.01

Rebooting sometimes helps...few days ago I got in for squad night after several reboots, I was determined to get in if it took me all night! Damn near did

Same for me rosco......reboot after each freeze-up and it still sometimes doesn't work.
I'd like to get Skuzzy's opinion --- he's probably got a solution

What stick do you use rosco? I have a Logitech wingman extreme.....I was told by hitech(I called long distance

) that it sounded like there was a problem there.
I too have downloaded the latest drivers.

I use a Microsoft precision pro.

I posted this a while back, still no solution though. Guess Ill have to live with it till I can affoard another computer.

Rosco you and I have an identical problem...what did pyro tell you to do? on a side note it sure is a relief to hear the computer reading the disk after an hour of rebooting

I think we should start a support group for this!
Rosco I'm from the Edmonton area are you close to me ---- maybe its a regional thing??????

My squad CO is from Edmonton. Wolf37 is his call sign. If you see him online ask him what ISP he has.

Basicly so far, It was sudguested I update ALL of my drivers, so I did. I am near Ottawa Ontario, so I dont think its regional, unless you concider so far its just us Canadians as a regional thing

Support group, hell why dont we pester them to switch the main with the SE or TA arenas

seeing as most of my flying is in the main.

And it is definatly nice to hear that disk read after a whole bunch of reboots. I know if I am going to get in or not before I actually do
