Since the new patch came out, I have been getting very frequent crashes. It happens when I get a lot of stuttering at a certain moment in time. Not sure what might be causing the crashes, but here is my system specs:
1. AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ (2.7 GHz)
2. 4 GB of RAM
3. Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
4. 98/ME compatability mode enabled in Aces High
5. Nvidia GeForce 9600 GSO (768 MB of video)
6. Graphics maxed out with high-resolution except for self shadows
And DXDIAG:


It appears the crashes happen during times of stutters.. One instance, I was flying my P38 today flying over an enemy base. I rolled my plane around several times to look underneath me, as I was doing that, I started getting a lot of stutters. Then Aces High crashed to a black screen. Yesterday, I was trying to shoot down an enemy 109 at 400 yards out. Then I got a lot stutter then the game crashed to a black screen. I also report a few other crashes when nothing was happening. I would simply be flying over a friendly base, no furballing or action of any kind, and the game would just stutter and crash.
