problems with download (new player)
« on: May 29, 2010, 12:20:56 PM »
Just moved across from FA. I have an issue that whenever I bring up the clipboard the page "behind" the main page rotates endlessly. I clicked on the mission tab online tonight and the page it bought up was rotating anti clockwise constantly and nothing would make it stop. I have uninstalled the game twice and it is still "buggy". I am getting frozen screen occasionally as well and need to restart the computer to fix it. Maybe the bug is at my end?

Thanks in advance

Check and see if your rudders and stick are swapped in the "mapping controlers" in the clipboaed.

See if this fixes it.

At the main menu of Aces High, go to Video Settings and make sure Disable Vsync box is unchecked.

Right click on the shortcut icon and set it to run in Win 98 Compatibility mode.  Some of the older AMD dual-core (and a very few older Intel dual-core) processors had issues for whatever reason.  By running it in compatibility mode, it forces the processor to use only one core which is a 'stop-gap' for this issue.

If this does correct it, check to see if there are drivers or updates available to correct this issue so that you can once again enable both cores.

What Tigger said.

There is a bug in the AMD multi-core CPU's which we happen to hit (has to do with multi-threading and the use of high resolution timers).  AMD provided a work-around, but it seems it does not correct the problem with all versions/models of their CPU.

Switching to run in "Windows 98/Windows ME" compatibility mode forces the operating system to use only one core.  This prevents the game from hitting the bug in the CPU.
