Recently, as of the latest patch, sometimes when in a fight with many cons, the screen will occasionally hang for half a second or so, causing all sorts of challenges when flying (and I'm sure causing me to warp to my opponents too).
It appears as if the Video driver is crashing due to the way Aces High is interacting with it. Its unclear if this is driver bug or a HTC bug but users have reported it happening with both ATI and Nvidia cards. To find more information on the various use-cases and system setups that users have experienced it, please look at this thread...
