Once I plugged in the HDMI to DVI adaptor, the NVIDIA control panel suddenly gave me a new Hi Def audio option that was not available when I used the HDMI to HDMI cable as my video cable.

Disable Hi Def audio.

I gained back FPS and no problems with GV. Seems using the HDMI connector on the card did not work very well on my PC. But a digital video only DVI feed to the HDMI jack on my TV works fine.

I built the above weather file to test in CraterMA. It is simply an overcast layer with no other clouds. After saving it in the normal way I ran the beta. The game loaded the textures etc but crashed at the point of entering the arena. This is the crash data from the log file:

Faulting application name: ahbeta.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5696a3d3
Faulting module name: ahbeta.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5696a3d3
Exception code: 0xc00000fd
Fault offset: 0x00030c37
Faulting process id: 0x17e0
Faulting application start time: 0x01d14f6d8d777bcf
Faulting application path: C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High Beta\ahbeta.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High Beta\ahbeta.exe
Report Id: de0abf60-bb60-11e5-a0cd-50e549edb851

When I set the overcast layer's start time to something other than 0 the terrain loads but then the game CTDs as soon as the overcast layer loads. I can click on the icon and re-enter the arena briefly before it CTDs again.

The terrain runs fine without the new weather file. I ran out of time before going to work before I could test the old weather file, however it never caused an issue before. This older weather file had an overcast layer as well, but it was the last layer in the file and 1K thick rather than 3K like this one. I suspect the thickness might be the issue here, I'll test more when I get home.

Took a 163 in the CTF arena, ran over captured a flag and returned it to my base. Towered out. Exited after towering out, game froze on exit with the Quit button highlighted. Title music is playing. Ctrl, Alt+Delete to get game to quit.

Did clean install from 91 to Beta...

In 91 had 30+ fps....in beta have 9-15...

Messed with settings for a long time...here is dxdiag...I don't know what else to do

Only problem I found was CTF arena...upped spit flew and crashed tried to press quit...it hung on exit...had to do a hard restart of machine

@ puller: It's your video card. Radeon HD 6450 with 1 GB video RAM is on the low side of the HD 6000 series which means it's perfect for multimedia but not that good for serious gaming. You probably already know that AH3 will be more GPU dependent than AH2, which also shows in the Alpha and Beta. There may be several reasons for your frame rate drop, like different settings (especially the Environment Map slider is a resource hog) and a different place on the map (some areas are tougher for the GPU than others).

Thanks fellas...

That's a drag though...I just bought this video card a few months ago (memory fades but I thought I got it in the spring)
That's what I get for being a cheapazz....but it was a lot better than my x1300 256mb  :rofl

More important, it's capable of running the alpha/beta.
