Beta 17 Released: Issues/Bug Reports

Had the same error on the AvA missing a res file.

CTDs x2

I've had the same issue with the AvA arena. Because of the reference to a terrain issue, I used a player arena to check many of the terrains to see if I could find a terrain that would crash the player arena. Although no terrain I checked caused the issue, I found another anomaly.



Offline, I can't CTD by flying OFF-MAP, however, online using any of the 512 terrains I checked, if I fly off-map, I CTD immediately.

Terrain detail slider does not affect frame rates. FPS is a moderately steady 55-60 changing as I am within tree groups mostly.
The game did go to a black screen for nearly a full minute when I first started it, and then the game minimized as I was traveling through trees near our own factory.
The text buffer completely disappears from screen when I use the tilde key to expand it. This was working as expected in the last version.
I use a Yamaha MG10XU audio interface/mixer (USB) for mic input and when I turn it on with the game running the game will freeze for several LONG seconds before resuming.
When exiting the game the clipboard will remain blank for more than a minute before allowing a normal close of the program.

I have found that at the gun base(88's) with everything set to a minimum value except for ground clutter
I well get a frame rate of 8, with ground clutter disabled I get frame rate of 57
doing the same test at a Vbase, frame rate from 27 with clutter to 58=60 without.
ground  clutter is a big hitter when in the tower.

all looking good with everything turned off, in the GV game ground clutter makes it even more enjoyable.

Hmmm, its looks like the 512, 256, 128, and 64 size maps all use the same size height.raw file (4096x4096) and it is just that the CBM only shows the clipped size of the 4096x4096 area. So flying off the map at 256, 128, and 64 is not actually flying off of the 4096x4096 area defined by the height.raw well on 512 x 512 it is. Definitely irritating that this happens now but I guess I could out a ring wall of 32,000 ft elevation around the map on its border to prevent people from flying off the 409x4096 area on the 512 maps until HTC addresses this issue.

I just crashed trying to enter AvA, but I got a terrain download error, and the crash happened after I clicked "OK" on the error message.

Terrain Download Error

The terrain detail slider didn't seem to affect my FR at all.  I did notice flying through mountains though, at low terrain detail I was getting levitating trees where the distant terrain actually was.

Yep, that's the one I got and same crash.

Clean patch and no problems with update or entering arenas.  Disabling Avira security for just the download and just the install does the trick.

Graphics slider changed from 72 (None) to 47(all) while sitting on the runway internal view in a Spit IX.  In flight at 10,000 ft. I saw a mostly constant 139 at all settings.

Flew a Mosquito bomber (formations on) to bomb an enemy town.  Downtime checker matched the results from the text buffer.

Rolled a jeep, it never stopped rolling. Had to shut down computer to get out.

Some would call that a feature rather than a bug........

Moving terrain slider from one extreme to another did not seem to change fps much.

Okay I just went and load up the Special Events 512 terrains in the AH3 Beta Special Events arena with no CTDs.

• aleutian
• blksea
• blkseaw
• bob40
• germany
• germanyw
• italy
• marianas
• midway
• solomons

Basically switched terrains in the arena (which booted me out of the game like it should), then restarted AHBETA, re-entered the arena. Both the download of the terrain and actually spawning and taking off from an airfield worked fine with no error message (e.g. Problem occurred while retrieving ah3terr/0x00029000.res") or CTD.

All of these terrains have no custom objects, no embedded skins, and no custom terrain textures. They are what we call Phase I terrains that just use the terrain set and the objects that come with the editor.
