New patch login error and lockup
« on: October 30, 2019, 05:24:43 PM »
Since I already have my password saved, I didn't tick the save password checkbox.
The login cleared my password line and added the number 2 to the 3rd line in the login.cfg file.

Then the prceedure entered an endless loop.

Easy in-game again.

In case this happens to anyone else, find the login.cfg file inside the settings folder and open it with notepad. The lines are thus:

1st line: User name, usually not your game ID
2nd line: Password
3rd line: I suppose this line is for a flag set by the new proceedure

If you enter the endless loop, you'll need to edit the cfg file with your login data on line 1 and 2.

Oh, and I like breaking things :)

I clicked save password and everything went like normal. I have not seen that screen in a very long time so assumed it might have been on purpose for something back end Hitech is doing at this time.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Apparently this happens move often than I thought.

Your settings folder's default path:  C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\settings

Um, I can’t even get to the sign on screen because I auto saved my passwords.  Please fix this hitech. It’s stuck in a loop and I’d rather you guys fixed this than me dejecting and re downloading.
