New install on laptop

[jollyFE]

Hello all, on the road for a business trip and installed the game on my laptop.  It definitely meets all the hardware requirements, but I can't get the game to run.  I try to launch from the desktop shortcut as well as the exe in the install folder.  I have even tried run as admin but still get the same result.  Launch the icon, splash screen shows up then closes.

I made sure the game has access through my firewall and even temporarily disabled the antivirus with nothing working.

Are you running on a VPN? may have trouble connecting from Korea. Do they limit connections to the US?

VPN on and off same result.

There's a chance you have onboard video built in to the CPU and a discrete video card.

If your laptop has a discrete video card, check that Aces High is using the discrete video card in the opening menu.

I can't even get to the opening screen where I can check video options.

OK try this. I installed it on an old laptop I have and the game crashed when I clicked the AH icon to start it. Go into the file manager and browse to C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III if you have it install to the default folder. Scroll down to the "aceshigh9.exe" right click it and create a desktop icon for it and drop it on your desktop.

DOuble click the new icon. For me it loaded the game and then downloaded a huge file to "complete the installation", like 15 minutes worth and then it all worked fine.

Good Luck.
