DONE with AH
« on: July 25, 2002, 09:48:25 PM »
I am a newbie at AH, about 10 months now and have seen many good changes here, but when 1.10 came out the game in my mind it went down hill. 1.09 had its crash locks and I could handle that, but this new (I call it) IN FLIGHT LOCK UP is the pits. I have tried many things to check my puter and I can find nothing wrong. When these lock ups started it was now and then, but now I cant even play for more than 10 minutes and it dont matter what I am in,,,plane, gv, boat what ever. I know this game is not an easy thing to put together and my hats off to HT, but dont put out a product until it is ready. I know HT wont care that one person will leave his game but I just cant see spending my money for something that does not work. Maybe if after the bugs are worked out I may be back and I will miss many friend that I have made here. Like i said, no one may care but I had to put in my 2 cents worth..

Its not your computer.  Many people are having this problem.  I'm personally hoping a fix is on the way.  If you've been around for 10 months then you should know that most likely there is a fix coming.

What DirectX are u running? 8.0a, b or 8.1b

Run DXdiag.exe, first screen at botton will tell you what version you have. I had many freezes then went to DirectX8.1 and it solved the problem completely.

Edit: Ok i re-read his post.  Sounded like a useless whine.
Edit2: Great counter-picture Soviet :D


Afterthought:  Check your IRQ assignments.  Make sure you're not sharing the same one with your vid/sound card.  I've also had these lockup problems as well.  They seem random at times, but sometimes I get lockups in large formations of bombers, and just tonite I got it and had to hard reboot when someone had shot off my tail and I hit the water.

A little premature I might say....there is a fix for this OTW dont you know.  

If yer 10 mos are worth wasting then have a good day but I would recommend  waiting a TAD WEE LITTLE BIT before pulling the buttplug out for keeps.

Thank you very much have a nice day :)

How do I know theres a fix?  I dont -but there had better be!

I'm having in flight lock ups too, after over 2 years of completely trouble free play in terms of ctd/lockups.

I've reinstalled AH, and reformatted once, and still have the problem.  It mainly occurs when I'm viewing my kill in rear view I've noticed.

So don't despair, it isn't just you mate, stick around, they've always fixed everything else, so I'm sure this problem has its days numbered.

I am glad to inform you that I have 100% trouble free gameplay in AH, and always has.

Currently I own 3 different computers that I can play AH on and everyone of those works just fine.

My bet is that you have some issues withyour drivers.

I have the same problems since 1.10 came out, it has cost me 2x262s, dont think falling bombers have anything to do with drivers or anything on my system. Shoot up a formation pull away, screen freeze, only good thing is it hasnt given out a freebie to the nearest niki, just got to reboot. Has also happened in 109 and 110. A fix is definately coming, they wouldn't let this mess continue

Many people complain of lockups, and I certainly had that problem too. I've been experiencing screen lock-us like 2~3 times in 10 minutes when it was the worst.

 I heard somebody suggest uninstall and reinstall AH, and this, cured my lockups completely. I went to the control panel, uninstalled Aces High, got rid of the whole program folder(except the sounds, sights, maps folder), cleaned the registry out, got the whole 32MB AH1102.EXE and installed it again.

 I haven't heard of lockups ever since....

...there is? I haven't seen any acknowledgement from HTC that there's even probem.


HawkerI,

If you're still around, a few things I've heard people try with some success...

1) If you're usng Mitsu's sounds, completely remove them and return to the defaults.

2) Completely remove and re-install the game.

3) (this one's new to me, as of senna's post) Upgrade to Dx 8.1b.

And of course it never hurts to have all device drivers up to date.
