A new patch of Aces High is now available for download.  You can update via the in-game autoupdater.  This small patch just contains a few minor fixes.

Read the 2.27 Patch 4 Information Page for more for details on manually updating and changes in the new version. 

 

Update 4/2/12 -  We updated to Patch 5 today to fix a couple issues with the film viewer and Track IR that we didn't want to leave open until the next version.

 

Update 4/9/12 -  We released another small patch to make a further adjustment for Track IR users.  We don't anticipate any further patches for this version.

A new version of Aces High is now available for download.  You can update via the in-game autoupdater.  This version features a number of graphical enhancements, adds the Fi 156 Storch and manned 88mm flak.  Read the 2.27 Patch 2 information page for more for details on manually updating and changes in the new version. 

 

Note that this is a much larger than usual patch download (175 MB) due to all the additional bump map textures and other graphics changes.  A new hi-res texture pack is also required if you are running at a max texture size of 1024 or greater.  You can manually download this file or you can use the new auto-downloader to have it download in the background while you are playing.  The auto-downloader does download at a slower rate so as not to interfere with gameplay.

 

UPDATE 1/26 - We incremented the release to Patch 1 to fix some issues that cropped up in the new release.  We are still at work on a stability problem that some users have reported.

 

UPDATE 1/31 - Updated to Patch 2 to fix the stability problem and some other minor fixes.
