Aces High Game News


You may now change your game ID from within the game! In order to do so, you must be online and connected to any of our online arenas to proceed. You may also check to see if a game ID is available by using the radio dot command ".test id gameid", where "gameid" is the ID you wish to check for availability.

1) From the tower, bring up the clip board and select the "O'Club" option.

2) Then select the "Change Game ID" option. Type in the game ID you want to change to. If the game ID is available, a warning box will pop up notifying you of the ramifications of changing your game ID.

3) If the game is already taken, a warning box indicating as such, will pop up.

Please note, the following conditions.

If you are muted or have lost your chat/voice priveleges, then you will not be able to change your game ID.

You can only change your game ID once every thirty days.

Aces High Bits and Pieces


When we announced the ability to allow you to change your game ID, we inadvertently left out the notification about cleaning up the game ID database and releasing all ID's which were in non-active accounts.

As many of you may be aware, Hurricane Ike is bearing down on Texas. It is quite possible for this storm to have an impact on HiTech Creations . There is the possibility of extended power outages, causing problems, as well as general communications being affected. Down times are not out of the question. We will do what we can to minimize this, but it may not be within our power to avoid these issues.

Aces High: Version 2.13 Released


The 2.13 release of Aces High is ready.
Check the information page for more details concerning this release and, optionally, information needed to manually update the game.

As a reminder, if you are running a software firewall, and cannot connect after the patch is installed, you need to re-allow the game back through your firewall.

If you are running Windows Vista, you may need to manually download and install the update or run the game as an administrator for the game auto-updater to work properly.

The high resolution texture package has also been updated. If you are using it, then you must update your texture package as well.

Aces High: Login Manager and Game News


This morning we will be transferring the login/game manager to a temporary server while we upgrade the existing server. We expect this to take approximately 15 minutes, providing all goes according to plan.
During the transfer period you will not be able to login into the game nor see any open arenas. We appreciate your patience and will do everything we can to insure this downtime is minimized.
