Ace Patrol on Steam Update is live (Fix for crash on start-up)

With the most recent update, Steam has fixed the issue that caused players to crash if they didn't turn of “Steam In-Game Community”. You can now turn on the feature after receiving the update.

Let us know if you're still running into any issues.

Ich kann nicht speichern. Immer noch nicht. Nach 3 Wochen IMMER NOCH NICHT.
Ich bin wütend und enttäuscht.

I can't save until now. After 3 weeks this puny bug isn't resolved. I am angry and dissapointed.

So you couldn't save before and after the patch? I'd ask you to contact support so they can look into it with more detail. http://support.2k.com/anonymous_requests/new

No longer have the crash-to-desktop after getting an achievement with Steam community enabled. Thanks for the support.

Still having issues in that I see nothing but a blue playfield with shadows of planes.

Seriously, why are they so many issues with this game?

Can anyone tell me how to get this patch or what to do? I see no options in game or here on how it upgrades for the fix. When I launch the game I see no option for updating either. Thanks for letting me know.

Steam automatically updates all your games. You don't need to do anything.

I am crashing as soon as the game begins and the advice given various places in the discussions doesn't solve the problem. From another poster it appears it may be an issue for laptops with Windows 7 still. I get different error messages depending on whether I try to start from my desktop or from within Steam. I'm glad the game was on sale cheap when I got it last weekend, but it's too bad I can't play it since other people seem to like it a lot. :/

Same here, music, black screen, then will suddenly start with several rows of aircraft, I picked a few by random, then shows map but no menu, or options I have no idea how to play this game.
Same stats, Win 7, Intel HD Graphics, Intel Pentium B940 2 Ghz Processor w/2 MB L3 Cache, tried the workaround and got the above.

So no buttons, no options and no intro screen just music. Then blue background that stays blank until I click on it, then rows of planes but no menu or options etc...

I also tried the workaround, same thing, didn't work.

Just bought AP and had this same problem! Here's what I found and how I fixed it...

Steam installed the game to run with Intergrated Graphics, but my laptop has an nVidia graphics card, which the game did not recognize. I had to open up the nVidia Control Panel, add Sid Meier's Ace Patrol to the game list (under "Manage 3D Graphics") and then set Ace Patrol to run using the "High-performance nVidia processor". I left the game settings on default/Global. Now that it recognizes my nVidia video card, Ace Patrol runs without the blue playfield and shadow planes.

Hope this helps!

Excellent. Fixed.

2K support hopeless for both this and the iOS version
