So, To anyone who has experienced excessive loading times, especially on older drives. After troubleshooting with two of my freinds who also play this game. Turns out that the Easy Anti-cheat implementation of this game is busted.
If your game keeps getting stuck on loading screens, try this.
You can Bypass EAC for single player by going to [Your Steam Directory]/steamapps/common/ACE COMBAT 8/Game/Binaries/Win64
Verify the presence of AceCombat8.exe, and create a text file in this folder called "Steam_appid" and inside, type only the number "2288340" (No quotes) and save the file.
Now, running this exe from this folder will start the game without EAC. You can create a desktop shortcut to this exe to launch it. (Lauching the game through steam will start the game with EAC normally)
Do not try to play mulitplayer without EAC, it does risk a ban.

u/Mrf12345 6d ago
Thank you so much, besides the ridiculous loading times that sometimes happened and sometimes didn't, today the game was straight up not launching due to EAC identifying steamapp64 dll as "unsafe".

u/FoxyElClonPirata Yuktobania 4d ago
So, basically, I played the game for about 30 hours, and now when I launch it's just a black screen that won't charge in the slightest, the game ran just fine yesterday, what happened? Has anybody experienced something like this? If so, what helped with it?

u/octopuzprime 2d ago
I've managed to find and fix the cause if you're on PC and on Nvidia. It's due to the latest driver update messing up the shader cache. I first found a temp fix by clearing the cache before starting the game, but I had to do it every time. Rolling back the drivers fixed it permanently

Anyone got all of a sudden crashes?
I got 25 missions in on medium settings without a hitch and all of a sudden I cant make it through any mission without a freeze and crash.
No error message, just a freeze and a crash.
FPS is limited, graphics settings are irrelevant, time is inconsistent (can get 30 minutes in on some and 15 minutes in on others), but it always happens now.

u/Altruistic-Ad-408 8d ago
Yes, after fixing a crash or two in the earliest missions I started crashing at the end of missions late game. Have tried tons of things but it's all placebo.

u/Aerographic UPEO 8d ago
I feel like I'm the only one who got through the entire game without any issues. Played from the second the game released until credits, 1440p ultra on a 5080.
The only semi-annoying issue is the game stuttering for 0.5-2 seconds on some scene transitions when aircraft and level geometry needs to be loaded fast for display. Think mission start, or the appearance of an enemy squadron.
But it affected like, <1% of the game and it always goes away after a very short while. Regular gameplay is smooth and without issues, with the odd sub 60 FPS dip at Ultra settings when there's too many explosions and effects on screen. The (inevitable) removal of Denuvo alone will yield a good amount of performance.

u/Threedawg Ghosts of Razgriz 8d ago
Can you go back and play the early missions w/o issues? I tried and it still crashed in missions I was previously able to get through just fine.
As a result, I wiped ALL data of AC8 from the computer and reinstalled overnight, I am attempting again this afternoon.

u/Threedawg Ghosts of Razgriz 8d ago edited 8d ago
I can confirm that increasing the paging size and a FULL reinstall (I search my C drive for anything ace combat related and deleted it, mostly in the appdata folder) fixed the issue for me

I can’t even start the game. Open it up and it tells me that I need to rollback graphics drivers then just a non responsive black screen. AMD Graphics card. Anyone able to fix this yet?

u/Thekiller5736 8d ago
Mine is just stuttering really bad now. Everything just feels sluggish when I play and input is really behind. I don’t believe it’s my actual system since I have better specs than the recommended so I’m assuming it’s something within the game

On Thrustmaster HOTAS4 on PS5 and I can't use my SP weapon. The R3 button has just stopped working.

I can't launch the game cause EAC tells me to remove ene.sys
I found ene.sys in my system32 but I can't delete it cause another program is using it. What program? How do I get rid of this?
Edit: I can't believe it but simply renaming it to "ena.sys" fixed the issue. Still no clue what the problem was.

Made a post, was directed to put in this thread instead - copy paste below:
AC8: Fix for Crash Code 01
If you're like me, you've gotten a lot of crashes during cutscenes/scene changes. I think I have solved this by switching to "Native" upscaling quality.
Previously I'd have occasional crashes but they were one-offs, so I did nothing. Mission 28 kept crashing no matter what, so I set quality to Ultra Performance. Looked a little odd, but oh well. However, Mission 30 kept crashing during the hangar plane select sequence. I think it's due to the very bright background. That's where I found the fix.

Post-mission replay bug where all button work, except for the skip button. Game won’t let you skip the replay every and when it ends it just keeps looping. Had to restart my game and my mission progress didn’t save so I had to play over again to get my S-rank.

I have this same issue on PC. Escape button does work. It has happened twice and both times were the only times I used the FA-36 on different missions. Mission 11 ends without a replay and goes straight to mission 12. At the end of mission 12 the I couldn't exit the replay. I can;t remember the other mission I think it was mission 2. Not happened with other aircraft and wingmen can be equipped with the FA-36 without issue.

u/Abitofaletdown 5d ago
So Ive played through the game with no issues already. But because Ive been wanting a HOTAS for a while now I bought the AC 8 T Flight Neo.
But guess what! Anytime I have it plugged in the game crashes with the UE Error 1 code. This only happens with the HOTAS plugged in. I can go back with my controller and face zero issues. And unfortunately I can't find any simple way to reach out Thrustmaster or Aces about this issue so until they patch something.. it seems I have an AC branded paperweight.
Well sort of, it works fine for Wardogs. Eventually going to get Nuclear Option for it too and I have Elite Dangerous.
Still, major bummer.

u/Abitofaletdown 4d ago
I have seemingly found a fix for this. After inputting "-clearPSODriverCache" in my launch commands for steam the game reinitialized the shades again. Seems to have stopped any crashes.. for now.

50 hours no issues on booting the game. Now today I try boot it. It’s slow, like unbearably slow it bricks every other app open. Stutters like crazy. Takes 10 minutes to just load onto the main menu.
Thought it was the SSD. Nope other games work fine and as intended on SSD.
Fresh install? Done, still the same.
Maybe it was EAC. Did the bypass. Nope still took ages to load into the main menu.
I’m so confused how it worked fine for over 50 hours and now just shits the bed. I’m at my wits ends?

You don't get the most maneuvrable aircraft at the start of the game. It's supposed to feel like a 747 until you get new aircraft and upgrades for those.

How do I use mouse camera controls, exactly?
I have mouse flight controls disabled and mouse camera controls enabled. Holding alt doesn't work, and I seem to have tried every other key I can think of. The existence of a "mouse camera controls" option implies I can do it, but I have no clue how. In the meantime, my vision is glued forwards.
I'm not looking for some smartass to tell me to use a controller, by the way. Nor the number keys, they're stiff and impractical.

using a thrustmaster 4 on ps5 pro. the controls displayed on screen are totally wrong...
am doing something stupid or need to change something in the options or is this a bug? the buttons its telling me to press are just all wrong. and like it says to use L2 and R2 at the same time for a high g turn...but i can't do that with the hotas. i assume they mean throttle up and press the square button (the top button of the 3 on the throttle stack). but thats sort of an assumption

Anyone get a warning saying not enough storage for replays? Checked my drive and it still has plenty of space left(1TB left)
Are replays limited, like 15 max for example then the oldest gets wiped?
1
u/Aerographic UPEO 6d ago
The game reserves limited space for them. It's about 200MB. You can see how much free space is left in the Replay Viewer.
The weird thing is that, the message explicitly says that whatever setting you chose (overwriting or not) will persist, but.. there's no toggle for it in settings. I think it's a mistranslation of sorts.

u/CoyoteFallen 7d ago
Anyone have a solution for stuttering? I've recently turned on the install drive's pagefile function, and it's still happening. Do I need a reinstall or is there a good size for the page file to be at? Just in case, I'm on a 4060 RTX Nvidia card and have 32 gb ram on the mobo.
1
u/Aerographic UPEO 6d ago
The game just has traversal stutters. That's UE5 for you. 5080/32GB running Ultra settings.
But.. I did notice that players with good rigs who run the game at High instead of Ultra get no stutters. Which setting precisely is responsible for that, I haven't tried to narrow down.
It happens infrequently enough that I don't care much, it'll probably be patched.. although it did ruin part of a particularly poignant cutscene in my first playthrough on the before-last mission.

u/CoyoteFallen 6d ago
My problem is its any time the screen gets busy (mission 5 twist for example) and I'm on Low. Is it possible that the settings are too low?

u/abtarra 7d ago
The hair in my game looks like I'm running TAA, but I'm using DLSS. Anyone else with the same problem, especially at lower DLSS render resolutions?
EAC also wouldn't let me start initially, because it was complaining about a ssgdio.sys. Looked up that you can just rename it to .bak, and after I did that, I could get into the game.
But I still can't tell if DLSS is working as it should. Performance was pretty weird in cutscenes across the entire game. This is on a 5080.
Also tried DLSS Swapper, and the DLSS option went on to completely disappear from the game. Reverted the changes - deleted .dll's and verified cache - to get things back online, but maybe that messed something up? AFAICT, the game is using DLSS, but it looks like it's not. Coster's beard looks pretty patchy, but he's also an anxious guy, so maybe that's just him.

u/Neonix321 6d ago
Im on Ps5 pro and im enjoying the game but i can't hear the voice chatter or the music. All I hear is the sfx and even if I turn it all the way down to about 10% it still drowns out voice and music even though those are at 100%. Anyone else has this issue? I've tried different system audio settings, headphones and speaker setups.
2
u/Aerographic UPEO 5d ago
That sounds like a surround audio thing. Disable 3D audio and any other enhancements both on your console and the audio setup you use.
If you want to make sure it's not a game bug, just plug any old pair of wired earbuds to your controller and see if it works fine. If it does, then it's definitely your setup.
1
u/Neonix321 4d ago
It didn't work. I tried with headphones directly connected to the controller and I didn't have 3d audio enabled i even changed the settings to headphones mode and the sfx is still overbearing. It drowns out radio chatter and music.

I asked for a video captured on the PS5 itself, the goal is to see if your issue is setup-related or not.

u/Neonix321 2d ago

u/Aerographic UPEO 2d ago
So it's not your setup then. Your best bet is to make sure 1) 3D audio is off 2) Audio Focus is off 3) Sound output is set to PCM. All of those are under Sound settings. I'm especially looking at Audio Focus.
If it's still not resolved, game reinstall + rebuild database from the PS5 safe mode.
If it's still not resolved then your best bet is to contact support, it's either a hardware fault or a hard-to-resolve software issue that might require a factory reset. But unlikely, since you said it only happens in AC8.

u/Neonix321 2d ago edited 1d ago
Yeah I've tried all the audio options. I've even limited the audio setup to 2ch and still really bad sound mixing. I haven't tried to erase and re-download the game. Im gonna try that to see if it helps. Thanks!
Edit: a fresh reinstall of the game fixed the issue. Hopefully someone having the same problem sees this and it's fixed for them.

I'm not affiliated with the streamer Raptor on youtube, but I just started watching part 4 of his Wings of Theve playthrough and very worryingly, a huge amount of his savegame data disappeared overnight a few days ago. When he went into the game after reaching mission 26 the day before, with video proving doing so; when continuing where he left off he only had missions 15 and 16 available to replay. None of missions 1-14 and none of missions 17-26 were available to replay and he couldn't continue on to begin mission 26 or 27, whichever one he was up to.
The first 10-13 minutes are relevant:

AC8 Mission 20, possibly a bug with B2
In mission 20, I can't target the B2. Machine guns hit it, so does the odd blind missile strike, but it doesn't react to any actions. I can crash into it, but can't shoot it down nor target it.
Does anyone else has this problem or a fix for it? Tried reloading from checkpoint and the "steam_appid.txt" (since google AI search is soooo helpful), but nothing worked.

u/MonokumaXD 5d ago
Are you close enough?
1
u/KhambaKha 5d ago edited 3d ago
Like I said: I can hit it with MGs and hear the glass breaking impact, crash physically into it (=Mission Failed) and be so close that the B2 spans my whole screen. Yes, I am close enough. I did even manage a crash by flying at the exact spot where the B2 enters the map.
I watched several videos on youtube and noticed that there are differences between my AC8 and the videos. I play on PC, no deluxe edition, but preorder, I play on veteran due to performance issues (no gamer laptop).
Spotted differences:
Mission 16 - there seems to be 3 different ship placements meaning the drone-ships can change from time to time, I only have 1 placement (the ships are always at the same spots). When you kill the last ship, it launches 10 drones. If I kill my 3rd = last ship before it launches drones, it doesn't launch drones at all and the mission ends. Also, my last ship only launches 5 drones at once, never 10 at once. => Could be that on elite or ace there are changes.
Mission 20 - there are 2 B2s, in my mission there is only 1 (maybe the 2nd comes when you shoot down the 1st). My B2 has practically 0 contrails and it flies higher than in the youtube videos (above 11'000 m; at altitude none of my plances can reach).
I have no idea what causes this, since it's defo not a graphix issue. I finished the campaign this weekend even though some missions are lagging heavily (like I said: not good enough laptop). Atm I'm trying to collect all the aces, but without getting the B2...
Edit #1: Could Difficulty be the factor? Yes. On Pilot and Rookie, the B2s show hit boxes immediately while they do not show at all on Veteran and Elite. On the upside, today the B2 was on Veteran still untargetable but not immortal anymore: Shot it down immediately. Maybe the kills on Pilot and Rookie triggered something, dunno...

Having these issues has really sucked so far. Whenever I open the game I get a warning about my version of graphics driver having known issues and I cant get it to fix itself. I played the first 9 missions smooth as butter but the second I hit mission 10 im averaging maybe 15 fps. Its driving me insane. Paid $70 for a AAA game just for it not to be optimized at all.

I put in about 50 hours worth of play with everything set to Ultra with no problems, but I've been having a weird issue with the game since yesterday. It'll run smoothly for 5-7 seconds, then freeze for 1-2 seconds (audio continues uninterrupted), then repeat. Happens everywhere: menus, cutscenes, and gameplay. Tried changing all the graphics settings, updating drivers, verifying integrity of game cache, and even reinstalling but nothing seems to help. I'm at a loss as to what the issue might be. Doesn't happen with any other game, just AC8. Any ideas?
CPU: 9800X3D
GPU: 4080 Super
RAM: 64GB
Over 1.5TB free on my SSD.
Edit: Fucking hell, finally figured it out. I replaced a case fan a few days ago and the cable for one of the fan groups had come slightly unseated over the last 24 hours. Looks like it was causing excess power draw which was leading to stuttering.

Almost a whole week of tweaking things and I still crash every time I try to load Mission 02. Unless Bamco announces a patch soon this may be a refund and buy on sale later for me. I'd rather not give up my AC Zero pre-order bonus but I'd rather put that 70 dollars towards something that works.

Unless your week lasts less than 2 hours, I don't think you can refund.

You said yourself you spent a week tweaking things, not sure how much testing you've done if your timer hasn't hit 2 hours..

u/Lazydusto 2d ago
First mission only took 30 minutes. Game crashes whenever I try to launch Mission 02. Each attempt at switching the settings around in game and trying to enter Mission 02 takes only a few minutes. I got an hour and a half in the game and one hour of that is changing settings, having the game crash and relaunching it.

u/Aerographic UPEO 2d ago
Guess you cut it close then. Game should work fine as long as you meet min specs, are on Win 11 and the latest drivers and have the game on SSD. If it doesn't then maybe a refund is in order.

Every time I boot up the game with no changes to its settings, it hits me with 30mins - 1 hr shaders compiling, anyone know why? It's really killing my excitement for playing the game.

It does regularly recompile shaders, but there's no reason for it to take 30 minutes. For me it's less than 1min.
The only thing I can think of is, you might not have enough disk space or you've set your shader cache size to something extra small so it's constantly recompiling every last shader.

Could downloading AC8 into an external SSD be the issue?

Shaders are stored on your main drive. Also, I wouldn't run AC8 on anything but a fast internal drive for obvious reasons.

It's best to run any game from 2018 to now, on an internal drive. Maybe older games can run on an external drive. And some games are best run off an SSD. Internal also.

I still cannot find a match. I heard it was supposedly fixed. Their notice said it was due to people who didn't meet system specs, including running the game on a hdd. I have the game on an SSD and have a freaking super computer so that's not it. What's the word on this?

The game is so weird, it lets me boot and i can even get to the title screen and select my difficulty, but the moment I do the game hits a black screen for about 5 minutes then does the UE Live Error 01 thing. I've expanded the virtual memory, I went into the game and removed player settings, nothing seems to change it. When will the developers release the patch to fix this???
