There's several hundred missions in this game, some with multiple objectives which can be done in any order. So, not every mission and permutation has been tested. If 'light up last objective' doesn't happen for you in a particular mission, bug it so it can be fixed.

Quote:Both excellent!Over a year ago, I concocted a symphonic tribute to CoH called 'Summon the Heroes' and slapped it on Youtube. I had entered it in the Creative Genius competition back when we still had the EU forums. It won me 2 months of game time, which I was mightily pleased about.
These past few days I've been working on another one. This time I was inspired paradoxically by the rather uninspiring CoH Theme/Login music. I felt it lacked punch and any sense of epicness. I figured I could give it some bombast and grandeur.
So I present 'Rise of the Heroes' - http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9122597
My first CoH piece 'Summon the Heroes' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrO-tHQONd8
So, when will the other movements be done?

Quote:The difference is that in order to do branching in the past, the content writers had to ask the coders to bake it into the coding each time it happened.World Wide Red, from Crimson, was the only one in the beginning. You either succeeded or you didn't completely succeed. This game has come a loooong way.

Now, the coders have created the tools where the content writers can created branching without having to get the programmers involved. Then can now branch many things depending a many variables (your PC's gender, their AT, what badges they have, previous choices made in a mission, etc...). -
You can check for overheating with Speedfan - click on: Speedfan 4.37
You may also want to go to your computer's manufacturer's website, or the motherboard's manufacturer's website to see if there are updated drivers for the MB chipset/CPU.
You may want to rule out software conflict by following the directions in this knowledge base reply to turn off all background programs and processes...

See my sig for the Guide to Guides on the forums. There are a lot of good beginner guides and guides for doing certain tasks (like getting badges).

Quote:Reboot.More specifically, why do their Shadow Fall animations display the Leather Straps texture in their animation as seen here:

I haven't messed with any of the in-game files, so I'm not sure why this shows up differently for me than for my friends (I asked them if they had this problem). It's not game breaking, but it looks ugly. Any ideas?
If it happens again, report it as a bug. Otherwise, it's a one time mix-up of textures. -
Quote:If that excited you.So I'm in Sharkhead Isle doing these mish'es for Dean MacArthur. I end up doing the "Steal the Jewels and bring out Ajax" mish. Well, as I was in the mish, I saw my other double. They ran out of the mish as I was chasing them..lol. Now I am doing a mish called "Track Down Your Clone".
I can guess this is one of the new story arcs that was added for i17. I have to say seeing my Doppelganer was kind of spooky. So, for those of you who have done this mish, will I eventually have to fight my double? If so, that's going to be weird stuff...but hopefully lots of fun..
There's a whole army of excitement coming your way.
It *is* really good. -

Looks fine to me. How about now:

Quote:Or... it seems that it is more GPU related especially with users with Intel graphics who try to play the game when the Intel GPU is below minimum specs, never meant for 3D gaming, includes horrendous bugs, not maintained with current drivers by Intel, further hampered by 3rd party laptop manufactures who force users to use their own version of those poorly maintain drivers and don't bother to update their own proprietary versions themselves. This is the situation of a good chunk of those who've come to the boards looking for help. The rest mostly needed to update their drivers. And then there's a small percentage with perniciously difficult-to-track-down problems.I'm starting to get the feeling that I17 has CPU utilization issues related to the new UM code. Even for folks who may not be running UM features. This would be behind the issues with ATI hotkey, Vent, Skype, sound loops, various crashes and the like.
I'm particularly struck by one poster who said that his drop-out problem with either Vent or Skype went away after he raised the priority of the process, and The Television's response to this pronouncement.
Just throwing this out there for consideration. Not all graphics processing happens in the GPU. CPU, RAM and the video bus all play their roles as well.
Update: The conversation referenced above occurred in this thread.
We've already been told by The Television that the CoH graphics engine got some wide-ranging overhauling to accommodate Ultra Mode, and that overhaul included tweaks to help low-end machines. That kind of work will produce bugs on their end. But it doesn't help when Intel and the 3rd party manufacturers that use Intel don't keep up the drivers on their end.
If CoH introduced major bugs to the graphics engine, we'd all be seeing it. But the numbers that have come to the boards for help is way lower than what we saw after CoV was introduced. The overwhelming majority of users aren't having problems, else they'd be here swamping the boards. That would indicate the majority of problems are not at the CoH end, but at the end of systems with outdated or unusual configurations.
There are memory leaks for sure, but they existed before UM was introduced. -
It would help if you could post the results of these two programs:
- CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
- HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

Quote:Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....Starting his post with the phrase "If you're level 50.. " displayed assumption and conclusion all at once.
It could be that only level 50's can use the work-around to avoid the bug because only level 50's can pick up the arcs at an O-crystal because the arcs go all the way up to 50. And *if* you're level 50, using the crystal in a base or in O-zone (and who is really going to make the argument that presuming a level 50 shouldn't already have an O-portal is a presumptuous 'assumption and conclusion'?) is almost always the fastest way to get to Cim anyway, and thus, should be recommended to do all times as a 'best practice' to save time in traveling which seems to be what almost everyone likes to do in this game anyway.
There was nothing in what I said which was insulting... unless you wanted to read into what I said with the worst possible assumption and conclusion all at once... an assumption and conclusion not supported by anything I wrote. -

Quote:You'll need to be a little more specific. Shaders and reflections are two different things. Then there are reflections for water and costumes/windows which are two different things. What settings are you trying to enable?I still can't change the graphics back to the old shader thing where I got the minor reflections. ...Or was that not the patch i was looking for?

Quote:Well, then, change your costume!Thank you. I guess my skull-faced, dark-miasma, black and red-suited vengeance killer will have to continue running around with a perky message over his head for a few weeks. It's a little incongruous, but "Happy 6 Year Anniversary - The Petrifying Deadshooter - Terror" has a bit of a ring to it.

Quote:Hi, xpaladin!When i open up COH and i log in with my account and password, when i try to create a character my screen is all black and i can't see my character's body. Also when i enter paragon city, all my screen is black and i can't see what im doing, i can just see the map and the objective.
Can someone tell me what can i do?
Thanks alot.
It would be helpful to not let this solutions thread get too long with individual problems. Please start a new thread in this section (after trying Tex's solution above). If you're still having problems, then in the new thread, please post the results of these two programs:

Quote:If you're level 50....Don't forget, there are some people that don't have bases, and some bases that don't have Flashback Crystals. Even more, there are some people that don't have Ouroboros access. I don't think asking for the bug to be fixed when entering this zone is unreasonable. What I do think to be unreasonable is someone telling another player how they should be getting around.
Bottom line, this needs to be fixed. -
Quote:I got a problem that is driving me up the wall. I am using a gateway laptop with vista. In the past the game would run ok but it would freeze up on me when I would click and drag items such as enhancements. In Sept I had to re-boot my computer to factory settings and re-load the game. When I did this I started getting very choppy movement and could not get the settings back to what it was prior to re-downloading the game. I figured I was missing some update, but while the game play was choppy the game was no longer freezing up when I would click and drag. This past week I downloaded a ATI update and now I am back to no choppy movement but freezing up again on click and drag.
