Thanks for your response, TJ! I was actually trying to help a friend, and you might have solved it!

what would cause the launcher to go right to the test server, instead of live? I think it may be that live/test are in the same folder. Any ideas?

Swan, you really do need a more powerful PSU no matter what card you have. And since Nvidia make the 7600GS card in both agp and pci, I still don't know which your card is. If it is a pci, the 9800GT will work with a better PSU. If it's an agp, you could get the 7900GS or a 7950GT card that you'd most likely be really happy with.

Swan, I, too, have a +7 year old putersaurus that still has an agp card. (Nvidia 7900GS) I put a 550-watt psu and 2 gigs ram also in to handle everything, and I have quite a bit of the ultra mode eyecandy in my game. (Been playing since day 1 also.) Is your 7600 an agp or pci card?

Sin, this makes me curious..
Texture LOD Bias: Crisp
shouldn't it be set to smooth?
Also, even though I have an Nvidia card, whenever I upload a new driver I always use a driver cleaner first to remove all traces of the old to avoid conflicts. This one is free, but I bought Driver Cleaner Pro for $9.99 a while back:
Free driver cleaner
I always clean out temp files, etc and close unnecessary background crud before I log into the game. I also always defrag right after a patch. (CCleaner and Defraggler are my favorite tools for that, free also.)
If I experience lag in the game (rarely) I type /reloadgfx the /sync and that usually helps.
I sure wish I could help you, Sin. My old puter seems to work better with CoH than some new shiny ones...I'd like to think it's due in part by the way I maintain it. Good luck and above all, don't give up!!! You will solve it.

oooooooooooooo-k

I'll never know how this happened, but sure glad I nabbed it!

According to the site, your card is supported by those drivers.

I have 7900GS card (it's agp) and those drivers work great for me.

I have a very old puter (still has an agp card) and play for hours at a time. Seldom get laggy, but when I do I do 2 things: I hit my keybind for /reloadgfx and also hit my taskbar shorcut for ipconfig /flushdns.

This works for me. YMMV

2. Joseph Mengele.....I'd be wearing a flesh-eating bacteria-laden spiked steel glove.

3. My dad. Just one more time to hug him and give him a kiss...just once more.

Sooner..those are really wonderful solutions! I hope Razor can find someone!
