Several of the Ultra mods seen to turn themselves on by default try first hitting set to defaults. Then Setting graphics quality to minimum. That's the most drastic thing to do. You can re-enable what you want from there.
Though the problem is most likely from something called Ambient Occlusion set it to off.

I know you've bin told to update your graphic drivers. But did you actually go to your card manufactures website and get the update or are you just relying on windows update? Because despite having gone to the website and downloaded the latest drivers windows keeps trying to make me download an older version.

There moving where now. The booster packs have bin coming out for a while now. The resin little in the way of new costumes being released is because the art team are busy on a little thing called Going Rouge. We are talking about a whole new world with new zones, enemies, ATs, the mysterious Incarnate system, new story lines and of coarse costume pieces. So much so that as they have stated they have little time for responding to forum questions But even with there heavy workload they still found time to add new mission arias. Be a little more grateful and a lot more patient. Or my brand spanking new demons will eat you. : P

DS/poision bad just bad.

That's because the test and live aren't realy the same game. The changes and modifications made on test aren't in live yet. Think about it could you put a AE mission with a DS MM in it into the version of the game that doesn't even have it yet? You might. I said you might be able to transfer it over during the time when bother versions match up. But in all fairness you shouldn't be allowed to do that anymore than you can transfer a toon from test to live.

You do know that contrary to dogs when cats swish there tails back and forth that quickly it usually means there angry. I found this might be useful.

Oh, and before I forget. KITTY!!! : )

Well fudge bunnies. I go on to save my DS toons costume to transfer over to live and I so nothing. Since I don't have any toons on Freedom I though that all my test toons were deleted.

Not sure if this will help but have you tried resetting your windows. It's something like Menu>options>window>reset window

DS/Poison : )

I've bin going with Megaman baddies. For some resion I don't feel bad about letting met-tool or sniper joe die. :P

How about one that lets you slot the old ones. :P

Welcome man and the one who pasted that bumper sticker on you're tail was totally that other guy dude. :P

On a serious note you do know by posting here your totally putting your head on the chopping block for a avalanche of annoying comets, complaints, questions, and messaging right. :/

Got it fixed I think. Turns our the last time I cleaned the case out I overlooked the CPU's fan/heat-sink.

My game seems to work for a while lag for a while thine work for a while?

If kinetic is knock-back knock-down based is it any different than energy melee?

That looks just like energy melee to me.

My game can go from running fin on max graphics to jagger steeping, even on the lowest setting, at seemingly random times. There's no since of any game factor causing it. Arias and toon screen counts don't seem to matter. Back during most of the Halloween event even with zone arias counting in instanced of 3 and 4 there were no problemes. It only started near it's concussion. It seems that this lag only crops up before new events/issues are released. When the programmers would be loading things up on the back end. Is it possible that this is the cause of the lag?
