  1. It's possible. But, as I've said, I've done things like wait for patches to dissipate, run back in and all of the sudden "Oops. DEAD!"
  2. It'll run the game on very low settings.
    Your video drivers may be damaged (or just really too old) though as your resolution is reporting as

    Star Sage said:
    NCsoft launcher when uninstalled fixed my computer
    When I reinstall it the problem comes back
    The problem beng my computer won't shut down without being forcefully shut down
    So atm I lack NCsoft launcher

    So I have a few questions...One is, what's a way to fix this or what could be causing this? The other is, is there a way to play CoH WITHOUT the launcher? :|
    Wait. The topic says NCSoft is forcibly shutting down the machine.

    But you're saying that what's REALLY happening is that something is hanging the machine when you try to reboot it?

    Are they leaving the NCsoft launcher up all the time? If so, have them try my NCSoft launcher optimization HOWTO.

  4. Hijack This.

    NOTE: Have subbed my name in some areas for "Hyperstrike". So byte-size for the HJT log will be off.
  5. Okay, for a couple weeks now (basically since the drop of i23), I've been noticing that, at times, I'm not getting visual effects for various crap patches in iTrials. Not entirely sure if it's because the rest of the trial is overloading my GTX 560Ti graphically (unlikely) or if something is wrong.

    In addition to bugging, I'm posting here and asking if anyone else has noticed this.

    Note: This is not a case of "Scrapperlock...Oh! Death patch! I'm dead!" lack of situational awareness.

    This is being killed by the death patches in MoM where there's no purple crud on the floor. This is being killed by charging back in after Tyrant finishes his lightning strike, with no ground effects whatsoever and taking damage from the lightning patches. Basically with no VFX around me other than ones I'm generating and I have red numbers start floating off of me out of noplace.

    The first couple times it happened I got annoyed. Now I'm getting REALLY annoyed with it. So any corroboration or assistance in this would be fantastic.


    CoH Helper.
    Note: Where it says "Antialiasing Off". I'm running FXAA (Shader based antialiasing). Roughly equivalent to 4x FSAA.

  6. If you're crashing, the problem COULD be the drivers. Or it could be something else. The fact that others can game stably on the various releases of nVidia drivers points to something else.

    When you say "upgraded OS". Did you actually "upgrade" or did you install clean? That can make a difference.

    What do you mean "optimized memory"?
    Just an FYI, various "memory optimizers" and registry cleaners can have detrimental effects on your system if you don't know what you're "cleaning".

    Can you give us a CoH Helper again please? Not DXDiag, CoH Helper.

    Also, dxdiag? Non-free? Huh? dxdiag is part of the Windows system load from pretty much XP on. All you need to do is go to a run prompt and type in dxdiag.

    Get the CoH Helper and HJT logs out here and we can figure out if there's a software issue or if you have a piece of hardware misbehaving.

    Outside of the fact that, with the bump in range Blaze is getting, you now have fairly massive killing power in the 1-2 punch of Snipe/Blaze. This will make decking plus-level LTs easier.

    You will need your Twitch.TV username and password.

  9. Hope to still see you around when the urge to bash face gets too great for you.
    Sorry that this choice is being forced on you like this Janlee.
    In the mean time, just sit back and let us entertain you with some creative butt-kickery.

    It'd make more sense to allow that power to mount a regular Taunt IO then.

    However,


    you REALLY underestimate these. Don't forget, these are the civilians that step off skyscrapers without damage, and as they casually walk by and wave push a Granite-ized stone tank out of the way without slowing down. If anything, they should be picking US up and heading for the exit.
    Stonehead: Hi! I'm Stonehead the Granite Tank! And I'm here to save you!
    L33t Ski11z: Thank god! Let's go!
    *Shoulder Toss*
    Stonehead: WHAAA! How did you...
    L33t Ski11z: Shh! You'll attract some of them! I'll get us to the door. And can you turn off the mudpots? They're messing up my fly ThinkGeek tee!

    Global Taunt IO

    Just as soon as we see a proc that bumps the Tanker damage cap Adeon.

    Giving every AT Gauntlet basically completely obviates tanks.

    Wp/SS Tank

    Not a bad build at all. Especially with Cardiac in there your Endurance generation will RIDICULOUSLY outstrip your consumption.

    One small change. It'll lower your max HP a little, but it'll bump your resistance a bit and give you marginally higher recovery.

    Replace the two pieces of Steadfast that are in High Pain Tolerance with 2 Impervium Armor (Resistance and Res/End).

    Also, swap the Numina +Rec/+Reg into Health in place of the Heal/Rech.
    In Fast Healing, go Heal, Heal/End, Heal/Rech.

    This will bump your regen up a bit more.
  14. Gaming is part of my life. It has been for over three decades. I liked it so damn much I helped found a gaming company. So part of my work is...play.

    Regrets? Maybe one. That I couldn't turn MORE people on to how beneficial gaming can be to one's life.

    I wouldn't call that "running". Unless you consider the slow gimp a broken-legged movie zombie does to be "running".

    Tell that to the schmoes who spend another complete system's worth on a board and maxi-memory, then never utilize it all.

  21. Memory limits for Windows XP.

    Memory limits for Windows 7.

    XP-32 maxes at 4GB (though with upper memory, you'll only see about 3).
    XP-64 maxes at 128GB. But XP-64 was the ******* stepchild of Microsoft and hardware support, while "okay-ish" EVENTUALLY, is pathetic next to WinVista/Win7 support.

    Win7-32 maxes at 4GB (There's "Starter" which maxes at 2, but only an idiot would buy that, as it's meant for low memory tablet type systems.)

    Win7-64 Home Basic: Maxes at 8GB.
    Win7-64 Home Premium: Maxes at 16GB.
    Win7-Pro/Enterprise/Ultimate: Maxes at 192GB


    One last thing, while people are telling you to just ignore 32-bit and go 64-bit, I'm going to say this. I don't know what your system is. So I don't know if it is 64-bit OS compatible. You may want to post a CoH Helper dump here and give us whatever specs you can on the machine (Make, Model, Model Number, etc) so we can give you an informed "64-bit will work fine".
  22. Well, if you want to get crazy, you could build an Ninja Blade/Electric Armor Stalker past Incarnate softcap S/L/AoE. Without Divine Avalanche (which would just serve to make it ridiculous levels of defense).

    Build Advice

    Reactive Armor:
    3 Slots: Boosts E/N (which you have a decent starting amount of) and Ranged
    4 Slots: Boosts S/L (which you have a decent starting amount of) and Melee

    Impervium boosts Psi defense, which you have NONE by default. And at most, can stack up to just under 10% on Impervium set bonuses alone.

    The build I posted has 25% Ranged and 22% AoE defense by itself, it only has 16% Psi defense. But it's MUCH more durable across a broader swath of enemy types due to being capped to all typed defense save psi.

    Even if you convert those sets of Reactive to Impervium.

    1: Your S/L will go down but you'll still be normally soft-capped (45%) (not Incarnate soft-capped).
    2: Your E/N will drop below normal soft-cap.
    3: Your Psi defense will only climb to 22%. Since Ranged and AoE are ALREADY above this, your net gain is negative due to the E/N defense lost.
  24. Hyperstrike

    Ram Drive

    Oh yes. One other thing. Remember, RAM disks aren't persistent. So they don't survive reboots. Meaning that the system needs to write the contents of the RAM disk back to a storage device before shutdown.

    This can be a fairly sizable write, and can severely shorten the life of an SSD if such is used as the storage device. And pushing the storage files for a RAM disk to a hard drive just has you slowing down your OS as you wait for a multi-gig drive to be initialized from slow mechanical media.

    For things like browser caches, scratch disks, etc, RAM disks excel. For larger loads like games...not so much.
