Fun trivia. When MiniTurg came home, I decided I wanted to see how much a diaper could theoretically hold. Took one to the sink, dribbled water into it in 1 cup increments.
It can hold up to 3 cups of water before it starts rejecting.
Let that sink in.

since Sony has stated they WANT you to cross play your PS3 games with the Vita. Now you will have to purchase both versions of the same game and have the connections with AT&T another $15 (250mb) to $30 (3g) a month.

Good raid Kyo.
Thanks for stepping up on this. -

So I went to update them but they were updated..So i weent into the game to play.Twice not even 10 minutes of play time my computer just blinked off with no warning. Everything was going fine. One thing led to another. Basically, I had to do a system reboot today, and followed the forum advice, did the 'hijack this' thing before. I will post all my data I have, because I'm really not sure what I'm looking for. Thank you in advance and I do appreciate the help. Mind you, until a week or two ago I nevr had a problem with this and was playing just fine. The this error popped up.
Oh MY OS is windows 7 home premium 64-bit on an acer aspire 5552g
As I said in your other thread.
You are likely on the very latest version of the drivers for a specific ISV's version of the 6650M. Newer drivers may or may not be recognized.
It honestly doesn't matter if you're getting "Driver out of date" messages if your gaming is stable.
If you want to TRY to get onto the latest version of the AMD/ATI drivers (rather than your ISV's drivers), boot into Safe Mode.
- Remove the drivers.
- Reboot into safe mode and check it over with a registry cleaner or driver cleaner program.
- Do a clean install of the later version of the ATI/AMD drivers.
- Reboot into Windows normally.
I recommend having a copy of the ISV's driver bundle on the system just in case the AMD/ATI drivers don't find the graphics device. -

Every time I type in my user name and password a message comes up saying " The game client was unable to connect to the login server. This may be due to a local network issue such as a firewall block, or may be because the login server is down for maintenance"
I have turned off all my firewalls and checked the server status and it says all servers are up. It kicked me off this morning around 5:15. So whats going on here?
Then open up a command prompt and type.Code:/ipconfig flushdns
Then try starting up again.
Another possibility is that you've got some sort of malware issue and something's set itself up as a proxy. -

And while I normally don't recommend turning off security features, turning off UAC (User Account Control) does wonders for the system's friendliness and lack of hassles. -

Looking for any suggestions on what might be happening. Everytime I go to log out of the game the game will lock up .. I can do quit to desktop and it locks or I try to character screen then server then to log-in screen and it locks upon trying to exit.
Additionally, 80-90% of the time when I try to switch costumes using the pull down menu and access the costume screen the system locks. I have 10 costume slots.
If any has same problems or suggestion I would appreciate. ITs only the CoH that locks up the rest of the system is running ok.

my 'old' HDTV went out... but it was under warranty, and i just got a full reimbursement of the old HDTV purchase price (!), so i am buying a 3D HDTV to replace it... it's hard to buy an HDTV nowadays that is not 3D... hehe
it is possible to play CoH in full 3D?... if so, what do i need to know or get to do this?
FYI, I will have the computer hooked up to the 3D HDTV directly via a port in the back of the HDTV... it will be a Samsung plasma HDTV using active 3D glasses system...
I don't believe that CoH supports it. -

I appreciate the advice from fellow forum members. I have played this game since 2005, and I have been a member of the forum since 2006. I have never ever been ripped off. Now that it happens to me, and I talk about it on channels in game and broadcast, I am hearing stories from others.
Devs, you can help make this go away or help it be something which occurs less frequent.
And I can see their point, as much as it sucks.
Taking sides, even the "right" side opens them up to liability. It also opens them up to having to wade through bogus claims as well.
The best thing you can do with this is quietly PM anyone who asks what this piece of trash's real global is so that he can be blacklisted permanently from anyone who'd ever make any more such transactions. -
Quote:I hate to say it, but I'm betting you have one of those jacked-up "vendor-customized" jobbers.Originally Posted by Pogothulu
And I posted in the developers section too. Thanks.
Basically what some of the ISVs do is pay to have a "special" (in the negative connotation) version of the card made with custom firmware revs, cheaper construction, different RAM amounts, etc. The official drivers won't recognize them because they're essentially "one off" lots that the ISV has taken responsibility for (meaning they sell it, you buy it, and they do jack and **** in the way of actual support (because that would cost money) after). -

Quote:One other thing as well.Originally Posted by CaptainBaffo
Hey everyone, it's been awhile. It's good to see that there are a lot of people I recognize still floating around...
so anyway, I decided that, as a birthday present for myself, I'd get a game card and check out all the things that have changed in my first MMO love since I've been gone. I'll be traveling a lot over the next month and I'll have a lot of time sitting in hotel rooms with out much else to do. so I figured "what the hell..."
I left a little over 2 years ago, right around the time of I18 (I think it was just before, but i dont remember), and my question to you all is what do I absolutely need to try out? I'll have a couple of weeks (next week being the first) of pretty regular game time and I want to get the most out of the new (to me) content.
Let me know what you think and I hope to see you guys in game soon.
The game has moved to a hybrid model.
So, if you decide you don't want to continue paying the $15/month, you can still play for free with certain limitations.
For what those limits are see here:

I've been having problems with my video card and coh the last couple of days.
I have an AMD Radeon HD 6650M.. out of nowhere now, for the last week, the game gives me a red letter warning that my driver is outdated since 2010 (?)
so I go to update the drivers and the websites I use say they are updated already..so I go to play..two times..both times not even ten minutes into playing, my computer blinks off. no warning, just instantaneous shut off.
a friend suggested yesterday uninstall the video card and reinstall..this takes all day as everytime I find a link to reinstall it, its a website where they want me to buy something...finally I call the laptop manufacturer, explain everything...their answer: its obvious its the games fault! I explain, AGAIN, I had NO problems playing until this week..now he wants me to do a complete system reboot. so i have a lot of stuff to save to discs before i do this though.
Is there any help you guys you can give me?
oh, also, I downloaded a catalyst control center, but it gave me an error that it couldnt find a proper graphics adapter.... *sighs*
sorry for any typos, grammar, spelling errors, not much sleep the last week.
Post the info back here.
So you've gone into Add/Remove programs and uninstalled pretty much ANYTHING that says AMD/ATI on it?
Links to current Catalyst drivers for HD Mobility 6***M series.

32-Bit Windows Vista/7:
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/mobile/c...2-bit_util.exe
If you're on XP (which may be the issue), the ONLY place to get drivers is from the laptop manufacturer (which may be out of date).
If you can get the original drivers to reinstall, you can set up the launcher to just ignore the "out of date" warning. It's simply a detection routine to tell you your drivers are technically out of date. It doesn't mean the game isn't still playable. -
Okay you're on an Invuln tank.
Trying to build for recharge bonuses is pretty much pointless.
You wanna build for Defense Cap.
And don't futz with the "Psi Hole". You're NOT going to close it.
However, your AoE and Ranged defense should cover you sufficiently.
Take a look at Call_Me_Awesome's guide to Invuln tanks and the soft cap.
In the mean time, take a look at my current build.

Quote:With the Corsair liquid coolers, you'd have to be SERIOUSLY abusing your system (as in tossing it down stairs) before it pops a leak.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
While I'm personally not a fan of liquid cooling but I can understand why it's attractive. However having another point of failure or two (the pump dieing or springing a leak) concerns me since I leave my system on 24/7 (BOINC) even while I'm away on business.
The pump dying is a valid concern, but I know of several people using H60 and H80 series coolers with no problems right now.
Additionally, with the thermal protection present in modern CPUs it's actually rather difficult to fry a CPU nowadays.
