Changing the code so you can use them again = suggestion

The functionality was not "BROKEN", it was taken away.. like you said. There is a BIG difference. New codes were added to the game, and I can accept partial responsibility for finding and reporting an exploit regarding the <> commands which resulted in them being disabled shortly after i12. The fact that previously functioning commands no longer work is not a bug... just an unfortunate consequence.

2 months in this forum.. How's that working for you?

I think the OP may have been referring to the end-of-beta event where the Rikti MOTHERSHIPS showed up over Atlas Park.

[/ QUOTE ] This could be true. I'd like to see it also.

Either way.. is it something we players can answer? lol

I'm coming in third place with yet another solution...

Make a new shortcut, designating the resolution. For example:
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -screen 1280 1024

I hesitate to use the safe mode option to change resolution only because any time I changed any options while in safe mode, the rest of the safe mode options saved as well, and I had to go through and change everything else again. This may not happen for everybody, every time.. but happening to me once was enough for me to take extra precautions. lol

Personally, I would have simply changed the registry information myself, but TweakCoH is a good alternative for those who aren't familiar/comfortable changing their registry manually like Texas_Justice suggested.

On a side note.. to prevent any personalized options from ever getting screwed up or having to be reset, I saved a *.reg file that I can use to "reinstall" my preferences quickly at any time.

Now I've gone on long enough.. Glad the OP got it fixed... now don't do that again! lol j.k

Seems I made the same incorrect assumption as Zloth and Mateo.

My apologies.

[/ QUOTE ] To clarify.. when I said "no real issues here", that meant crashing as well. Many people refer to game crashes as "DCs" these days as well. I mentioned disconnecting in the sense that.. I have not even disconnected, let alone crashed. Then I went on to say that the next closest thing was some fps issues one time. It may be possible that whatever was affecting me at that time may have crashed other systems. That would certainly explain why I didn't see many other people around. Everything else seemed normal at the time, and zoning fixed the issue. Then the affected zone was fine a short time later as well.

I have no idea what happened the one time, but I have not noticed any other odd behavior by the client or server in any way.

IIRC, that's because your resolution is too low. After similar threads like this in the past, I've reported it as a problem myself, and I believe others have also.

For now: If possible, you'll have to raise your resolution and/or take advantage of the window scaling feature to be able to manage those info screens better.

Also, you should be able to use the following command to close it for you:
/dialog_yes

Hmm...while I laud the warning posted here, I wonder why not doing so in game, as by all accounts only a fraction of patrons actually visit here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Notice of this rule pops up every time you log into the game. It's right there in the EULA that you click "I Agree" on.

[/ QUOTE ]Even people who bypass the loader (as I've read some people do) agree to it just by playing.

[/ QUOTE ].. and creating their account to begin with.

Are you sure it's restarting and not just checking its progress before resuming?

[/ QUOTE ] It could also be moving to the "applying" stage, which might take some time... which begs the next question..

OP: What are your system specs? The advertised system requirements for this game are ridiculously understated. Before you go off spending money on saving download time, you might want to make sure your system is good enough to even run the game. Hook us up with a CoH_Helper report so we can take a look at what you have.

What good is a tank in PVP anyway? lol ....

PS. Should I bring my stone tank?

[/ QUOTE ] Taunt puts a -75% range on target, pretty much forcing a melee situation. I don't know if that matters to anybody, but it might. Then again, it's not goign to have any effect on anybody that knows how to "joust". lol

<QR>

I have not disconnected once in weeks, other than one time that my internet went down (which I can't fault the game for).

The only unusual behavior I've seen is I was getting about 5fps in Atlas 1 last night around 1am ET. There was not a Rikti invasion going on, and I was not near the AE building... and there didn't seem to be many people around the Atlas statue either. 5fps is pretty bad considering I usually never dip below 30... even during invasions or raids of any kind. I think something was wrong with the zone. Somebody I was talking to on Vent (using a different computer) was also complaining of problems in Atlas. Other zones were fine... then again, it was fine when I went back an hour later as well.

In short.. no real issues here.

<QR>

Why not just talk in coalition then? Anybody in your SG would be able to read it, so why double it up by having it in the SG chat a well?

But a Global channel might be even better so you can still chat while playing other characters.


Other than that.. you CAN talk in two channels at once, but you'd have to type it twice anyway, or have your messages pre-determined with binds:

For example:
/c What's good tonight?$$sg What's good tonight?

I suppose you could get around this by:
-Set the chat to Coalition
-Type what you want to say
-control A (select all)
-control C (copy)
-End
-Type: "$$sg "
-control V (paste)
-Enter

If you get used to it, you might be able to do it fairly fast.. but I'd stick with the coalition and/or global channel instead. lol

I;m not really good with short forms, is Pst pacific?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. Pacific Time is offset from GMT (Greenwich, UK) by a value of -8. Eastern (New York, DC, Atlanta, etc) is -5.

You can use this site as a graphical reference.

[/ QUOTE ] During Daylight savings time, Pacific Time is only -7 of GT, and Eastern is -4... as shown by the link you provided.

Current GT: 4:02p
Current ET: 12:02p

[/ QUOTE ] PST means: Pacific Standard Time.. -or- Please Send Tell (lol)

Personally, I'd have made it easy and just omitted the specification: PT for Pacific Time, because right now we are in Daylight Time, not Standard Time...
but then again, some people abbreviate it: PST for Pacific Summer Time also, so that just adds to the confusion. lol
