In largely populated areas, it's usually the server and/or network lag that tends to affect most people, in which case, the new system wouldn't be too different in that regard. You'll also suffer from the lower framerates, but probably not as low on a system with higher specs.

I'd say you'll find yourself with overall increased performance and maybe quicker load times either way... but I don't think your old system was that bad, other than not being multi-core. You should have been able to use near-full settings on the old system, but the new system should run it without the slight performance loss.

In short.. It will certainly hold up fine, but I hope you aren't upgrading for the sole purpose of playing CoH better... unless you have the money to burn.

I used the first mission of the STF to farm my Mu Guardians and Toxic Tarantulas. If you advertise on your server's channels, there are usually enough people to help you hunt and/or full so you can repeatedly start the TF.

As for Faultline.. think there are Arachnos at the very South end I believe.. but I can't attest to there being Mu guardians. Probably a lot of Seers though at least. IIRC, there are some Raider Engineers down there for the Force Field Generator badge also.

[/ QUOTE ] Wow, 1 week between runs? This is monumental.. I'll be sure to mark it down on my New July Calendar!


[/ QUOTE ]

Hopefully not too monumental...

I wanted to run this a few times in close proximity in order to get a feel for what works & what does not.

I was actually considering having a run Thursday night - I figured mostly everyone would have Friday off...what do you think, should I add in a run Thursday this week as well as Saturday?

Also, for the pulls on the last mission, I think we should have probably moved over to the other side to pull Sister Psyche after the first 2 successful pulls.

I think you would have had better success.

[/ QUOTE ] I think last time we did it, I simply chose the Hero on the opposite side, and it worked fine. Problem here was I didn't even shoot sister, but listened to whoever was calling out names and just pulled the next closest, without regard to position.

I'm up for trying it again with a little more logic, and/or going to the other side to do it.. sure..

Also.. I'm game for both nights.. no problem. Regardless if we get the badge on Thursday or not, I'll still bring Robin to help on Saturday's team... unless you have some reason for needing my Stalker instead. ROFL.

IIRC, one of the active Tech Issues frequent posters plays on dial-up, though I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head.

[/ QUOTE ] I believe it's Father.. but I could be wrong.

That can happen on ANY mission, at ANY time.. not just Maria. Apparently sometimes it's possible for somebody to still be on an AE arc when they log in, but not have any "quit task force" or "architect option" buttons... allowing them to be invited to a team. The onyl way to tell you are on the AE arc is to check your active mission window.

Anyway, this glitch probably messes up several missions and TFs every day. And not for nothing, but "What do you want us to do about it?!" lol j.k

If you want to tell the Devs about a problem, send in a /petition.

Have you ever heard of cut-and-paste or copy-paste or whatever? That's utilizing the Windows clipboard. Windows clipboard is CTRL+C (for copy) and CTRL+V (for pasting). (Make sure if you're manually copying something that it is highlighted.)

[/ QUOTE ] and in this case.. The CoH_Helper program automatically copies it for you, so all you have to do is press Control-V (Paste) in the forum.

NAM would be in your control panel under Add/remove programs. You'd select the NVidia driver program and select to uninstall NAM, if it's even there.. And the HiJack This log will let us know if NVidia's NAM is even running in the first place.

Wasn't this an old ATI issue? SOmething about FSAA or something. Maybe check BillZBubba's stickied ATI thread, both of you, if you (or Gaymers friend) are using ATI cards.

[/ QUOTE ] I re-read the OP and I think you might be right on this one. I was misreading the issue.. but hopefully the reports will come soon and shed some light on the situation.

Sorry.. I just have this need to plug my calendars whenever I get a chance. May only hit about 70 views, but after word spread and I started including the links in my sig.. June reached almost 500. I just created July the other day and It's already up to 100 views. lol

The only problem is that my first one is still my favorite. The new ones just aren't living up to my expectations.. and I'm not sure what I'll include in Augusts.. (hopefully some new i15 content)

I could go with... dial-up internet connection.

[/ QUOTE ] Now you are just pushing your odds. lol

On a side note, it was always my understanding that alt, control, and shift are chords, but the specific keys (with L and R) were just that.. specific keys. I was pretty sure "LSHIFT" couldn't be chorded... unless it's actually bugged to work this way. I dunno.

Edit:
I just tested, and I think I'm right.. trying to chord Lshift automatically defaults it to shift. Pressing the right shift button yields the same results, and a bindloadfile shows SHIFT+LBUTTON (without the first L).

[ QUOTE ]
Yay! It's working great now! Seems to be cleared up to 100% now. Now I can tank in Granite better then before. Thank you, everyone.

[/ QUOTE ] I hope your tanking ability didn't really depend on this bind working..

Anyway.. glad you have it working the way you wanted.

It's possible that the shift key got messed up with all your previous attempts. Try /unbind shift and see if that fixes it.

[/ QUOTE ]I would use /bind shift nop when trying to clear a key instead, as unbind just sets it to the default.

[/ QUOTE ]
The default of shift is Nop.

[/ QUOTE ] Even so, it's a good point to make for future reference regarding other keys.

Well I got the "I phail" award tonight...

I saw Turg losing health, so I put him on follow and queued Transfusion.. only to find out he wasn't even with us, but AFK still outside, so I ended up going right into the next mobs, and got out a moment too late on the greens. Turns out, Turg had come back and was just shaking off a Boss that was at the entry door, so it was pointless trying to go after him anyway. lol

Well.. it was a fun night overall and can't wait to go for it again soon!

See you all Monday for the STF!

[ QUOTE ]
You can't award yourself the "I phail" award MB, you are the awarder of the award not the recipient

[/ QUOTE ] Well it would have helped if I posted in the right thread. ROFL

Looks like I phail again.. haha


BTW.. I don't decide who gets the award... it's an automated process. lol

I uninstalled, and reinstalled both games and they are working like a charm. I didn't know wher to find the NAM files (I looked everywhere) so I couldn't disable them as was suggested, I wasn't trying to dis u by not doing what u suggested.

[/ QUOTE ] Well you wouldn't have found it if you don't have NVidia, but we wouldn't know that, and still don't know that, because we never got the reports that we asked for. Posting that info is very helpful to getting pushed in the right direction. If you don't post it, you don't get help.

As it is, you did your own thing, so what was the point of even making a thread?

That said.. if your reinstalling experiment ends up not working (like it didn't last time).. then please POST THE REPORTS so we can actually see what you have and look for other possible causes.

Edit: I somehow posted in the wrong thread, so... nvm. lol

It's a known issue. It will usually start firing off once you go back into combat mode.

Each character has to unlock costume parts separately, unless they are veteran rewards, or a purchased pack, neither of which the Roman gear is.

Guessing:

You are using NVidia 177.79 drivers.

If you are using Vista, update them to 185.85
If you have XP, go ahead with 186.18

-OR-

Post the CoH Helper and Hijack This reports so we can make a less-psychic diagnosis.

And bets are in. Mateo picked the odds on favorite of insufficient memory. Mandu is going big and trying for the trifecta of insufficient memory, single core processor, and no dedicated video. Any more wagers before the betting window is closed?

[/ QUOTE ] Oh man.. I should have gone with the trifecta too.. lol

Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1

[/ QUOTE ]
Most likely that. Get service pack two. It should show up on Windows Update.

(And you might want to hunt down some more recent Realtek sound drivers, too, though that's unlikely to be causing this problem.)

[/ QUOTE ] Realtek drivers are always readily available right from http://www.realtek.com/ under "Quick Links".

If you don't believe me, go find one of those AE missions with a ton of ambushes, stand in the middle, and hit a PBAoE. If it's poorly slotted, it's possible to see more "Miss"es than targets allowed, plus capped targets being hit.

[/ QUOTE ] I always assumed it just displayed "miss" over the foes within the aoe range, but over the cap. I didn't think I actually rolled badly that many times in a row.. What does the ToHitRoll chat display?

I'm guessing insufficient memory. We'll see when the reports come down..

[ QUOTE ]
How do you live with out haste?

[/ QUOTE ]

Quite well.

I have very few characters with Haste. If recharge is a problem, I tend to slot for it (not multi-million-IO-slot, just throw a recharge redux in.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Nitpick..

[Hasten] is the power from the Speed power pool.
+70% recharge for 2 minutes
-15 endurance after 2 minutes

[Haste] is much better, but only available through a buff from the large crey lab equipment.
+100% recharge for 5 minutes
+100% runspeed for 5 minutes
+100% flyspeed for 5 minutes

I wish I could get Haste and slot it! lol

[ QUOTE ]
I'd send a report if they didn't have such a poor track record of getting back to me. I think they are 1 and 5 so far.

Texas_Justice: This is a place to discuss technical issues with the game, no? You know more than just players view and reply to topics on these forums. Witty remark rejected.

PP: I have 2 sticks of RAM, each with 2 gigs. It's not me, It's the Infinity Server.

[/ QUOTE ] It could also be any number of internet nodes inbetween your computer and the server. I'm not saying the game servers never have their share of problems, but if they were as serious as you make it seem like, I'm sure there would have been another upgrade by now... not to mention the busier servers would probably be much worse, which they aren't.
