Quote:Even without the security updates, there are a huge number of other updates included in the Service Packs, and any number of those could be having an impact on the game.Originally Posted by Thunderforce
That's not quite as big a problem as you might think; the system's behind a real computer, only exposed to the outside world in specific ways.
dxdiag shows normal dates. A bunch of the information from CohHelper is bogus (as I said, check out the page file information).
Why would I not want the drivers for the other audio devices present?
ETA: I've got a full dxdiag.txt, which might be easier than pondering CohHelper's output. Any use?
It's also possible that the lack of updates is what is causing the odd readings in CoH Helper. I suspect it isn't so much that the data from CoH Helper is bogus as you claim, but that the lack of updates is causing erroneous readings.
But no worries, if you don't want to follow the advice I give, I don't need to worry about continuing to give it.
Good luck. -
So ... put a sticky note on the monitor to disable f.lux before launching CoH?

Upgrade to at least Service Pack 2, preferably to Service Pack 3. You have some gaping security holes by not being patched up.
Also, it looks as if your video driver and audio driver installations are corrupted, which is the reason that the dates are funky.
To get the drivers installed correctly, install DriverSweeper but don't run it yet, uninstall the CCC and any other stuff for your video card and sound card first from Add/Remove Programs, then uninstall them from Device Manager.
Boot into Safe Mode. Run DriverSweeper and select the ATI Display Drivers and the Realtek Audio drivers. If it gives an option to get rid of those other sound drivers, do so.
Boot into normal Windows, but cancel any New Hardware Wizards that pop up. Install the drivers for your video card, reboot, cancel new hardware wizards, install audio drivers one at a time, rebooting between each one and cancelling the New Hardware wizards when you boot.
Once you get the drivers installed cleanly, and have updated Windows, post a new CoH Helper log.
It's possible that CoH Helper is having problems due to a .Net Framework issue. It requires .Net 2.0, and seeing that you are running SP1 doesn't leave me much hope that you've done other updates along those lines. -
I certainly hope you aren't going to be having too many problems gaming on that computer. I see you have Window Blinds installed, and just about any regular in the Tech forum can tell you that Window Blinds doesn't play nicely with CoH.
Otherwise, lookin' good. -
As others have said, it would be nice to have the Aspect marked on the map when spawned, or at least show an indicator when you get close to it. A few more HP on it would be a bit of a help as well, especially for times it spawns in large zones such as IP. People were complaining that it was dead before they got to it, which made sense in IP. I was just a bit surprised we found it as quickly as we did with that large of a zone to hunt through.

Are you running the game at 800x600 resolution?
It's known to cause similar issues. Likely the timing of going into the Enhancements screen just when it started the Architect Manager contact popping through didn't help. -
I think that the board game I saw mentioned that they played at PAX was Apples to Apples.
At least I think that was it. Someone mentioned playing it with pohsyb is the only reason it really caught my attention. -

CoH....it's a helluva drug
Also, Going Rouge. Damn I wish I could go to Hero-Con....gonna have a sneak peek at GR. I think the whole game should be done in this fashion (of course, that'll never happen cause you gotta have hero-/villain-only zones).
The whole idea of transitioning from hero to villain/villain to hero makes me all tingly in my special areas.
Still waiting for it. But from what Ghost Falcon says, I probably won't get it. -

Ok. The Texas Justice-mobile is full. If you need a ride, you'll need to contact one of our other attendees who will have wheels.
The last 2 seats went to syrusb and the +1.
So, that makes it a full minivan.

syrusb's +1.
Looking forward to seeing you all there. -
So Red, what's the latest scoop on the meal?

Quote:Well, for you I'd break my rule on teaming to help you get to 50. I have a PB and a Def that are in the mid-40's if they are needed, but would likely bring one of my 50's instead.Originally Posted by Red Valkyrja
No sympathy from me, I've worked every weekend (except for one and that was HeroCon) since I started playing.
So every 2XP weekend sees me pulling some late night.
I'd like to see my mains twin over on Justice ding 50 (hovering at 45), but I also don't want my friends stuck playing their 50's while doing so.
And helping a fellow player get to 50 isn't me being "stuck" playing my 50's, it's what I'd do for friends.

Quote:But the question is, do you HEAR what is going on here?Originally Posted by BackAlleyBrawler
Ah yeah...I see what's going on here.

Yes, you'd get the same problem of being locked out of that slot until the Store is back up. Unless you only have your original 12 slots. Those are safe, it's only the ones purchased through the store, the original extra slots awarded when this feature launched, or those earned through Vet Rewards that are affected.

Beber, please start a new thread about your issue so that it doesn't get confused with someone else's problems and so that the instructions for one person don't get confused with instructions for someone else. Post the information from your post here into the first post of the thread, along with results from the two programs below.
I'd recommend starting with Zloth's ++ Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines ++ thread that is stickied in this forum.
Secondly, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.
Thirdly, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH. -
Quote:No. Not the same. And it isn't 8am to 10am US Central, it's 6am to 8am US Central. There is only a 2 hour difference between Pacific Time and Central Time, not a 4 hour difference.Originally Posted by Chyll
Isn't this the same as its been for a while now?
That's 8am-10am US Central, which is what it has been.

I've asked for the tool to be restarted. In the future, please PM me if you see it go down again. Now that I'm back from paternity leave, my inbox is now accepting PMs.
Secondly, gratz on the new addition to the family. -
One of my favorites. I have hung it up at secretary's desks, principal's desks, and on my office door.
Still a classic, even though it's from August 1999.

Quote:Well, there's your problem. I'd recommend sending a PM to Avatea about the poor level of support that is received on the EU servers. Perhaps something can be done to resolve it.Originally Posted by TRTerror
Also this is EU support which is pretty much non existant.
If you don't let them know it's a problem, they won't know it needs attention.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Insert additional banalities here. -
According to Paragonwiki the Golden Roller is 15-19.
It's likely that Themari was offered since the run was likely started while you were Level 14. That is what it sounds like by you saying "finishing up at level 15" at least. -
Support can't show up if you don't file a /petition on it.
Support and QA are two completely different departments.
I've never had a problem with support failing to show up to correct a problem in a mission if I file a /petition and clearly state the issues. The only time I've had long wait times was right after Issue 2 or 3 was released when they were swamped with petitions. They've since cut down the number of the support personnel, but I've still gotten good response times when I've filed a petition and been clear in what the issue is.
Yes, the Devs do read this forum, but they can't complete the mission for you. -
So, file a /petition or call the contact and auto-complete the mission.
Nothing the players can do to assist you.
If you look at the title of this section of the forums, and it's explanation, you'll see the following:
Technical Issues & Bugs Discuss technical questions and/or bugs here! This is NOT a forum where official technical/QA support is available. To report a bug use the /bug command in game. For technical assistance email support@coh.com. -
Ok. I see a few problems that we can head off now so that when you've gotten the updater working you can have a more enjoyable gaming experience.
I'd recommend adjusting your CCC and ingame graphics settings to those in the first post of Bill Z Bubba's stickied ATI Issues and Settings Recommendations thread that is stickied in this forum. Bill explains the WHY of the settings as well.
As a quick rundown of the ingame settings that should be changed :
Disable Vertical Sync
Lower you Maximum Particles to 25050
Turn off Anisotropic Filtering
Turn Water Effects to Off or Low
Disable Bloom
Disable Depth of Field
Those settings are known to cause problems, which Bill's post covers better.
If you want to set your graphics settings before you get into the game, download and install TweakCoH then use it to set the graphics settings before you launch the updater. -
Must ... have ... more ... sharp ... pointy ... sticks ...

Let's see, where to start.
Click Start. Click Run. Type msconfig and click OK. Click on the Startup tab. Uncheck the following:
PhotoshopElementsFileAgent.exe
AppleMobileDeviceService.exe
mDNSResponder.exe
jqs.exe
LSSrvc.exe
QuickCam10.exe
HPwuSchd2.exe
OrderReminder.exe
apdproxy.exe
DISCover.exe
iTunesHelper.exe
jusched.exe
msmsgs.exe
Skype.exe
DiscStreamHub.exe
iPodService.exe
Core.exe
Hotsync.exe
COCIManager.exe
EasyShare.exe
WZQKPICK.EXE
jucheck.exe
GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe
msntask.exe
This should free up the resources enough to allow you to run CoH Helper without it timing out.
