  1. I'm guessing the video options screen that many other MMOs let you have access to before you even get into the game.

    SoAngry, please go ahead and post the log results of the CoH Helper and HijackThis programs and we'll let you know how to set those sliders!
  2. Check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines


    Then post the results of these two programs:

    <ul type="square">[*]CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
    [*]HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format &gt; Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

    How long do you think it will take for your site to produce something that rivals the info found at: www.paragonwiki.com ?

    If you want to reinvent the wheel, that's up to you. But providing fan support for a game with a very well established, very well run official and fan-based sites and forums and 3rd party apps already in place is going to be very, very, very difficult.

    Good luck in your endeavor, though.
  4. The Devs/Mods confessed they made a mistake when they used that picture to advertise the new costumes.
  5. Turn off Bloom, Desaturation, and Depth of Field. ATI doesn't work well with those for CoH. And for the same reason, keep off Anti-aliasing and water effects.

    Vet rewards has become unstable. If something is wrong, start a Customer Support ticket. They'll probably have to resolve all issues by hand.

    Would unbinding the semicolon work?

    Edit: Drat... doesn't look like it... oh well...

    They broke it internally when they tried to fix the chat bug that threw in a lot of extra random characters.

    According to the Wiki, "While a character can slot the same (full or partial) set multiple times in different powers, he cannot benefit from more than five copies of any one set bonus of the exact same attribute and amount."

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Read. The rest. Of the section...

    <ul type="square">Castle further elaborated on the rule of five in I13 Closed Beta saying that the exclusion of more than five of the same bonuses is [u]based on the name of the bonus and not its value.[u] For example, a character can benefit from up to five global benefits of Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Recharge Speed, which gives a global +7.5% bonus to Recharge Rate, as well as up to five set bonuses of +7.5% Recharge. That's because under the Real Numbers in a character's Combat Numbers window, you will see the Luck of the Gambler with a total of 37.5% Recharge bonus (5 x 7.5%) and Huge Recharge Bonus with 37.5% Recharge bonus -- two different named bonuses, even though they have the same value bonus for the same attribute.[/list]
  9. Go to your CoH directory and delete keybinds.txt. Then enter the game.

    Then, make sure there's no other bind trying to use those keys. Bind the 'no operation' and then a blank bind to them like this...

    /bind &lt;key&gt; nop
    /bind &lt;key&gt; ""

    Then bind them the way you want them. Then save them with /bindsave

    Then log out. Do not zone. Do not exit directly to desktop. Let the countdown count down. This ensures there's a server save of your character. Then exit the game. Reboot your computer.

    Go back into the game and see if your keybinds stuck.
  10. Try deleting the checksum.coh file and run the updater again.

    So what do you think of my announcement?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It is thoroughly consistent with your previous posting history.
  12. 1. Copy pigg files from Live directory to Test directory.

    2. Delete checksum.coh

    3. Run updater.


    That did it for me.
  13. Update your graphics card driver! Nao!


    Also, you hard drive is past the 2/3 full mark. Have you defragged lately?


    Hard Drive cleaning ====

    1. Go to control panel and then Add/Remove Programs and get rid of any programs you don't need any more.

    2. Go into Windows Explorer (not the Internet Explorer) and right click on your C: drive and chose Properties. Under the General Tab, you'll see a button for Disk Cleanup, run it and get rid of deleted (recycle bin) and temp files.

    3. Under the General Tab, make sure Indexing is not selected. Unless you need to do quick searches of your documents on a regular basis, you don't need this. It may take a while to propagate the un-indexing to all the sub-folders.

    4. Go to the Tools Tab and click on the defrag button. Run the defragger. It may take an hour or two to defrag. Make sure the computer doesn't power down during it (you'll find power options where you change the screen saver -- right click on desktop...).
  14. The answer is simple: Everyone needs to migrate to global channels that don't use spaces in their names!

  15. Random thoughts:

    Have you tried skipping putting the channel name in quotes and tried replacement for the space? Such as with an underline or %20?
  16. Check out this thread, Common Solutions &amp; Posting Guidelines


    Then post the results of this programs:

    <ul type="square">[*]CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.[/list]

    Also, go to CoH directory and delete the coh.checksum file. It may be that one that's corrupted. The updater will download a new version and use that to check all the other files.

    quick question

    [ QUOTE ]
    Okay, this is a list of all contacts on the CoH side (looks to be missing Croatoa and the Midnight Squad contacts however).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You probably meant to say Cimerora instead of Croatoa.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nope. When the time comes to give you a level 5-10 Mutation Contact, you'll be assigned one of those three randomly. But they all give the same exact set of missions.

    This was probably done in the early days of CoH so that there weren't big crowds gathered around the same contact. But that concern never really panned out as an issue to be avoided. So, when they added the zone-arc zones (Hollows, Striga, Croatoa) and CoV, they abandoned the generic contact model and made the contact intimately tied into the missions they gave.

    So, why are the carebears moaning about this badge again?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I, surprisingly, don't really see anyone whining in this thread so far.

    You forgot to mention how it *forces* you to PvP.
