Cause what you percieve as sense , is that sense in your own world .
Or is that sense cause of your own experience ?
What you read is what you want to read , what you percieve is what you want to percieve.
Or what is taught by society or those around you .
A fire is a fire , its hot it can burn , but how do you know it can burn unless you put your hand over it .
Or do you say it burns cause everybody else says it burns and teaches you .
So is fire bad ? if fire is bad , we wouldnt have evolved .
Now again you can continue this in pm , or we can feed your post count .
But i posted cause like always it was on the reply what do you know is state of the art.
When technology is always one step ahead of the medium , what we have is not state of the art tommorow . what your expensive graphic card you just bought in the shop .
There is already a replacement in the warehouse a month ago .

I dont mind if its negative or postive but i find it quite funny .
How many epeens get hurt by just a simple statement .
Rep doesnt mean a thing to me , thats why i dont turn it off .
As long it makes people happy to click on it , it must mean a world of difference to them .

True, true, I was mostly speaking to if the low settings were still there (which they are for me). But to continue your info, once I got my specific computer's issues figured out (I had one of those hotkey issues, but not with ATI), the game actually seems to run much better for me at the settings I used previous to I17. So I will attribute that to the OpenGL fix you mentioned.
|
je_saist rightly corrects: actually some things were changed on the low end. Some of the old non-standard proprietary code was junked and re-written to, as I understand it, a stricter OpenGL specification adhearence. Theoretically this should have improved and standarized image quality across all OpenGL adhearent API sets (1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.0, 2.0 ES, and 3.0), but instead wound up appearently caused issues on certain vendors drivers: e.g. Intel, e.g. Fglrx / Catalyst drivers of a certain age, e.g. Nvidia drivers of a certain age. Hence the number of Intel users suddenly locked out of the game and finding shader quality wasn't an option, and the known issue with Geforce 4 crashes. |

Ok since Je saist is asking , and i missed it , i playing on XPS dell customised lapbook . that has 9700M gtx inside . so one of the first XPS runs released in europe .
So basically how old is it ?
So it isn´t state of the art anymore after how many years ?
When you were running 1900x 1200 was doing the same back then .
Now so what do you define as state of the art a computer thats bought last 3 months ?
When in 1 year time we are already onto newer machines .

Thanks for your help guys!
BTW, i see... or i barely see some "real" people out there. is my server
with low population or what?
When i played WoW, the noobz area where full o people.
Do you recomend me to change to other server?
im in Infinity 
Infinity tends to be fairly well stocked for players, I'm told.
May I suggest you look into joining a global channel for your server? Since much of the game is instanced and there are many zones to be in and even low-level toons can go into almost any of them, it can look empty compared to WoW, when in reality a lot of people aren't simply congretating in one area.
Also, you may want to look into the Mentor Project, listed in my signature.

If you haven't joined a global channel, you're not really looking for team.

WoW is mostly outside. CoH is mostly inside. You don't see the people playing here because they're mostly in instances. Infinity's one of those that rotate in and out of the third spot on the list and it's hardly dead. But if you WANT the big crowds under Atlas, your best bet is Virtue or Freedom.

Firstly, the fact that you're gaming with a mobile card can affect your ability to utilize Ultra Mode to its fullest. Not a single mobile GPU can compare to a decent desktop GPU. Secondly, no, its not "state of the art". While your laptop is half-decent, its not a high-end gaming laptop, nor is it the newest. Lastly, keep in mind that computer technology works in such a way that anything you buy is technically obsolete months before it hits the shelf due to there always being something better coming along behind it in short order.|

And as a side note, to satisfy my curiosity. You're from Europe so English is obviously a second (or even third or fourth) language for you. What is your native language? And from the formatting of your posts I'm somewhat inclined to think that you're using an online translation site to create your posts. Is that true? Nothing against it, just curious.

What you're seeing is the result of the game being mostly instances rather than open zone hunting. There could be hundreds of people playing, but if they are all on mission maps you won't see them.
It's a bit of a shock to people coming over from open zone games. But look on the bright side: You won't have to compete with 30 other people to get the Rat Pelt you need to get out of the tutorial

is this normal graphics??
The Anti-Aliasing is in x16, it's ok for a 6 year old game.
but.... why the boxes (the ones that are very far) are rendered
pretty well, and the people graphs are normal?
Civilians, to be honest, are pretty poorly rendered. Maybe they looked better back in the day (compared to the old graphic option scenery and on old systems) but these days a lot of them look pretty shabby.
Most of the mob factions look a lot better with a few notable exceptions. I hope someday they decide to re-do the Skulls and Hellions to look less blocky. Wouldn't kill the Outcasts to get a going over either.
Go into options and select advanced graphics options, then hike Character Detail up to maximum (200%). There is little to no impact on the game's performance when this is done unless you're in a huge raid-style fight which only happens toward the end range of levels.

Anyways, RadeonHD and Ambient Occulusion don't play well together, but first, make sure your drivers are up to date.
You said you had a Mobility 2600HD right? If you are running NT6 (Vista/Win7) Go here and get new drivers:

I assume this helped performance back in 2004 but it looks pretty hokey these days.

I can switch to my raid wow comp who is even more state of the art 64 bit .
But bet you it wont run well on everything max out .
I know graphics update was forthcoming . but when 95% couldn´t even play on maximum aegix PHX enhanced bloom out whatever maxout before ultra mode without having sever lag.
So the graphics were out of reach for most people already , why make a ultra mode , thats designed for the less then 5 % ?
So, given what we know of the hardware requirements, unless you are willing to provide the exact specifications of your quoted, state of the art, computer, it's probably not state of the art. For what you describe, you aren't not running anything that could be described as State of the Art.
Then there's the issue that yes, the developers did design Ultra Mode for higher end cards. They did so because that's what people will be buying this year, and next year. New gamers who have never played City of Heroes will be buying Going Rogue and expecting graphics that stress their system. They'll be expecting something that has the shadows or resolution details of Champions Online or DC Universe Online, or they'll be wanting something better.
And also, citing an Ageia enhanced effect? You... do... realize that back when the Ageia card was launched, players got the exact same performance benefit as adding an Ageia card as they got from going to a single core processor to a dual core processor? No? You didn't? Well, sorry, you did. Overall, the add-in AGEIA card actually did nothing for long-term performance, and really gave no performance gains at all.
As players moved into Dual-Core and Quad core systems, I imagine quite a few were able to run maximied physics effects. Personally I was able to drive maximum effects on an Athlon64 X2 3000 coupled with a Radeon x1950 AIW.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that anybody running a.. .and we'll use your term... state of the art computer... were hitting 1920*1200 with all features enabled, distance and detail maxed, and wondering what was next.
