  2. Disclaimers:
    1) I don't have a mac, but I use Cedega on Linux which is about the same as Cider on a Mac...
    2) I'm still at work, and I haven't been able to see if my Linux set up works or not...

    I found a possible fix for the Mac on the French forums:
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=211250

    If you can't read French (and French gaming jargon at that... ), here is my own translation:

    Quote:
    Right-click on "City of Heroes" in your Application folder and choose "Display content of folder".

    You will find a folder called "Contents" (containing the game's data files).

    Go there: /contents/resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh/

    You will find those files: "CohUpdater.EU.exe" et "CohUpdater.EU.prv".

    Right click on "CohUpdater.EU.exe" and choose "copy", and then choose "paste".

    You will then have a file called "CohUpdater.EU-copy.exe" that you must rename as "CohUpdater.exe".

    Keep the old "CohUpdater.EU.exe" in the same folder for now.

    All you need to do is launch the game via your usual shortcut in the Application folder, and wait. After a full verification of the game files, the game will start as before (should take 2-3 minutes for the verification).
    Good luck !
  3. Humm... there was a bug during Closed Beta that prevented users to create characters on Test server. The problem seemed to be that the server did not recognize any character slots above the basic 12.

    The workaround: delete characters until you have less than 12, and try again.

    BUT... this is from memory, so you might want to wait for someone to confirm / correct this information before trying.
  4. Too bad I'm busy Saturday, I might have tried the "No Enhancements" one...

    ... or not: the Lady Grey's is one of the few TFs I haven't done yet, so I would probably prefer to do it in a more relaxed setting...

    Oh, I can just smell that fresh baked video card... mmmmmmmmmmmm....
  6. Task Force Truth finished the Sara Moore TF in 3:28:46, even with 2 members MIA (darned Internet) !

    Unfortunately, this is the last TfT that I'll be able to organize (or even participate in) for the foreseeable future.

    Hopefully someone will pick it up until Kyo can reclaim her mantle again...

    It could also be that July is a bit too far in the future for most of us...

    As far as redside? I have one character... single digit levels, made him as a joke. Never played Villain seriously just because it's taken me long enough to play Hero with any commitment to a character.
    Oh well, we can always go to the Test Server and PEW PEW PEW !

    I kept track of those times for a -reason-, my friends.
    You mean, this one ?
    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...&postcount=340

    So the answer is: it *can* be done in 4 hours.

    Humm.... This TF requires a full team of 8, and at the time of this posting, we have 3 players (Angel Red, Archive and me).

    If we don't get at least 3 more by this time tomorrow, I might have to pull the plug on this TF, and re-schedule it for later.

    A rather ominous start to my "career" as TfT organizer...

    Another idea, if running the Sara Moore TF at this time doesn't pan out, perhaps we can go redside.

    o.O

    O.o
    Don't know about V-S, but I have a lvl 33 MM and a level 23 stalker redside, so... why not ?

    Sorry, going to GenCon again this year, and possibly Hero Con if there is one (and if I can get the time off)...

    Might be the last GenCon for a while, though, so maybe next year ?

    It is the first time I'm doing it, so I have no idea... Anyone else ?

    But eating beforehand is always a good idea

I will no longer be able to organize or run them, although if I'm home and able to stay for the whole time I might join in if someone else decides to run them. I'm hoping somebody out there will have enjoyed Task Force Tuesdays enough to pick up where I left off, and if someone wants to, I'll be happy to answer any questions about organizing it they might have (although it's pretty simple). Thanks for nearly a year's worth of great TF runs and tons of fun, all!

    <3Kyo
    for Kyo, for us...

    But with Kyo's permission (I had already PM'd her about it), I would like to continue organizing Task Force Tuesdays.

    We'll skip the Dr. Q's Task Force for now, and pick it up with:

    * Sara Moore's TF, next week on Tuesday (February 23rd) at 8:00 PM EST.

    Unless everyone can make it tonight
    In that case, let me know asap - This TF needs a full 8-men (-women, -robots, -aliens, -whatever) team !

    1) Archiviste / Kreetch

  24. On my Invulnerability / Super Strength Tanker, it's Unstoppable: if I have to turn it on, it means I'm in deep doo-doo and I have less than 3 minutes to turn the situation around...
