  1. For your first problem I can almost guarantee that the problem is a corrupted playerslot.txt file.

    Go to CoH directory and there should be a subdirectory with your global name and in that subirectory, the corrupted file. So, a typical installation would be:

    C:\Program\City of Heroes\ShadowsBetween\playerslot.txt

    Exit the game and delete that file. Restart the game and move your characters around wherever you want and it should stick and work correctly now.
  2. Odd... you're using a lot of memory but there really isn't much running in the background (although, you can easily kill the aggressive Google, Acrobat, Messenger, and Java processes).

    On a reboot, open Task Manager and look under Performance: How much memory is being used by Page File (PF Usage)? Then run CoH for a while and see how much PF is being used.

    I have found that once I start hitting 1.5 Gig of RAM in use while gaming, things get very unstable. You have a lot of background processes/programs running that should not be while gaming (any kind of intensive gaming). Disable them and see if you get better stability.

    Hmmm....

    I'd like to see this log report:

    <ul type="square">[*]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.

  5. Also, if the person 'stuck' in Pocket D has the Mission TP power, they can go into the hallway of Pocket D leading to the zone gates and fire it off there since there is no TP suppression field there.

    And if it isn't recharged, or they accidentally lost the charge by trying to TP where there is a suppression field, they can go to War Witch, who is a Trainer now, and switch to their second build to recharge it, then go into the hallway to use it. If they haven't created a second build, they can still use the Mission TPer on their second, unbuilt build without having to create a second build. Then, when they get back to Cimerora or RWZ, they can wait out the 15 minute cooldown on changing builds and see a trainer to go back to their main build.

    Is it me, or have the Power Icons for Rad infection and Enervating field mixed up? Rad does the -tohit and -defense but has a -dam icon on it, and EF does -dam and -damres and it has the -def/acc icon on it... its rather funny cuz I been playing this game since launch and I just now noticed... its probably been mentioned before I am sure.

    Soo, any plans to fix that?

    Vanden's Icon pack fixes it:

    Radiation Emission/Radiation Infection and Radiation Emission/Enervating Field icons swapped (they erroneously described each other's effects rather than their own)

  7. For future reference and linking, I put the bind info on the Wiki:

    What ever the reason, The downtime has always hurt CoX. Lots of people leave to other games because they are up more. Not to mention most game companies perform normal service routines at the time the largest player base isn't online. I have a had time believing Europe has more players then U.S. 8am CST is just the wrong time to bring this stuff down. suck it up like every other IT based company and do your service at 2am

    I play at that time, so, no... *you* suck it up.

    As I was looking for Nessy with my super jump in Croatoa I got trapped against some trees and noticed while I was trying to free myself that if you eventually pass through them. I ended up behind the geometry and was able to get out if I exerted the same kind of force in the opposite direction. The damage to my fragile perceptions and securities was already done, though...
    I looked at the non-existent horizon before me and realized that the world as I knew it was a sham and the only thing that I could count on to be real was me.
    Seems to me that the objects are not 100% sealed.

    It's the end of the world!

    I have not seen a logical reason to post CoH Helper or Hijackthis information for this issue. You'll just have to take my word for it that my OS is up to date and I don't have viruses or trojans interfering with my video card. I'm not an idiot when it comes to computers and I will not be made to look like one by someone who tries to point out one out-of-date driver. Post something useful or don't post at all.

    I agree completely. You should post something useful or don't post at all. This is a forum where you get help from other players. If you don't cooperate, you get no help.

    Go to Customer Support and tell them you won't run the diagnostics they ask you to run and they'll tell you there's nothing more they can do for you.

    Then you'll quit the game blaming everyone but yourself.
  11. I tried on my Dark/Dark Defender to go Stamina-less by slotting everything with EndRedux and maximizing +End +Recovery IO bonuses. Didn't work. Always running out of End.

    Switched to Stamina with Performance Shifter four slotted giving a 97% enhancement to Stamina plus the proc giving more End, and giving a 2.5% IO Recovery bonus. Then put Miracle +Recovery and Numina +Recovery in Health for another 25% Recovery. Plus with all the other little bonuses, I have over 100% +Recovery.

    Now, I can TP across a Shard Zone with all my toggles running without running out of End.

    The Dev's choice and hall-of-fame arcs give normal rewards, so therefore don't drop tickets. Instead, you get enhancements, salvage, and recipes.

    Hall of Fame gives Tickets. It was a common misconception, probably promulgated mostly by me ( ), but actual testing shows Hall of Fame gives Tickets.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    So...wait. I was wrong, because you were wrong?

    wow, that's probably not gonna happen again for a long, long time.

    I know, weird, huh?

    You missed this.

    And you'll get hits for a dozen Steampunk MMOs coming to market.

    Just a FYI.

    Why oh why isn't the crab backpack bug fixed? (In bane form it still shows)
    We pay for new costume pieces and stuff like this still isn't fixed? Where is that money going? Shouldn't some of that money go towards fixing costume bugs? So annoying.
    Oh, and fixing the patron plaques would be nice too.

    Get in line. They need to fix how the Ouroboros Portal interrupts zone Teleportation powers (Pocket D, Base, Mission, Market).
  18. FatherXmas's recommendations for settings should help a bit. Now, let's check the rest of your computer...

    Please post the result of this program:

  19. They should switch the flag from actually having a level 50 toon to the level 50 badge which can't be deleted and the system can always check is there.
  20. As I understand it, PvP attacks are now balanced around activation time. This should equalize attacks with regard to tier and with regard to source (primary, secondary, pool, temp).
