It's also a fresh install of XP and I reformatted the entire drive first.

That all starts up every time you start up your computer and it's there running in the background while you use a very resource intensive game. And I didn't even get into the necessity of having a dozen keyboard drivers running. -

Am I going crazy or did I really see in the FAQs that it is going to be an open beta?
[/ QUOTE ]
That was a cheeky answer. One they give often. Because all issues/expansions have open beta. But that doesn't preclude a closed beta first. And being most likely a pay-for expansion, they'll probably be closed beta for pre-orders before the final open beta.

I am curious to who the Banner artist is. They are quite good!
[/ QUOTE ]
They have 3 conceptual artists:
Carolina Tello Alvarado
Nate Van [censored]
David Nakayama
And two environmental artists:
Ryan Roth
Don Pham
Of course, a lot of character design is done by JayLove who has a new unnamed costuming partner.
So... don't know. But it's one of the above, or, more likely, group project going back and forth between artists' sketches, programming, modeling, and back to the artists for the 2D render.

It's not necessarily a sound loop locking things up, but more likely a lock-up causing a sound loop.

You've updated the graphics card, but the Operating System is a mess.
Forget about selectively weeding out aggressive background programs, back up your data, reformat your hard drive and reinstall your programs and data.
As you do so, keep running HijackThis to keep an eye on what programs are putting themselves in the registry to keep themselves active and controlling. Don't let them. Right now, more than half your memory is being eaten up by all these aggressive programs, add in over 1 Gig of memory that CoH uses, and you're back to using the hard drive as virtual memory... no wonder you're slowed down to a crawl.
That CPU plus graphics card plus RAM should allow for medium level graphics at a good fps -- provided CoH is the only program running at the time. -
1. Reboot. If that doesn't help..
2. Delete checksum.coh from City of Heroes directory. Reboot and let the updater reverify.

Are you sure you're using Team Teleport and not just Teleport?
Are you sure the people are on your Team. It only TPs teammates, not other players who are not on your team. -
In the Keymapping Window, the command for "Start Chat (Include Keypress)" has been set to forward slash and semicolon. However, both open up chat with a forward slash. And even if I change the keys to any other key, it still opens with a forward slash.
So, yeah, they broke the command "Start Chat Include Keypress" by replacing it with /slashchat. -

BigSung. Your problem is that your video card is bottom of the line. It's really not suitable for this game except on the very lowest graphics settings. This latest update through the Magic pack added several intense graphical features in the form of the new costumes and powers. Odds are that your card is simply being pushed beyond it's limit.
And even if the card can still play in minimal graphics mode your drivers for it are 3 years out of date which makes a big difference.
[/ QUOTE ]
I noticed the issue on the driver, so I have gone and updated that one with the latest. As for video card, I might have to look into a new one. Any video card that you recommend that doesn't cost an arm and leg?
[/ QUOTE ]
While you're waiting for a graphics card which can handle 3D gaming: update Windows; update your graphics card driver; get rid of all those background processes (Yahoo, roxio, java, etc...). -

The new "Captured (Energy Field)" animation is almost exactly the same as it was before, minus the large rays of psychic energy emanating from Penelope Yin. If you're seeings something radically different and wouldn't mind posting a screenshot, it might help me track down what's going on.
It's actually an effect for a Rikti 'containment field'. If I remember the mission correctly, they had captured Penelope Yin and were using her as a psychic battery to open a portal to their homeworld.
[/ QUOTE ]
Speaking of Ms. Yin, whatever happened to the "destroy the psychochrometron" animation at the end of the Agent G's arc? Instead of that happening, Penny just runs for the nearest door. -

I don't know how to make in-game GUI font changes for CoX on a Mac; chances are that, if it's possible, you will want to obtain fonts in the Open-Type Font (*.otf) format. Until my dying breath, I will, however, speak up against the use of Comic Sans as a legitimate comic-book-style font for this or any other interface It's entirely overused these days, and it's butt-ugly and ill-proportioned, as comic-book lettering fonts go.
There are quite a number of much more attractive and realistic comic-book fonts out there, which are free to the public. The Komika font series comes to mind. It's free to download, install, and use; it's available in a multitude of varying proportions and styles, including full-caps, small-caps, and mixed-case; Komika possesses a 'full' character set, including all standard punctuation & most European accented characters; and the letter forms and kerning are all top-notch (much moreso than pitiful, pathetic Comic Sans).
I implemented Komika yesterday evening on my CoX installation as the default GUI font, and it looks great! Even at smaller font sizes (e.g., the numeric enhancement labels), Komika is easily legible. I find it an acceptable replacement for the Montreal font as the CoX GUI typeface. Additionally, its use lends more of a comic-book feel to the game interface.

Capital I and lower case L are indistinguishable: FAIl. -
When the AE server is down, the main server doesn't recognize the fact that you've unlocked stuff because it can't confirm it with the AE server. When the AE server comes back up, it should all right itself. If it doesn't right itself, the attempt to repurchase an unlockable usually reestablishes a firm handshake and straightens everything out.

The "hear opposite faction messages" has defaulted to "yes, hear them" for ages now.
[/ QUOTE ]
Just restarted the game, logged in as a brand new hero and these are the settings I see:
<ul type="square">Show Villain Private Chat: Disabled
Show Villain Broadcast Chat: Disabled.
Hide Villain Local Chat: Disabled.[/list]
So, if I got my single and double negatives right, the default allows you to 'hear' only the /local chat of the other faction while the /broadcast and private /tells from the other faction are disabled.
Since I believe the GMs chat in private /tells, then if they don't change the default, they won't be able to hear villains /tell back to them (since they usually log on as heroic police drones).
The lesson is to hope the GM is actually next to you and use /local if that happens. -
When you change the setting in game, hit apply. Then exit to log in screen, then exit the game. Then re-log and it should work. If it doesn't, try setting it outside the game with:
Tweak CoH -
Let's say your login name is 'SupaPlayer' and CoH is in the directory C:/Programs/City of Heroes.
Go to C:/Programs/City of Heroes/SupaPlayer/ and delete the file playerslot.txt if it exists and see if that fixes it.
If that file doesn't exist, then I don't know what's the problem and it would be best to contact Customer Support.
