Quote:There is not enough information here to help you. Did you just download the Test server from the COH website or did you copy over your files from the main game after adding the "-test" to the end of your updater shortcut? What are you doing while it's "not letting it work". Also, when does it say target not valid? Does it only say this when you click on the test server shortcut on your desktop or does it do that after the updater updates, or maybe during an update? Please give us a better description of the problem so we can try to better understand how to help you.Originally Posted by Mad_Cow_Milk
Hello everyone,
Maybe you can help? I use windows 7 on my laptop, and things are not letting it work. It keeps saying target is not valid.
Thanks!
If it is the shortcut target that is invalid, please do the following:
1.Right Click on the Test Server shortcut and click Properties.
2. Highlight and Copy the entire Target line and paste it here.
You might just have a character or two out of place in the target. Try this and we will see what we can do. -

I just realized there are two ways to interpret "they expected us".
1. "I expect you to clean your room."
2. "I expect you to sleep till noon."
In case 1 it is what the authority figure wants you to do while in case 2 they are acknowledging you will do it if not stopped.
I meant #2 version of they expected us to try to store things in email.

Level pacted? sometimes you get that "you will not gain XP until your partner catches up" thing.
I'm sorry, but I don't really know either. This sounds like a job for Super Tech Support! -

I recently got a new PC, and opted to get the GTX 275 vidcard. I tried downloading the game twice, and both times, when I get past the login, an error message pops up saying my card is not capable of playing. Yet I could have sworn I saw a post with pics in Ultramode from a similar card.
Anyways, babbling aside, Is this a problem unique to me? Maybe try downloading it again? Or is this a common problem with GTX 275's?
The GTX 275 is way more than capable of playing CoH. What are the rest of your system specs? Do you have the latest drivers from Nvidia? Maybe a CoH Helper would be useful? Let us know this info and maybe we can help!

Quote:Awesome! Thanks for the heads up! Does this also mean less or no random map serves? That would always be a plusOriginally Posted by Ghost Falcon
The issue has been resolved. We're going to continue monitoring, but we do not anticipate further problems.

What just happened???? Does anyone know?
Edit: Well they came back up last night, but I wonder what happened. I was on the last person I had to beat for a mish and I got map served. Then I look and the list you see above was what I saw. Now everything seems to be fine, but we also got map served randomly another time last night just standing in Atlas Park. FYI I was on Virtue. From what I've heard Virtue has been a problem lately. Maybe they were fixing something? I don't know. Oh well! -

The issue is on the bug list, hopefully at the top. I will try on Bootcamp tonight if I have time. I wonder if the graphics performance will vary from Windows to OS X. I guess this will be a good test. Thanks for the quick response!

Hello everyone! This is my first time in the Mac Client forums, although not my first on the forums. I just got my brand spanking new 17" Macbook Pro last Friday. Here are the specs:
i5 2.53Ghz
4 GB of RAM
500 GB 5400RPM HDD (I am upgrading to 7200 tomorrow. I can't stand how slow it is.)
Nvidia GT 330M w/ 512MB of memory
Snow Leopard 10.6.3
Now running around Atlas Park I get a good 25fps at the native 1900x1200 resolution with these settings:
Physx: High
Particle Count: 40000
Character Detail: 100
World Detail: 100
FSAA: x4
Shadow Quality: High
Water Quality: High
Refelctions: High
Ambient Occlusion: Off (I knew better)
I could probably lower the resolution and get better fps, but I haven't messed with it too much yet and I'm pretty happy with how it looks. Plus in instance missions it's a lot faster. The problem I've been having is the random crashing. I know a lot of you if not all of you are having problems with this on the Mac Client. I've pretty much decided to install COH on my Bootcamp partition and just say forget it because I never had these problems with my desktop.
Here are some examples of crashing:
I log into Atlas Park and run around in zone for about 20 mins. I decided to check out my new SG's base. I zone in. Everything is great until I turn my toon around. Instantly I'm going about 1 fps average and then suddenly I see my OS X desktop. So I just think that I'll lower my settings before I try that again. Then my friend logs in so I decided to play the new i17 missions with him since I haven't got a chance to yet. We play all of them and finish the last mish to where the movie starts by the portal. Then, without any frame rate drop or any warning whatsoever, I'm suddenly back on the OS X desktop. that was a huge joy kill right there. I had never done this mish and then it crashes on the resolution of the story! Ugh! lol.
Is there anything that I should try to do to make it work better? From what Zombie Man said it seems that /reloadgfx doesn't work anymore. Plus I don't want to have to remember to do that every few mins anyways. Since I didn't have these problems in Windows it seems the best solution is to use Windows through Bootcamp... (I know blasphemy right?)
If anyone has a better solution that maybe I haven't seen please list it for me. I hope maybe I didn't miss anything while searching.
Offtopic:
On a lighter note, I do have to say that this thing can handle graphics very well in Bootcamp. I ran the game Just Cause 2, which is a DirectX 10 game, and I ran it at 1900x1200 res with good frame rates. I did have to turn all the options down in it though. I'm going to try it tonight with a lower resolution and see what I come up with. Hopefully I can turn some of the options back up in lower resolutions. Just thought I would throw that out there. Can't wait to try some more games on it! What kind of games do you all play on your new MBP's? -
Welcome! Hope your stay here is comfortable!

Those arcs are terrible. I hope you've improved, or GR is going to suck.

Quote:Ha! I do this as well! I tanked with my DP/Psi blaster recently! I actually didn't do too bad till bubbles wore off!Originally Posted by TwilightPhoenix
One thing I constantly do: if nobody is the designated tank, I will not shy away from running in and grabbing the alpha. This includes toons who cannot tank anything. I've died a lot as a result and it's joked about with my friends sometimes. On the bright side, it makes someone more capable rush in ahead of me to do the tanking so I stop getting killed so much. Then instant death lol. After that I died so much, I think I dies before I was rezed

Quote:Just an FYI to you Mystic, those posts you were referring to were posted back in March. No one has posted in this thread since then until just recently.

Quote:If you read the original post by Avatea, they explain that the CC comes with COH/COV and is good for new players because of this, but the prepurchase or the standalone expansion are just the expansion and do not include COH/COV. So the advantage of CC over the standalone or prepurchase option is simply this: If you are a new player and don't want to have to buy COH and GR separately then this is very economical. Also, if you are a current player and want the month of game time included and don't want to prepurchase then it would also be a good option. Hope this helps!Originally Posted by Lord_Kalistoh
So, if we buy the Complete Collection (29.99) we pay more than if we prepurchase now and the iems then (19.99 + 5.99 = 25.98)???

Quote:Welcome to the game! The others were right. You don't have to download the client again. It is identical to the normal client. All you have to do is apply your bought serial to your trial account. Once you do this within minutes, if not instantly, you should be able to log in to the live servers without your trial account restrictions. Also, like stated above, if you ever reinstall your client, items like graphic options since these need to be specific per computer, will not be transferred over, but all character data is stored online with your account information. You will never have to worry about losing your characters thanks to that.Originally Posted by Heather Ivercourt
My friend got me into the game and I downloaded the trial version. I upgraded and became a member a few days ago. Bought the game online. It asked if I wanted to DL the PC client. Do I need to uninstall the trial version that I've already got and DL the other one? And if I do...will I lose anything I've done? Is there a difference between the DL version and the other...other then the being able to level and all the perks of being a member.
Thanks in advance
Again, welcome to the game and I hope you enjoy your stay!

Quote:...The prepatch on live was around 800MB... You are reading how much the total game file size is sir. 2.8GB is the size of the game files on live and 3.1GB is the size on test. You realize that if you downloaded that much you would be downloading the whole game right? Just letting you know...Originally Posted by D4nnYb0Y
Not that it's relevant anymore, but the Test Client patch was 3.1G whilst the Live prepatch was 2.8G, for me at least.

Baby of Chuck Norris lol! Just sayin... -

it goes over the whole game files when it installs the patch...the actual patch was so small u probly didn't notice it get downloaded first

Quote:2.80 Gigabytes!? GREAT SCOTT MARTY!Originally Posted by D4nnYb0Y
So was the 2.8G patch released today the prepatch?
Had too make the reference lol sorry... Anyway, are you talking about the EU test servers, or the US test servers? Or is this a pre-patch for live? I am at work and can't check here. -

Or they decided to release it on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday.
How hard can the concept of choice be for some people? Seriously?

Quote:Changing a game so that textures that couldn't before can now reflect, changing water that looked like a large blue nasty living creature into a pond that "looks' like real water, and adding shadows that make the city look alive are obviously not hard to make and test. On top of all that it breaks a lot of preexisting items that were not broke before, but that should be totally easy to fix right? I guess they need to fire the dev team and get a new team in there, and since we could all do it better... How about all of us? (Anyone catch the sarcasm? I hope so!)Originally Posted by Tenzhi
When they say this is going to be available in April, do they mean April 2011? If not, they seem to be dragging their feet. Someone should crack a flaming whip at them and tell them to get a move on.
Anyway today is April 5th. They said DS would come out in April. That leaves us 4 more Tuesdays for it to come out. So four more weeks, technically a month until they HAVE to release it or in turn receive many angry GR PRE-PURCHASE customers, or at least ones that wanted DS in April. No one has any right to get mad until it DOES NOT come out in April. Lighten up people! There is obviously a lot to test or it wouldn't be taking this long. I want all this released too, but I'm not yelling hate at anyone until they start breaking promises, which they aren't doing.
Keep in mind just cause DP was released March 2nd doesn't mean they "owe you" to have it out April 2nd... That was just when it came out. It has nothing to do with when anything else will come out. -

Quote:I understand the "want", but I am just insinuating that it is not a "need"... Like I said it was just a suggestion. If people want to see OB sooner they should not try to connect to the training rooms at this time is all I'm suggesting. I'm glad you understand where most will just be like "Shut up! I want my shiny new toy now!" Oh well. I tried at leastOriginally Posted by D4nnYb0Y
Many people not in CB are updating their clients in preparation for OB. If that's negatively impacting the servers and thus the players in CB well... I doubt you're going to get much sympathy from the people that weren't lucky enough to get in. I understand that that will probably just make the CB take longer, and thus push OB farther away, I'm just saying.

New update added about the server situation on the first post...
