I got divorced. That seems to be working alright.

Happy Day-After-Christmas!

Welcome to the barrel of monkeys; I hope you like it here.

I read the title, the poster, and was genuinely scared for a second...

I would be interested if you were fighting the Heroes. I guess sign me up for that if it happens.

These are awesome. I would never stop buying them.

Im running Windows XP and I am the only account on the computer.

Plenty of hard drive space; 12 GB plus the game is already installed.

I use Norton and it at least tells me it is up to date and there are no viruses.

Not sure when the last time a checkdisk or scandisk ran, probably a few weeks ago.

Renaming the sound.pigg file will be the next thing I try.

Tried reinstalling the whole client last night and woke up to about 800 MB downloaded, and a failed checksum on, guess what? sound.pigg! I just installed the client from my CoV DVD over what had downloaded and the updater is currently updating, but I'm not holding my breath.

After today's patch, I got an error after the downloading phase; It gave an error with the file sound.pigg. Updater closed itself, and I restarted it to get the same issue. Deleted the checksum file, and retried, to get the same issue. Deleted the sounds.pigg file and re-deleted the checksum file and tried again. Updater checksums and then stops at the "downloading file manifest" part, and after several minutes crashes. Tried installing a new instance of the program, checksumed, same pause, then several minutes later the program crashed.

The updater says "Fixing files: piggs/sound.pigg" and that there are several hundred thousand hours remaining, the progress bar never moves, and then after several minutes the updater crashes.

My bag of tricks in reference to the updater is empty. Anyone have ideas?

Went off perfectly. Thank you to those who came! Will try to run more at another time.

Didn't know about the change on test, removing nukes form CoP trials, when I posted earlier. I'd like to push this up to THIS Sunday night, Sep 19. Lets say, forming up at around 8:30pm, starting by 10pm (EST). I'm going to change the side from Villains to Heroes, and plead that someone allow their base to host, as my Hero base can not.

My villain base is capable of hosting the trial, and I don't mind inviting people to the group for the purpose of the trial, or forming coalitions (if that works). The only part is I do not actually know how to LEAD the trial, or form teams, so I would be a figurehead providing a base at best. Anyone want to give this an official try? I would like to try next Friday night, Sep 24th (Saturday Sep 25th as a backup). Sign up here (global handle appreciated), or show up, or whatever.

Again; Villain base; Will need help help forming teams; Help leading the trial; About 23 other people to give me a hand. Buff/debuff characters or nukes and shivans appreciated.

I could not make it, and my Hero wouldn't have been able to go into a villain base anyway (or that's what they tell me). I seem have an iron in the fire, but I'm also open to multiple attempts.

How about an attempt next weekend? I would prefer Saturday night, after 7pm. I wouldn't mind throwing in a Hami and Ship Raid in as well. It might actually help people grab an HVAS first if they want to come to CoP.

Failed attempt tonight. Because of one understandable problem, and people being sheep. Open for options; I still have nukes and Shivans/HVAS ready.

If the CoP I'm trying to get in on tonight falls through, could I join this one with my Vigilante Scrapper? Or is it Villains only?

Edit: Never mind, I understand how it works now.

Whew, flame war is over and I can post again. =P Like Pum said, at least the thread is still here, and on page one.

There's apparently a CoP going down Friday night at 9pm from the Channel of Pain that I'm going to try and get in on; I spent this week getting shivans and nukes for it, and hopefully I can show up early to get a spot. Depending how it goes I'd gladly run it more with another debuffing character, or stone tank. I have NEVER done this before, and a position of leadership for me, beyond a regular task force, is generally a bad idea anyway. But I'd love to do the triple threat idea, just need to know a day. Saturday or Sunday night for this weekend? It's sort of short notice already.

I don't have a SG capable of running the CoP trial, and I'd really like to run it for the badge and new content. Anyone want to sign up to try and do this? Best time for me is Saturdays after 7, and Sundays. I want the badge on my scrapper, but could eventually bring a radiation defender or dark corrupter.

I'd love some two handed mace/axe/broadsword attacks, though shield powers might make that a problem.

I found Sally flopping around on dry land today, on the island in the middle of the lake. I'm concerned that she might hurt herself on dry land, and think that we should all do what we can to keep Sally safe in the lake where she belongs.

Closed CoH completely and restarted it, problem appears gone.

My characters on the LogIn screen appear slightly to the right of the blue/red disk they are supposed to be standing on, like so: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ogInScreen.jpg
If it seems important, this started just after I bought a single new character slot, that was also the last slot I could put on the same server.

I'm going to try and run the new Positron TF, first and second parts hopefully, tonight when I get home from work at midnight Eastern time. Sign up here, or send me an in-game global message (@Armless Dan) to let me know you're interested.

There's a Tick, an Atomic Robo and a Simpsons this year. I hope my local comic shop owner remembers how many hundred dollars worth of Warhammer junk I ordered from him this last year, and tosses more than one at me. =3
