Bill Z Bubba

From everything I'm seeing on line, the dipthong ae is pronounce as a long a as in say, lay, clay. Which means I've been wrong about it for a long time.

Looks like the 10.7s might have cleared it all up. I have a 2 second burst of low FPS the first time I zone, but then alt-tabbing between full screens works like a champ. No dumbing down of settings needed.

Thanks, folks.

I like her voice. I would also like to play with her butt. But I don't think I'd use it like a keyboard.

Yea, let's remove the 5% chance to miss. Then the new softcap to defense will be 50% and my main will never get hit by anything.

I like this plan.

/sarcasm off.

Oh... yall only want this for players and not critters? Yea, I don't see that happening.

Neg, Mid, no changes from pre-i-17 to post-i-17. However, I haven't retested this since I installed the 10.7s and after THAT occurred I've made some tweaks.

Real life has suddenly taken an extremely busy turn toward the psychotic, so hopefully I'll be able to catch a breath this weekend and muck about on it.

I rather enjoy the concept of a regen boost being added to active defense and practiced brawler.

It won't ever happen, but I enjoy thinking about it.

Healix, running in Windowed mode may be a fix in and of itself, but I despise windowed mode. I alt-tab between two full screen instances.

Yea, I caught it. Was just bringing some levity in as I was coming here anyway to post my goal of unsticky. Once a thread gets too large, folks do stop reading them and begin repeating questions that were already covered and then we get what we got with the last few posts.

More reason to let this puppy go.

So I can make a new one after I-19!

Side note... I decided to drop the Shadow slider down some to Medium and put AO on Balanced... and I'm getting quite acceptable performance and no real loss of eyecandy. Even at 100% world detail and 1920X1200 resolution.

EDIT: So that everyone knows, I'm going to once again request that this thread be unstickied. It's woefully out of date and serves no purpose anymore.

Yea, the freaky blockiness is gone, but AA still doesn't look as clean with AO on as with AO off.

It does make the electricity cables look worse as shown below. Also, please note the HUGE FPS hit by enabling AO.

AO ON:


AO OFF:

I like inv so far on my em/inv brute. I would rather it have a passive HP buff like WP does but that's only because now I'll be "forced" to get enough recharge in the build to make DP permanent.

I've heard no such chatter. Considering that Inv got buffed not to long ago, I'm betting that the rumors are hogwash.

Really? You have to kneecap your rig in order for to play this game under linux? Wow. That sucks.

Negative. It became hard coded a while back. CHV will still only utilize 2 cores, however.

One can lower the particle count setting on their own computer to tone this effect down. That said, I rather doubt anyone would be all that upset if the devs toned it down a bit on their end so that people wouldn't have to lose all the pretty particle effects on everything else while they were trying to compensate for this particular power.

Well crud. Nothin?

Ok, if I figure it out I'll be sure to report the fix.

Hey yall,

Before I-17 hit, I could fire up two clients full screen at full settings and alt-tab between the two without issue.

After i-17, however, I can still do so, but there's a massive FPS drop that lasts around 15-20 seconds, maybe more, each time I bounce between the two instances. Now once I let it sit for that time period, I'm then back up to normal performance levels and can cruise along.

On rare occasions I can bounce between the two without issue when each character is on the same map.

Sometimes when the two are in different zones, the problem takes much longer to go away.

Win7 64bit
10.6 ATIs
5870 vid card
6GB RAM

I have attempted to use the maxinactivefps flag but it does nothing to help.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Video card now accurate.

I think Bill is up to around 3-4 billion.

EDIT: And he's not getting touched again until after I-19 go live.

I wouldn't keep trying to play it if I thought it had no hope of being fun. So far, dp/storm is working for me. DP/Rad was also working well for me but I already had a /rad and didn't want to repeat on my Cor combos.
