    Any idea how to fix this?
    I'm on the European server
    this has suddenly happened to me as well.

    Having been on COH for 7 years now, please dont ask if my shortcut is correct, and what files ive deleted or not. etc....

    Any one got a fix ? Devs or tech support ?
  2. I am afraid it has done the complete opposite to me Arctic_princess, I have had none of these issues, until today. Was playing fine on monday, and now getting the .prv problem.
    Cant get on either live or test.

    If I download the 'new' eu updater and try to run it I get told it is not a valid win32 application.

    Think i'll just head off to Fallen Earth and kill a few mutants until this is properly sorted out, by the owning company not by gifted and enthusiatic players having to come up with innovative work arounds.
  3. well, 66 month badge for me. Started playing on the US servers, then europe beta and been here ever since. Tried lots of other MMORPG's Eve, DA of Camelot, EQ, Warhammer, Guild Wars even Champions online ( and that was pants ). Currently having great fun on Fallen Earth, but always come back to COX.

    what no alcohol, tea, coffee, chocolate, chilli, neurofen, iboprofen, etc
  5. well just to throw a spanner in the works, i'm with virgin and have no problems at all. So maybe it's you and not your providor ?
  6. to the best MM there is, Happy B'Day
  7. it's been doing that for a while.

    To check rewards go to the US site, their link works fine.
  8. My name is not blue_peter, it's Adrian.

    I bought COH when on holiday in the USA in 2004.

    I played US side, Europe Beta and Europe from day 1

    I have tried maybe a dozen different MMORPG's, and only COX
    'floats my boat'

    I have COH t-shirts, mousemat, heroclix figures and CCG. ( but did say no to the beannie hat )

    I need to buy some more alt slots as I have run out of slots, but not ideas.

    And surprise surprise, I AM STAYING.

    There are others that have happened over the years too such as the Rikti mothership attack from beta, the Rularuu invasions of Issue 2 and the Council vs 5th Column street battles of Issue 3 spring to mind.

    The Rularuu invasions, oh do I remember them. Just started playing COH, a real noob, oh whats that funny eye floaty thing in the middle of the street ? Zap dead, faceplant.
    That would be brilliant to see again
  10. May you have your cake and eat it COH. Happy birthday

    Just more proof that they quit caring about the story in this game a long long time ago...

    Or maybe that the playerbase is so stupid and eager to moan that they didn't just fail to realise that a total immersion VR environment would be a revolution in troop training, and one of the greatest tools available to Vanguard thanks to it, but that the initial in-universe explanation for the Mission Architect specifically pointed out Positrons interest in the technology as a training simulator. Obviously it doesn't make any sense at all that Vanguard would have an interest in flawlessly realistic but non-fatal training available for their soldiers.

    That is an image I would rather not think about
  13. dont worry, the whole day jobs is bugged, just wait for I14 to sort it out
  14. now now FFM, you are expecting the rest of the world to be as up to date as us who live in geek county. Be charitable at this time of year.
  15. Just tested with one of my toons, and agree that the animation is borked by stacked powers.
  16. give up on the toon, consign it to the dustbin of history.
    ( feeling negative just right now )
    To be honest i just use mine to assist lower level peeps who need help. not interested in badge hunting, or the shadow shards, or ouroboros. But perfectly happy to exemp to help a lvl 'X' who is new to the game. what does it matter if i die, it does not.
    But the real problem is, no matter what I do my alt does not progress, does not grow, they remain static, stuck in an ever changing environment. Time to explore champions online I think
  17. running Vista 64 bit SP1 with no problems at all. No need for the compatablecursor command, running the latest nvidia drivers, no graphical issues at all. Guess I am just lucky
  18. Remember that there was a City of Heroes CCG produced a while back. If anyone out there is still playing/collecting just to let you know I am getting rid of my cards and if you want them there yours. If you just want a few to complete a collection, happy to post them to you gratis. If you want all 1000 ( estimate ) you will either have to collect or pay postage. Just drop me a line if there is any interest, if not they will get recycled next week.
  19. grinning spade, spot on mate. Patch notes are in the training room area and it is basically fixes to the self destruct.

  21. Just had a very quick patch this morning, only a few seconds of download. As I was playing last night, it must be new. Any ideas anyone, or as usual have I missed something
  22. Have fun with whatever you choose to do now.

    Bye
  23. Biomass is in PD, waiting and ready to go.
