OK, I have tried everything. Changed the compatibility settings to XP (Both COHUpdater and CityofHeroes.exe). I tried clicking off the desktop checkbox I saw recommended in another thread. I updated the drivers, I believe.
the problem i that I cannot get through the Area Login screen (I actually did get through twice, but that was random).
When I login, the initial user name screen takes longer. I am then able to select a server and character. Then, it slowly opens up the area login screen and I never get past this, timing out after a few minutes back to the login screen. the bar at the bottom maybe gets 25% through. The reason I think this is a connection issue is I did a new download and reinstall of the software, I lost connection many of times during this data download. It seems that this is the problem when I am trying to load through the area screen.
Any thoughts?
