Hello all, just got back from having my tea and had this in my inbox. I'm off to try it, but just in case I don't see you all again, good luck and cya in the next zone
Hello,
Thanks for providing us with the Game Advisor. Please disable all startup items to make sure that no background programs or processes are causing a conflict. To do this, please perform the following:
1. Press and hold the Windows key and then hit the R key. This should bring up the Run dialog box.
2. Type "MSCONFIG" without the quotes, and click "OK." This should open the System Configuration Utility.
3. Go to the "Startup" tab and click the "Disable All" button.
4. Next go to "Services" tab and check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" check box, then click the "Disable All" button.
5. Once these items are all disabled, click the "OK" button and you will get a prompt to restart your computer. Please restart your computer.
Once Windows is back up, do not start any other programs and then try the game again. Please let us know if this helps.
Regards, -
Quote:Hi Stargazer, I can see where your coming from, but there is one nagging question at the back of my brain....Originally Posted by Stargazer
Well, that depends on what they asked you to run. For instance there's a CoH-specific diagnostic tool that gives information that is different from what dxdiag gives. If, on the other hand, they asked you to run another dxdiag, well, then that'd obviously be the same information.
It seems clear that 3rd party programs/services (like the ATI hotkey poller) can cause this issue. Has anyone tried to see if closing other 3rd party programs/services can also help get rid of the problem?
It might be worth trying to turn off pretty much any other programs running at the time, including browsers, media players, IM clients, antivirus programs, automatic updaters, quick launchers ... (pretty much anything that puts itself in your system tray) and see if that makes any difference.
If nothing else, it could help ruling out some potential causes.
WHY!!!!
This game was working fine before i17 now it's broken. Many of us have offered to help. I have been at my comp most of the day, my post count has gone up something rediculous, just waiting in case I can help in any way. I know the tech guys can even take over my computer remotely if I give them permission to see exactly what happens in game if they want.
No email, no replies in any threads, no information about whats going on, that's what the problem is.
I am not about to go stomping around my computer disabeling this that and the other aimlessly till we find out whats happening.
So far I know...its no the connection and its happening to me on the NA and EU servers. It's not my drivers, I even removed them and reintalled them from nvidias own website last night.
The only differance to me is i17. I did encounter this on test to, and /bugged it then, responded in the closed thread on it and started a thread in the open beta thread. With them not taking it seriously I assumed it was just down to something they were doing on test. Bit here we are on live, same problem, same unplayability, same unhappiness
, same not playing , same having paid for something I can't use
Well there we go, there you have it. -
Hello Riverdancer, still no reply to me as well, doing my best but have been on and off since 8am BST and still no fix for it. It's still a Clear and Present Problem on the EU and NA servers to me, did a quick test this morning.
Issue 17:The Dark Mirror Broken (thats 7 years bad luck for them) -

Just a thank you for your quick response time and hard work trying to resolve these issues. I still have a ticket in and have not found a fix yet, but I know with your help I will. Again thanks. You are all doing a great job!!!
And I have also had a ticket in for some time. I have the problem on the EU and NA servers (I play on both) and this problem was not present before the publish of i17, as I was playing 30 mins before the servers went down to publish. I have a ticket in since trying to play since around 8pm BST last night. I have had a few reponses, and have sent them premtive info like dxdiag files etc.
An update on what going on from a tech redname would be a start to be honest.
Standing by ready to help in any way I can. -

Restart the game... that's the only thing that worked for me.

I'm with you on this Stefanie, I stopped my reoccuring billing before I forgot, it's always easy to start it up again. I just want to play, like I was not 30mins before they took the servers down for i17. Its just so worrying. Till then I can't play, so I have a total of about 4 months paid for already between my 2 accounts that I can do nothing with. This is what they have given me, an unplayable game.
Having this ongoing since closed beta, and all the other stuff that's been happening to it is a real worry. -
Just an update on this thread from me...well not as the case may be.
Still waiting to see if this has beem fixed, moved posting to the sticky thread now. Getting more and more annoyed as the day progressess.
Absolutely nothing to do at the moment had totally cleared 3 days for i17 and done stuff I would normally earlier in the week.
Cancelled reocurring billing till matter resolved to
Hope problems resolved soon. -

What about the +RCH? :O That's what I love it for more than anything.
We have all seen fire/kins, could you imagine how a melee orientated pet set (Nin or DS) and kinetics would fit together. Super speeding pets, transferance, transfusion, Fulcrum Shift. Well you may get the idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Kinetics for MM's, but on blance it may make it a bit tooo good. -
Can someone please let us know what is going on.
Can you replicate the problen, do you need anymore info. I am here to help if you want and you can even get me on instant messenger if you want, let me know i'll give you the details to contact me...anything.
As it stands, went on this morning, and still the same problems. As it stands, I have cancelled the repeat billing on both of my accounts ( a 12 monther is due in may) till It is resloved, as I have already paid for something that I cannot use, and on disability benefits totaling £120 a week this is an essential luxery that I use a lot, as I don't get out much, but I don't want to pay for again for 12 moths of non useage, as I am now on day 2 of not been able to use for me and it not been my choice or fault. -
I have done all that again now I have got up (it looks the same info that I sent using the dxdiag last night), but I did send that to them last night (for me) after they had directed me to the ATI fix after I had stated I had a nvidia card and also directed me to the thread that I was posting in.
I have heard nothing since then, I can only assume it must have been hometime, and will in all likelyhood not hear anything for a few more hours yet.
It would be interesting to know exactly how many in the player base are effected by this and other little gems that were pointed out on test and made it to live. At least this gives me the opportunity to go out into the realword and porchase some binoculars so I can read the level of the enhancements in my enhancement window
-
Good idea, in anticipation I think I will email them one to, its gone 1am here now and I have had enough and am off to bed. What was supposed to be a fun evening has been ruined really and I don't think it's just the few of us here either.
Hopefully it will resolve itself for tomorrow, but I will not be holding my breath at all.

I did not have ultra mode on, although it says I can I don't trust it enough yets to say yes, as I only have a 8600GTS.

Thats annoying to, I have a bit of a disability, which means I can't work anymore, but this game helps keep my mind at least a bit active, and I've learnt to chat type quite fast. The chat window feels like one of those old word processors that I remember at school that couldnt keep up and the words were in the buffer waiting to come out....whuch they do,
It was ammusing at first...the first five seconds and reminded me of that...after that I though, crap, can't even type in channels and say sorry cant come do that posi or new arc with you now to my globals properly, took 2 mins just to wait for the line to come out. -

No lag here just the controls dont feel the same kinda like im floating everywhere and I continues shortly after letting go of my movement keys.
Well I hope you get the idea, and don't try to do anything else.
Well that about sums it all up really, I'm sure i17 is really great, but considering I was playing fine the past 4 and a half years...apart from one hicup on a few alts with the /sync problem...that only effected 1 or 5 alts,fine for someone with 2 accounts, 1 in the EU and 1 in the NA and over 100 alts at that time to having probably over 200 now, 5% loss of access to characters, heck even 50% loss of characters, at that point would of been flippin annoying and I would have been, it would not have stopped me playing the issue.
This on the otherhand effects both my accounts AND all of my characters, it's not server or character specific...it's TOTAL.
Happy Anniversary, my ex wifes more fun than this

Try logging a 20+ villain in first, then log out and try again

Now i'm even more worried, I stated I had an nvidia 8600GTS in my email to them and got this this time:
"Thank you for contacting the City of Heroes Support Team. You can find specific information related to your question at the below link.
Answer Title: City of Heroes input lag with ATI video cards.
Answer Link: http://help.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/ncsof...p?p_faqid=7804
You might also want to refer to the following link to the City of Heroes official forums in regards to video lag:

The link is to the ATI card help, which I already told them I didn't have, and the forum link is...to here
Happy Anniversary, the ex wife is more fun than this

It appears they were told of many of the game enhancing features that they thought were brilliant a few in the playerbase thought the opposite. The small numbers on enhancements was one of them...it made it to live. If you look at the forums I see a lot of negativity gaining ground at the moment. You would think that something would be done by now, a roll back of some of the features that may be causing it. (Ultra Mode maybe)
Happy Anniversary

I got a reply to, it contained the following line:
"I am escalating your petition to a Senior Customer Support Representative to further assist you. Please be aware, however, that there may be a delay in reviewing the issue, based on ticket volume at the time your ticket was submitted."
Which has me more than worried to be honest, especially if this is a large tech issue.
I have checked all my vid card drivers, unintalled and reinstalled, they all worked fine before i17, heck I was even all over the shard no problems on sunday, and have done 3 or 4 itfs alone in the last few days to let alone other TF's. I play 8 hours a day minimum at the moment. I know my computer worked fine pre i17, so something in i17 is the cause of the problem, not my system, or anyone else whose systems worked fine pre i17.
Anyway I'm going to stop there, working myself up a bit so stopping typing, and hoping that this is fixed soon.

Also posted on a few threads, and yes this was reported in closed and open, some could fix it, for others we had no reply and the thread ended.
Game Status: Unplayable
Player Status: Bloomin well annoyed to heck
Reason: Reported and nothing done in closed and open
I love this game with a passion, but am more than annoyed now -
Yes, as I feared, Issue 17 and the input delay problem I experiance in Closed and Open has carried over to live
Early night or cancel subs or go look at Aion after seeing ElectroHawks forum avatar, what to do ?? -
Look in the Open Beta chat and discussion, and there was a big thread in the closed beta boards about this to....just going on now myself....I have a feeling I may be having an early night

Quote:Well you could go staminaless, in it put the miracle, numinas and regen proc in it to, go the whole hog, as the work for 120 seconds after the powers stops, there u go...concept realisedOriginally Posted by Jade_Dragon
I did this.
Of course, Rest had a MUCH longer recharge back then than it does now, and I built my concept around it, my character wasn't actually Resting, he had to stop to draw energy out of the air around him to recharge his "batteries" after every combat.
The problem was, while I could get the recharge down, the amount of time the power actually took to work could not be changed. The End rate cannot really be enhanced, it's already close to the cap, and the HP regen rate caps with only one Heal Enhancement. And the cast time was a significant part of the time as well. When the Recharge ended up being reduced to about where I had it from slotting, I gave up on the concept.
I currently keep one Recharge and one Heal in it, which is probably one more slot than everyone else uses.
