  1. I have tried Mission Architect for the first time and whatever option I choose (Back/Front/Any), the boss of my mission is right in front of you when you spawn, what am I doing wrong?

    I am using Lucky Six Casino as a venue, I have Defeat All Enemies/Defeat Boss/Release Captive as mission goals and my own created enemy set. I was thinking you'd be able to put the mobs and bosses where you wanted (e.g. two minions with a lieutenant, one minion and one lieutenant guarding the captive, boss at back of room with three minion guards etc.), but the mission seems to do it itself.

    No lieutenants on the map, minions randomly spaced out and the boss (who is kind of the point of the mission) right at the entrance roaming back and forth.

    Any tips?
  2. Now I downloaded the drivers from nVIDIA, and it say there aren't drivers compatible with my current hardware.

    I'm at a loss, do I need to remove the drivers for the built in GFX card or something? But surely nVIDIA could see and overwrite them anyway?
  3. Am nearing a nervous breakdown.

    Went and bought this: http://www.inno3d.com/products/graph...500gt_ddr2.htm

    (Inno3D GeForce 9500 1GB HDCP DDR2 PCI-E)

    Have done the physical installation and then when I run the installation disc it offers no installation for Vista 32-bit, even though it should be compatible with it and has installations for Vista 64, Vista 86 and XP/2000.

    I got the driver pack from Guru3D for Vista 32 and when I run it, it claims I don't have Vista 32 and won't install when I know full well that I do.

    Any advice before I throw CoH and the PC out the window, lol?

    Would these be sufficient/compatible?

    Is a sensible price and 9400 is pretty good, right? Which is better?
  5. Figured out the physical installation part but I'm thinking it is AGP as it won't fit into where it should, meaning I'm still going to have to buy a new card lol.

    This game is determined to put up a fight!

    All your help greatly appreciated, however, now off to spend more than I wanted to I guess
  6. Okay, new problem lol.

    I used to have an Advent and when I installed the GFX card on that it was easy, the motherboard was at the back and the GFX card and sound card were completely seperate entities near the front that could be swapped hassle-free.

    Upon opening my Inspiron, it would appear that the GFX and sound cards are all part of the motherboard (that may sound stupid if you know better). Anyway, does anyone have a good experience of this that could offer me a how-to guide?

    I've discovered "safe mode" on the CoHUpdater which is allowing me to play but with shocking graphics and an 800x600 resolution which I am no where close to happy with long-term.

    Any detailed assistance would result in me being permanently endebted to the advisor!

    Thanks again
  7. I'm using Vista 32-bit. I actually have an NVidia 8 series (or something quite close) in my old PC, that I bought specifically for WoW, but assumed this would have something equal or better built in.
    The first on that list of four graphics cards does ring a bell. I don't seem to have a Run option in my Start Menu, I know what you mean but it's not there lol.

    I will move my other GFX card into this PC and see what happens, thank you both very much for your help, is greatly appreciated!!
  8. My knowledge of computer specs isn't exactly expansive, but I have a:

    Dell Inspiron 530
    Processor: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40Ghz
    Memory: 1.99 GB
    Storage: 288GB (209GB free)
    Graphics/Sound card etc., are Inspiron 530 standard, not sure how to find out quite what that is.

    My previous inferior PC ran C/O/H with few/no problems when I used to play a couple of years back, my current PC runs World of Warcraft without the slightest hitch and decent graphics. I've just rejoined C/O/H however and although it can run smoothly for a few minutes in certain areas, it can stop for ages and be unplayably slow, making the character unable to move or even turn.

    I downloaded a RAM optimizer and ran that in the background, I've cleaned as much other stuff of my PC as I can (209/288 free as above), I've set the graphics in the game significantly lower than the default and I've tried re-installing twice, I've manually allowed everything C/O/H related in Norton, I'm out of ideas and I can't understand why it ran fine on a weaker PC, and this one can soar through WoW, yet this is such a problem.

    Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Thank you.
