Quote:I had a mission recently that I could not abandon. It wasn't a timed mission, though. But I even got a pop-up window telling me that I could not abandon it, when I tried to enter the door of another mission that I had. Though I should note that this un-abandonable mission was one I had already entered, but which I couldn't complete because its end boss was just way too powerful (I had my difficulty settings too high for that character).Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I've abandoned timed missions before. So long as it's not your active mission, I've never had a problem abandoning one.
I was able to force the issue by logging out and logging back in again, however.
EDIT: And yeah, I tried the abandon mission button as well, or... is it called 'select task'? Whatever those options are in the menu. -

I have five characters on Virtue with about 200,000,000 inf each. Does that count?

Inversely, nobody came for the stories and left because of the farms.
Heck, why not just shorten this to the truth: Nobody comes for the stories. -
I find it to be a rather lovely mess. Kind of reminds me of the old days in the alt hiarchy of Usenet.

Quote:Yeah, I always hate these kinds of "solutions" because they never really give an answer as to what was going wrong in the first place! Ungh.Originally Posted by Healix
I don't understand it myself, but have found doing this, and other 'switch-off/on-then-back' has fixed stuff for me. A couple of times ingame, a strange 'bar' has appeared...I disabled Geometry Buffers, then enabled it again. Problem solved. At times, a reboot will help. It's very good that you shared your solution, as it may help other players!
Anyways, I've got the 160 gig SATA drive plugged into that computer now, and I figured I would format the drive first and then copy some files over, before I perform a new install of XP with that SATA drive as the primary.
Then will come the fun times of opening up my old computer, removing the expansion cards and the motherboard, and then putting the new motherboard (which is bigger) in its place. The only two cards on my old system I'll be able to migrate into the new system are the TV card and the sound card, and that'll be the max number of PCI cards my new motherboard can handle. I guess my Catweasel is going to have to be left behind! -
Quote:I tried each and every thing suggested to me that was possible. I was about ready to give up. All the 2D graphics in the game and most of the textures were always coming out mangled.Originally Posted by SeedyXX
Damn. Sorry if these suggestion seem too obvious: updated drivers, or maybe a prior version? Is it fully powered (a power connector on the card, besides the power it draws through the slot)? Is there dust or debris in the slot that can be blown out with compressed air? Are there any BIOS updates for that mobo?
I hope you can get something working. Good luck.

Then I switched from fullscreen to windowed mode...
The graphics were suddenly all fine.
I switched it back from windowed to fullscreen. The graphics were fine.
I switched again to windowed mode, exited the game and restarted the computer. I started the game up again, this time starting up in windowed mode. The graphics were fine.
I still don't trust it, so I'm going to leave that computer off for a while, then try it again.
I play CoH in windowed mode anyway, so that is not a big deal. The big mystery to me right now is... how would switching from fullscreen to windowed be the one thing that actually makes the graphics look OK???
I'm at a loss, LOL! -

Quote:I remember those times. It was not fun having to delete so many e-mails. "Blip on the radar" indeed. The argument for giving F2P players more freedom to chat with Vipers won't be won by trying to diminish and play down the real problem that was RMT spam.Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
Every single night I logged in, I had to delete 20+ e-mails from RMT spammers. There are people STILL on /hide after all this time.
I'm all for F2P players being able to chat with Vipers and Preems, based on the higher tiered players' permissions settings. -
We're all gonna die.
One day, you'll be logged into CoH, whether in a zone or a trial or in a mission or whatever. All of a sudden and all at once, all players and all critters everywhere will have their HP set to zero. You won't be able to rez, or go to the hospital, or to your base.
Everyone dies!!! -
I get the feeling that everyone here is clamoring for a one world government!
...just so that we can never be excluded from contests. -
If he did indeed slip through a hole in the map's geometry, then "Fallen Gunner" is an apt name.

For that matter, I'd like to have sombreros as a hat option!

Quote:So, they have finally learned what hot dog manufacturers and hot dog bun makers have known all along.Originally Posted by The_Spad_EU
Because everyone has learned that as Microsoft proved with Xbox Live that disconnecting Points from Pounds makes people spend more of them because it's harder to keep track of how much money you're actually spending. It's the same reason that you can only buy points in chunks that are almost entirely incongruous with the number of points that anything costs, so that you always have just too few or too many (leading to too few next time) points for what you want so you have to buy another chunk of too many or too few points.
EDIT: Curses, I should have read through the rest of the thread. I must go into hiding and change my name to Jeff. -
I think from now on, I'll name all the characters in my MA arcs "Jeff".

And I think there is a Marcus Cole too, you know...fron the dimension where everybody is Marcus Cole.
I hate that dimension. Way too many face plates.
To be on the safe side, we should probably move all the workers in Sharkhead over to that dimension, so they can do a little Cole mining. -
Quote:You can say that about this entire idea. The X-Men are a prime example, as their powers are inherent to them. I mean... compared to other animals, we could be considered super powered in certain ways. Should we stop using our brains and our hands to make things fair to them? That doesn't even make sense.Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
That particular case is a little like saying racing drivers are too dependent on their cars to win races.

Steampunk themed power and control items; telepads, storage, etc.
For that matter, Magitech themed power and control items, even. Both Modern and Dungeon Punk variants. -
I got the GT 240 today, and so I decided to install it in order to see how it looked, and plus I was a little eager to see it in action. Installing it was more or less a smooth operation. However, I think there might be a problem with the motherboard.
As you can see, Grandville looks fine:
But then I checked out Atlas Park:
As well, when I first ran CoH with this card in place, at first it was extremely slow to respond, and for a moment I thought it had crashed. Alt-tabbing to another program caused it to "wake up" and instead of a single frame from the game, it was actually running smoothly.
I tried all the x16 slots and this behavior did not change.
I say it's the motherboard, because of a similar incident that happened with it back when I first got it a few months ago. At the time, I had gotten a entirely cheap GT 210, thinking it would be better than the onboard video. I then attempted to play Tropico 3 with that system, and the game's graphics were entirely messed up. More than that, eventually even Windows XP's desktop would not show in anything more than 4-bit color (!). I pulled the video card out, and switched to the onboard video, and everything was fine. Also, the game ran fine that way as well, albeit with very low settings!
At the time, I blamed it on the cheap video card. But now I think I might have evidence that something else is going on. But I still don't know exactly what, yet. If it's that motherboard that's busted somehow, that's going to make me really angry indeed. -
Still waiting for the /pizza command...

Zombie Marcus Cole.
He could be like... some kind of Lich Lord.
Eh... that's been done before. -
Thanks to both of you. I think I will go with the nVidia card.
I think I'll have to rechristen this mix of old, new and cheap, "Froedrick".
