  1. It was't until that moment that Ocho realized he'd gotten a job at the Paragon City Prance Club, not the Paragon City Dance Club.

    EDIT: Ooh. Just saw that it's an Inspiron. That's a laptop, right? Forget the canned air... you'll be hard-pressed to get in there if you're not techy. Umm. The 'sign of failure' comment is still valid, though. Does it do this only after it's been in use for a while (meaning hot), or even when the laptop is cold after resting?
    Its a new laptop, never noticed it being especially hot. Has been on all day, so it maybe warmer then normal. Running very quietly.

    i'd suggest clicking the "Verify All Files" button on the updater the next time you go to run it and seeing if it fixes anything.
    Possibly related: did you update your display drivers recently?
    No not hugely recently, I'll verify now. Thank you.

    I've applied the ATI hot fix. Dunno if its enough though.
  7. I took this picture, and its a new development. Only the last couple missions has this weird color pattern appeared, its also on Lost Television Hats. Any ideas?

    Since the first 2010 driver isn't out yet, you can find the Catalyst 9.12 driver hotfix here: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...912Hotfix.aspx

    To install the driver you will need to go here: http://www.techbeta.org/hardware/ati-mobility-modder/
    Thanks, the Hotfix solved my problem =)

    Might as well post a CoH Helper log as well to give us details on your specific hardware.
    I think so, the laptop arrived 5 days ago, and I haven't downloaded new drivers, so possibly not.
  11. I just got a new Inspiron 15 laptop, it has an ATI video card, and Windows 7. I've never played City of Heroes on either of these things before and I don't know where the problem lies. My problem is that on the user interface, the corners have become lines, NPC dialogue popup windows are blue and unreadable, my health and fury and end are a dark blue as is the inside of badge boxes in the badge tab. Many other small details are off like the close buttons being replaced by a blue box, but the world itself looks beautiful.

    Know what I mean?

    Please keep in mind I've never done a character transfer before. Never felt the need to spend $10 to do something so trivial. For free, however, it's gonna get used and used again! Yee-haw, even.

    I hope that didn't come off as snide. I certainly mean no disrespect and I appreciate your help. I just don't know if you're looking at what I'm seeing or you are very familiar with this process and just using some kind of shorthand or whatever. Thanks again for any help.

    Yes, that's the option, I understand your hesitation, but every one of those options (Server Transfer, Character Slots, Respecs, and Renames) have several back up points before any money is actually spent.

    Though after reading Dark Forgiven's post, I am highly tempted to sketch up a page of bewbs...

    I didn't feel that the summary explained to my satisfaction whether or not the animations themselves were customizable, and I thought I'd ask about it. I didn't realize I would anger people with my inquiry, I'll just go back into obscurity where I belong.
    Tempers are high on this thread at the moment, please don't take it personally. I can understand the confusion. Yes the color of dark itself is customizable, I've seen screenshots from hero con, Dark looks sexy in red.

I am SHOCKED, really, just SHOCKED.

    "Relax, Francis." We'll all get our turn, kiddies.
    I understand the reasoning, but as we've been able to see it before, and BABs made it sound like we could get on, its frustrating.
