This was the thread I was looking for.

My question is once you apply one of these retail codes (which I just did; The Good vs Evil edition), how long will the VIP status last? Will it be until the game ends, or for only 30 days? Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Well, ask and you receive (I think). My base is now working. I got a reply from NCsoft Support, but they said they were escalating the issue. Just went in and now my base is working. Don't know if it was coincidence or if they did something. Regardless it's working now (except for the emblem issue that we all have been discussing).

Let's hope they fix the emblem issue soon.

Well I just submitted a support petition, and then I stumbled on this post. Have the same issue with the Biohazard emblem, but my real issue (which I couldn't find anywhere in this thread) is my base in non-functioning. I can enter it, the upkeep is paid up, but it states that I have no power or control. Anyone else have this issue, or know a way to fix this?

Like I said, I submitted a petition, but after reading this thread, I don't have much hope that the devs will get back to me.

This only affected my base on Protector, and not my base on Liberty.

Thanks.

OK, so I'm on my way to a resolution (finally).

I found the answer in this post:

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=219525&page=2

The solution was posted by British Battler which he received from NCSOFT support.

I can play the game now with no mouse or keyboard delay.

I'm not too keen on having all of my services disabled, so I'm going to do step by step trial and error to discover what process is actually causing this problem.

I'll try to report my findings.

Thanks to all who responded to my inquiries.

Thanks for the feedback. The drivers are up to date; I ran the Intel Driver Update utility, and there was in fact an update for the integrated driver, however it did not make a difference. I had done this before I posted.

As for the free space on the drives; this has never been as issue in the past. The drives have been at these capacities for years and has never been a problem playing the game. It's more of a graphical problem, that replicates even in safe mode. The mouse blinks and doesn't want to stay solid so I can see where it is.

I can't play the game this way. It's unfortunate, as I travel a lot and like to play the game on the road. Guess I may just have to stick to playing at home.

I'm going to double check that other intel link that was posted and see if I can find any help.

Thanks again.

I'm having more of a performance issue with the mouse cursor blinking and disappearing altogether. All drivers are up to date as well as windows updates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was able to run CoX fine on my laptop prior to I17

I'm currently having this issue as well. Been away since last October. Guess I better file a support request.

After reading several replies, I have to add my 2 cents (which has pretty much already been said).

It really is no big deal starting your own PUGs! I have no problem getting a PUG together everynight, and getting replacements when people log. It usually takes me under 10 minutes to build a full team. I just check out the search, find the level range I want (which is even moot now), and send tells (like "interested in mish team?"). More so than not I get replies, with people joining me. The biggest pet peeve I have is when I don't get a reply at all. All I ask is a polite "no thx", which I thank in return and move on. It's just courtesy. I also never try to bug anyone who has specifically stated they are not looking for any kind of team.

It's a great way to meet new players(vets and noobs alike), and if things go well I ask for a global friend request to ease the search in the future.

I will admit that sometimes it's tough to build a well-balanced group, but even then, with more people, it's more fun, and you can come up with creative strategies to win the mish. The name of the game, for me, is fun, socialization, and variety. I don't care about farming or powerleveling. Debt? Big deal! As many have said on these boards: "The journey is more fullfilling than the destination!"

Like I said, just my 2 cents. Thanks.

Thanks Armsman, I totally forgot about that feature. That is exactly what is going on.

Thanks again!

Thanks for that, zoom. I wasn't aware of that, even though it really has never been a big deal for me to reinstall.

I know that this isn't probably a bad thing, however I've noticed since I've renewed BOTH of my accounts last month, that none of my toons are receiving any debt whatsoever when they are defeated.

I use the time cards to activate my accounts. They expired last December and I didn't renew till last month (as I've already stated). At first I thought it was something to do with the Anniversary month, but now we are into June and still no debt accrued.

I'm probably just uninformed about something, but thought I would post to see if anyone else is having this issue.

Please be kind if it's something stupid

Thanks.

I don't think it's possible, but I may not be 100%.

I've installed mine on various machines and I always have to go through the installation process, even if I copy the folders over.
