I found this when searching for a solution for my vent issues and increased cpu usage with the game.

The thread suggests that the fix on the training room runs this at a lower priority.

So hpoefully these are just incomplete patch notes and that same fix has hit live.

I'll test it out later. But even with this, the respec fix isn't mentioned above so I'm not sure if there's a disconnect between fixes being rolled in and what's on the announcement above.

What about these?:

- respec crash
- lgtf fix
- lowering process priority for cityofheroes

??

Edit: bad rep on this post? Not nice. I can understand bad rep, but why this post when there are so many others to choose from? "worthless waste" is a bit redundant. I still love you anonymous forum rep giver dude.

Log a bug then, maybe they'll fix it. What's funny is their invinciblity is much stronger than the invincibility a tank or brute gets.

It's invincibility. Attack them from range or only 1 or 2 in melee.

And here's the thread:

Upgrade your graphics card drivers. Everyone and their mothers claim they never had issues before i17 so they shouldn't now but the driver updates do help. Also be sure to disable that ATI hotkey poller and/or the ATI Event service after you've upgraded.

And yes hopefully the test server fix improves the overall experience for the rest of us having CPU and other issues related to background programs.

Post a cohhelper and hijackthis. 2 things come to mind:

- update to the latest graphics drives
- close down all other applications and *only* run the game. don't stream music, don't alt tab and surf the web. don't run ventrilo or teamspeak. If you're using ATI turn off the ati event service or hotkey poller.

Report back here with the cohhelper and hijackthis and others can provide better feedback.

Virus? Malware?

There is an issue where the pets disappear when exemped after the leader leaves a completed mish.

They're all in India. They took errrr jobs! Dey took errrrrrrrrrrrrr jobs!

I'd like to be in TUSH.

Sorry -- I got nothin'.

I've confirmed watching the messages is a great workaround for this problem. Another interesting note is that if there is delay (hitting cancel doesn't show that you've claimed the money off of the market), bidding a 2nd time with say 5 influence will call the "cancelled" item back up as well.

What does this all mean? Watch the messages and make sure your bid is actually cancelled before re-bidding.

Again, thanks for the suggestion FX and K.

Oi vey it's all a bunch of tl;dr.

Just ignore the posts where people are ******** and it'll fall off the radar eventually.

It's not difficult.

C'mon, giving the market a bit of time isn't a viable workaround. There's no telling whether you have to give it 5 seconds or 50 seconds. But I'll try.

When I get into the groove of building recipes, buying IOs and buying salvage I bid, cancel and rebid pretty quickly otherwise it makes an already long task longer.

Oh, I didn't get that IO for 6 million, cancel, lets bid 7 million, cancel, 8 million. I shouldn't end up getting all 3 and spending 21 million on it. The 6 million should've gone through or at least acknowledge the fact that I cancelled the earlier bids. If it removes the line item from the screen it should truly cancel it.

I'm going to bug it because I think there should be checks in place to prevent this from happening.

Also I think there was a time or two where this happened with the old market but it was extremely rare. I'm using the market for the first time today since i17 and this has already happened 4 times to me.

Grrrrrr!

I bid on something, I don't win it so I cancel it. I put in another bid and I win. I then end up winning the first one I cancelled as well.

This has happened to me several times, fortunatley it hasn't yet happened to me on a multi million inf purchase.

We had an experienced team try and were unsuccessful. We were hoping a strong spike would be enough to do it. We got one of them down to about 75% before it healed back up. We even tried to have the 2 tanks taunt a green on each side but all of them were healing. 3 nukes later still no good so we just decided to cut our losses.

Looking forward to this change rolling into Live.

EDIT: I haven't run a Baracuda or Khan since i17 but is he still broken?

Because the devs hate villains.

I see this going 2 ways:

- Castle quietly accepts this and pushes a fix through "soon"
- Castle leaves it as is because he's mad at all the feedback and treats this like he did zone PVP. He ***** it up then ignores it.

EDIT: Yay I'm a glorious beacon of light! How do I freeze the rep system at this point?

I'll join, I'd like to run one at least once. No need for test runs in a video game. Lets run it, if we fail, lets run it again.

How often do you all do test run mothership raids?

I vote for the Champion dude as leader. Or hazy. Or Camo if we can tear him away from PBS long enough to lead one.
