  1. Welcome. Please read this:

    http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...679#post803679

    Post a CohHelper and HijackThis! report.

    Also please describe the crash. Any error messages? If so, what does it say? When does the crash happen?

    If it says already in use or that the account is already logged in it's because you crashed and restarted the game and logged in before your previous login had timed out. That's normal.

    The CohHelper, HijackThis and any error messages or a better crash description will allow the folks here to help you a bit better.

    Good luck.

    +1! I hate the different rules. I pvp'd on test before all the changes. I even made a thugs/ff just for PVP. I got all the accolades including FoN just for PVP. It was fun and was my first experience with organized pvp.

    Then it all got shot to ****. Test teams disbanded. Buffs meant nothing. Everything under the ******* sun was supressed. Whoever attacks fastest and does more damage wins. Defense, elusivity, DR on buffs, heals, inspirations, set bonusses, it's all ******* different. I hate it.

    I never went back to the arena after they added in buttons and I've only trolled around RV just to get some practice on my stalker or hopped on a team with my thugs/storm.

    The PVP rules suck, they're not documented anywhere and everyone understands different pieces of it or some not at all.

    I'm glad it brought more pvpers in. Looks like Castle was right. Schmuck.

    Windows 7 Issue?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question or if the answer is somewhere else, but I recently bought a new HP Computer and have been playing CoH on it (runs amazingly without lag on highest settings), however, randomly during the game (probably a few times an hour) it will freeze up on me and say "Not Responding" and I have to close down and open it all up again... makes teaming really annoying! I have tried basics (resetting modem, reinstalling the game, all that stuff) but I am terrible with computers beyond that and am wondering if this is a common error with an easy fix? My computer is 8GB RAM, AMD Phenom II x4, with a Radeon HD 4350 card... if that helps at all...
    Open up task manager when it happens. With the game open see how much RAM the game is taking up. Mine freezes when it reaches about 1.3gb used. Restarting the game is the only option.

    However this usually happens after 5 or 6 hours, not 15 minutes or so.

    Post a HiJackThis and COHHelper just in case it's something else.
  4. Kind of a known issue. This half baked piece of **** feature never worked quite right. Sometimes buffing the pet (i.e. heal) puts it back in your pet window.

    It's nice when it works.
  5. Bottom line it's bugged in this case.
  6. I'll have him bug it. Note to everyone, you might be getting half influence/infamy if you're level pacted or if you were level pacted at one time. It wouldn't surprise me if this is a widespread problem.
  7. This may be a bit tough to explain. I'll do my best.

    A friend of mine was getting half infamy at level 50 from what I was getting at level 50 (28000 compared to 56000). After logging in as him and checking his settings (he was not in SG mode, Options looked normal) I decided to check the level pact. It didn't list anyone however it allowed me to click on the Leave Pact button and type in the toon name. I then got the message that I left the pact and then I was getting the full 56000.

    A while ago he was level pacted with his rad on his second account but ended the pact before 50. He hadn't been pacted with that rad for months.

    Is it possible the pact got formed again somehow?

    When his toon was gaining infamy it didn't say anything about him splitting it with his level pact partner.

    I'm not sure if the rad was receiving the other half of the infamy, he'll try and verify that at some point. But this seems like a nasty bug.

    Regards,
    Fitz
  8. I suggested possible overheating. A buddy of mine had low FPS issues and it wasn't until he ran with the case open and aimed a small fan at it that the problems were resolved. What's ironic is something ticked when he had fps issues in Dragon's Age as well. Prior to that we tried everything short of reinstalling the OS to fix his issues.

    Good luck on resolving it.

    Regards,
    Fitz

    wierd xp issue

    It could be a number of things I guess. Are you logged on as administrator?

    Post a HijackThis log.
  10. It could be heat issues. Check to see if your computer is running hot. There are some programs out there that'll monitor your tempoeratures. Or you can run it with the case open.
  11. This issue has been around for a bit. I think it was broken, fixed and now broken again. Now that I've been playing my /sd brute more it's more apparent to me with the auto click on active defense.

    Known issue? Fix on the way? Is this reproducible? It seems to happen randomly.

    Thanks

    It's not a game issue. If it were a lot more people would be complaining.
    • Check with your ISP.
    • Try a traceroute to the COH servers.
    • Do a constant ping to some site like www.yahoo.com and see if you're getting packet loss.
    At the very least your ISP should be able to tell you if your cable modem is running up to snuff (I'm assuming you're using a cable modem).
    • Try changing the coax.
    • Remove any splits between your cable modem and the wall.
    • etc etc.
    I've had my fair share of issues that were not related to the game.
  13. I thought this did work for a short bit but I just ran a +2 (or tried to) and got +0s.

    Here's GF on the -1 TF problem:

  15. Well 1 out of 3 ain't bad. What is a guy doing with a forum name like Star Light and Sweet Sarah? What about Butch? Or Tom? Mr. Forum Guy works too.

    Yeah it works with sprint. It just supresses travel pool powres (SS, SJ, CJ, Hover, Fly).

    Thanks for confirming. That kinda stinks.

    I have one ninja based toon (ma/inv) and I think it'd be cool to fight with Ninja Run on but not at the cost of losing CJ.

    EDIT: OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! Castle replied to me! ME!!! So close to getting a first after Castle! A first after a Castle reply to me! ME!!!! ME!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! Water, I need water! OMG!!!
  18. 1) Yes it works on any character
    2) No
    3) Swift, sprint and hurdle, yes. Travel pool powers, no
    4)

    It cannot be slotted.

    It detoggles the other travel powers.

    Wow, expensive power! Glad it jumps higher than CJ, but sad that you lose the defense bonus. I hope we can slot it for endredux. I know it's not meant to be used in combat, but do you know how often I forget to turn off sprint? (Not complaining! Just commenting!)
    I'd actually like to use it in combat. Ninja run up to an enemy, jump and forward flip. Eagles claw, dragon sweep, crane kick, flip back down the hallway to get away. /em bringit, clean up, /em pushup.

    But CJ is an important part of my ninja's build.

    Decisions decisions decisions.

    You can run both Ninja Runa and sprint at the same time for a bit more speed.
  23. Just bought it and checked it out real quick. It detoggles SJ, CJ and SS. I'm sure it detoggles Hover and Fly too.

    So there's no advantage in PVP with it.

    I hate losing the defense that CJ gives but it does look pretty cool.

    I might bug it and see if we can at least get CJ not to detoggle.

    Pookie is an affectionate term. It'd be like honeybuns or cuddlywuddlybear. Or even schnookieookiewookums.

    And yeah I know that it's planned to be fixed but you're confident it'll work?

    Go you!



    It'd be nice to have the + difficulties working again. Like I said above I had a lot of fun running +3 with 7 shields and a kin and wouldn't mind the challenge a +3 speed run might bring. I wouldn't expect it to take us more than 5 minutes.
