Gaia

I was under the impression ALL EU accounts were renamed and it was just the globals where the collision test was applied. Might be wrong and mine was affected either way.
Its still a possibility that the OPs account may have been renamed though so if his account was an EU one he should try both names.

I dread to think what would have happened if you had EU account xyz, NA accounts xyz and EUxyz - even worse if someone else had the last one.


Also Roderick is correct with the trial accounts - I was thinking of the globals on that.

Ask Mot - and before you ask that name shouldn't be available either but for a different reason.

or healing 2B points with Aid Other :P

Rikti: Deluded

Clearly Rikti Logistics is incapable of handling opening up two fronts at once - either that or their portals can only target one dimension at a time.

As a different example.
For anyone still using 35mm film cameras - the image on the negative will be about 1mm across for every 100mm focal length of the lens.


This will mean on a typical 5*4 print taken with a standard lens you can expect it to be about 2mm across.

Yes definitely distance was a major factor.
There was a much older guess as to how it worked (from about 5 years ago) before they properly understood how the game worked are you thinking of that?
The AT mod and possibly debuff mod is effectively present in that - it affects the character threat i.e. the threat you see in character stats and reduced by 1 for stealth.

Maybe - Maybe not - what it will do is eliminate one possible resourse hog from the equation.

Mapservers usually are either a problem on the user's PC or their connection to the servers. That you only got 4 people responding that they also had a mapserver incident and not the majority of the server would support that.


So as well as providing the details asked for a tracert to the game servers would help to identify any network issues. If you could get that when you are having the problems all the better.

Sometimes there are problems on the server but they are generally pretty obvious as you typically get 50-100 players complaining about it in global chats and no doubt a lot more on the high population servers.

Loads of Pinky Finger buttons that are unusable for those of us using a mouse in our left hand - I don't think I'll bother either.

Also with any proc it will have the same effect irrespective of level so the lower level ones are preferable - and a *LOT* more expensive.

Global procs/bonuses though will continue working even when the power its slotted in isn't available.

There's also Windows password manager which may be why some people think its being saved.
The first time you connected Windows should have picked up that this is a login page and offer to remember password. If you said Yes to that then just clicking in the password box should fill in the credentials.
Note this is a function of Windows NOT your browser and so the credentials are stored in the registry rather than the cookie that IE/Chrome/FF use. I think whether this is enabled may be dependent on your Windows security settings, some security suites may disable it as well.
If you said NO to that prompt you will need to hunt out a registry hack to clear the entry.
You may also have clicked YES to the "Do not remember any more passwords" prompt.

Not a lot of space on the D drive - if that just holding backups fine but if it needs to be accessed by something it may seriously impact performance.

I also see the launcher running although not the game.
The launcher is known to be a resource hog - so best to set it to close after launching the game.

There are also a couple of applications which look as if they have the potential to use high resouces.
The Bluetooth image transfer and what looks like a webcam app - Cyberlink\YouCam

From the symptoms it sounds as if the zone loading is taking so long that the server thinks you have disconnected - basically the same as a mapserver disconnect.
This could be a network issue or equally could be something using resources on the PC - particularly disk access.

I do see similar if I run CoH on my net-top - basically the Ion CPU on that isn't really up to the task but it using a laptop 5400 rpm drive will also contribute. The I3 on your laptop should have more than enough processor power but other factors can slow down the zone load.

It means that Windows has received a request to allocate a block of contiguous memory of x bytes but is unable to do so. Generally because some application is locking areas of memory preventing the garbage collection routines to move them to create a sufficiently large contiguous block. This is usually indicative of a memory leak in some application running on the system - not necessarily the one reporting it.

This also means that the increasing total amount of memory or even the total free memory may not prevent this error. Basically if you have 16Gb memory installed and 15Gb free but a locked area of memory every 511 bytes throughout the memory map - you will get this if you need a 512 byte block despite having 15Gb free.
Also if you think the many "Memory optimisers" being sold will help - they won't - from XP onwards Windows built in routines will do everything these would but if the memory is locked it will still be locked.

The launcher is known to suffer from a memory leak hence Hyperstrike's suggestion to set it to close on launching the game.

It also doesn't rule out another application also suffering from a memory leak. The link he provided will create a couple of reports showing what is running which will help to identify any other applications known to cause problems.
If its crashing within 5 minutes I would suspect more than the launcher is coming to play here.

Of course if your target opens up with lots of AoEs it might go horribly wrong.

I wouldn't expect any problems up to about 5 years if its running as recommended by AMD/NVidia.

If its heavily overclocked its life will be reduced.
Poor system cooling could also adversely impact it.
A buildup of dust could also cause the GPU fan to lose efficiency or even in extremis fail.

Generally this means one of their techs (if you are lucky) or trained monkeys (otherwise) installs the copy that comes with the card which generally is not the latest version and even if it was may well not work well with OpenGl graphics.

AMDs drivers are generally well tested against DirectX but CoH does not use this - it uses OpenGl and here AMDs testing falls short. Their good drivers are just as good as NVidia's, however they also release a sizeable number of drivers which do not work so well.
There is a stickied thread on which of AMDs drivers are stable with CoH.
I would strongly recommend reading it and ensuring you are using a stable driver.
