  1. LOL My vacuum would totally pull pieces off the boards.
  2. did you all try exiting and resetting the mission to see if it would happen again?

    Sounds like a fun bug though!
  3. As a rusult of my post here which mentioned my intermittent lag, Miuramir wrote,

    Carefully check your intake screens, fans, and heat sinks for clogging and clean them; graphics cards with plastic covers are notorious for building up gunk under the cover where you can't see it that drastically reduces their cooling capability. Make sure wires haven't gotten in the way of your fans, and that they can turn freely. Look at your airflow layout; is your GPU sucking already hot air from after the CPU heatsink, or vice versa?

    Reducing your graphics settings (particularly the demanding shadow settings) and cleaning up other things that may be running in the background may help. You can try temporary over-cooling measures (opening the side of the case and pointing a box fan at it, etc.) to see if that helps the situation.
    I've had a computer for well over 20 years. I'm not afraid of them, but I am not the most savvy by any stretch of my imagination. I can at least swap out a card or something. What is the proper way to clean the computer's insides. My machine does get very dusty. What are GPU and heatsink? What do you mean buy airflow layout? My pc sits on a desk next to the monitor and there is a wall behind it. Or do you mean inside the box?

    Any other tips?

    Thanks

  4. I too am suffering from unplayable lag. The odd thing is it is intermittent. If i wait 5-10 minutes I might be able to play normal for 1 or 2. My computer isn't horrible or any but just in case it is me, I'll post my info.

    Here is what HiJack This has to say.... I definately see some removable junk LOL

  5. Ok I'm back after being gone a couple of weeks and I return to extreme lag to the point where I can't play. I dropped my graphics to the one right above ghetto and no real effect. Is it GR? I have a decent computer and haven't had much issues with lag before. I've had 2 changes though. I did get a wireless router and my power supply died so my friend swapped it out for one she had laying around. What do you all think?

    thanks
    Kara
  6. OMG this blows! I wish I had known this BEFORE I deleted a toon to make a new one!! So glad I prepurchased GR so I could play right off the bat.

    Mission TP

    I'm trying to help out a friend. Can you tell me where one gets the mission teleport power?

    Thanks!
  8. My hair is beautiful!!! Everyone thinks I am beautiful.

    Thank you for your help :-D
  9. UGH It was stupid SG mode. I've never had it mess up my costume before. I had already told it to hide the SG emblem. Why would it effect things like my hair color?
  10. I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the tailor in Founders to change my hair from black to white and it's not working! *sniff* The odd thing is that in the editor it looks white as it should, but not in the game.

    Ok I would add the screen shots I took but I can't figure that out right now and my girl has a date waiting in Atlas...
  11. Ok after submitting a petition and posting here, I tried again and it is now fixing some pigg files. Ok it's done, I'm logged in and all is right in the world again :-)
  12. Atlas Park is an ocean of white for me. I also have a nvidia card. I'm not sure which one specifically. I verified files and that didn't do any good. I don't see this file texWorldV1.pigg in the pigg folder. There is a texVworld1, but if thats not the broken one then I don't want to delete it.
  13. Oh I'd like to join with my ice blaster, Circle Dancer. I hope I can be there! I also have a rad/rad def that might prove useful
  14. So you already got your badge but I'll post this for others anyway. Before I learned that there are arcs that have missions with lots of PPs a friend of mine a keybind and a "power" to click. It looked for Paragon Protectors and had very good perception. We used this to tab thru the baddies in FF. It didn't take long to get the badge after that.
