I'm surprised as not to have seen my guild mate's PC newspaper mentioned here:

Thanks!

We were really excited when we learned how to make the arrows etc.

Some day we'll make a video of the base too!

(All links in this post excluding the sig are links to pictures)

We offer Teleport Services to all the Heroes of Paragon City.
The Secret Entrance is very flashy, but the TV shows are a little boring.

We have Green Arrows on the floor to help lead new Heroes to the Teleport Chamber.

There are Voltage Warnings all around the Power Room.

We also have a neat Workshop with all three Crafting Tables, Storage, and an Empowerment Station.

There is a very nice Hospital. With an AutoDoc and plenty of Medical Reclaimators.


Thanks for visiting the Infinity PTS!

Hey Bill,

You're crazy busy so I don't expect it soon, but I've also been interested in switching to nVidia. Could you help me figure out the x800 XT Platinum nVidia Equiv. ? Thanks much when you have time!

Name: The Paragon Taxi Service

Description:
The PTS is a group of Volunteer Players whos general purpose is to help people! All PTS Taxis have the word "Taxi" in their name and checkers on their costumes. We have weekly events and semi-weekly Badge Tours. You must agree to take Recall Friend to be a PTS Taxi. All archetypes are welcome, though (unfortunately) we cannot accept PeaceBringers due to an inherent inability to take Recall Friend. But most importantly we don't charge for any of our services, so don't expect to get paid for being a PTS Taxi.

Okay! The latest on my quest to alt+tab!!

/stopinactivedisplay 1

It works, except that then I crash just as frequently as I used to.

Enhancements screen

Holy crap!! It works! So with inactivedisplay on (0) I can go into my enhancement screen, open a window, full screen it, then go back to game, exit my enhancements screen, and alt-tab to the window, restore it to windowed size and watch the game and have my nice happy visible screen. Convoluted but better than forcibly rebooting every time I alt-tab..

How do you have anti-aliasing set? You should be suffering all types of hell with Water set to very High and FSAA turned on at all either in the driver or the game. This issue is purely related to ATI's drivers and Cryptic's HDR coding.

By the way, FSAA set to anything turns my game black except for the UI and player names. Not a complaint, just an FYI.

On the note of alt-tabbing, after fixing my refresh rate I've learned that I can compfortably and reliably alt-tab at any time that I'm in a loading screen. (ie stationary image. not refreshing anything) The window I'm alt-tabbed to (like http://paragonwiki.com for badge hunting or contact choosing) is perfectly stable and I can browse it all I like, alt-tabbing back to the game when I'm ready.

I haven't tried this but I have a couple ideas to try also. There's an in-game option that will hold the game image still when you alt-tab out of it, I think this might fix it. (/stopinactivedisplay maybe with a 1/0 toggle?) If not, then I can just enter my enhancements screen since that's a stable image too. I haven't tried these two options yet. But they're ideas

Ahah! Refresh rates! That was prolly it. But I have yet ANOTHER problem!

After reinstalling the video drivers earlier (yay it works) I don't have any audio

Edit: okay, now it's that bug.. nvm. I have audio, it jsut doesn't work sometimes in game. Thanks!

Augh! To answer your question, I have my setting set to what you described in your first post.

Now I have some other problems.

In my base, bump map colors are appearing on some wall/floor textures, making my base appear very bright and neon. I was turning various settings on and off again to try to see if it was an in-game setting that had done this and when I turned Bloom on/off again, the walls of my base disappeared. With bloom on or off, every time I faced NE the walls and some floors in my base then disappeared. I have yet to reenter my base since restarting the game. I've confirmed with an nVidia possessing SG mate that the bright neon is not supposed to be there and with an ATI using SG mate (also using your described settings) that the Neon is present on his machine. Though another ATI using SG mate (my hubby, not using your described settings, and likely hasn't updated his drivers since the beginning of the year when I reminded him to) does not see the neon.

Alt-tabbing, while nolonger crashing, is still impossible; I get a strange pixelated and crashed looking image of the game blinking and flashing when I have any window in front of the game. The window is not visible except in small flashybits when I hover over a button or hot key. Above described ati user (the hubby with old card/drivers) does not have any problem with alt-tabbing except some delay before loading the windows.

Highly frustrating...

Right on! It worked! I've done that whole setup before to no avail, but this time, it worked! huzzah!!

btw on the topic of water textures: It's likely something besides your video card. I have my water textures set to very high (I like my water, and it makes my hubby jealous) and it doesn't effect my FPS feel.

On another note (hopefully unrelated) I get system lockups regularly from alt-tabbing. Any idea on if this is fixable?

ATI's craptastic OpenGL support

[/ QUOTE ]

It sounds like you might be able to help. considering that OpenGL appears to be the source of an issue I have..

You have the same video card I do, but with the 6.3 drivers, I can't run the game...

When I went into the ATI control panel to implement the settings you listed, I click on the 3D stuff and get the following error message repeatedly:
"The currently used OpenGL driver does not support the required extensions to run the 3d preview"

When launching the game, I get these error messages after agreeing to the ToS:
You card or driver doesn't support GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array
You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_multitexture
You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_compression

Then:

Then:
City of Heroes has crashed and cannot continue. You may need to upgrade to a supported video card or driver.

And it closes.. I can restore to before I installed the 6.3 drivers, but I'd like to get this working if I can. Advice?
