    Crash time..

    Since the most recent patch I've had a problem.

    COH crashes my computer.

    This seems to happen randomly - it can happen within twenty seconds of login, or it can be fine for up to an hour and then blow up. When it does, however, first coh stops responding, graphics freeze, and at that time I can control nothing else (Can't change windows or alt-tab) although the pointer still moves. Within 20-30 seconds, the pointer stops moving and the sound stops, and at this point I have to power cycle the machine. It does not recover from this although I've waited fifteen minuites for it to do so,

    So far I've updated my drivers to the most recent published version and discovered they make things worse, not better, rolled drivers back to last known good drivers from before the patch, updated Directx, scandisk, defrag, cleared extra hard drive space, virus scan, run windows update to verify I have the latest drivers, cleaned the case out and run positively frigid air through to try and rule out heating issues, verified the coh files several times, turned my graphics settings way down, replaced my ageing dsl modem since I thought at the time it might be network related - Wentworths seems to trigger the crash a lot but large spawns of multiple type enemies do not.

    I suspect I'm having a hardware issue, but thought I'd post here and see if anyone had any other clue.

  2. (I made this character more or less on impulse as a gag. She turns out to have one of the strongest mental voices of all my alts, and I have a good lot.)

    The final fold didn't warp, and slim black fingers held the paper phoenix up for careful examination a moment before placing it gently in small host of other paper sculpture, displacing an older, less perfected attempt at Origami.

    To inner sight, the tiny runes and Kanji that enchanted the piece - a magical messenger bird when summoned - blazed with a soft purple radiance that did not disturb physical eyes, and it's maker was pleased.

    Maranwe shifted and flowed up the room she had made her apartment, checking again the status of one of her few modern luxuries - sound shielding that cut off the constant racket of Kings row outside the building that served as both housing and super group base for her allies. Sleep was not her best skill after as many centuries as she had practiced war, and things that disturbed what sleep she did manage in Paragon city now were...precious - and King's Row, even at night, was home to a vast cacophony to Svartelvish ears.

    Fallen Moon rested lightly at her hip, Massamune's work being, as always, the way she preferred her swords - graceful, quiet, elegant and harmonious. She had seen far too much of what came of noisy, bloodthirsty swords in other worlds. Traveling to the easter spirit worlds to have Fallen moon made of meteor steel and dragonbone had been one of her better investments.

    The silk of the kimono she had also acquired a taste for in that faraway land of myth whispered over stone as she found a place to look out the window she had crafted to a place outside Paragon - the windows of Kings Row being hazardous to look out off, and having horrible views besides - and sat in meditation, positionless and relaxed. An old skill and an old viewpoint - that meditation should not be something one could only do in certain postures. What, after all, would then happen if one must meditate while clinging to the side of a cliff, or in a torrent?

    Death. And blessed by the Valkyrie to be immortal or no, the gods of death did not easily turn loose of one -

    Breath hissed harshly through her teeth and Mara scrubbed suspiciously stinging eyes, letting her meditation lapse as the cause of her unease - that which lead to her being wide awake in the middle of her 'night', folding Origami when sleep would better serve - became clear.

    "This again." she growled, and slipped back to her kitchen to make tea, tossing a few extra coals onto the cooking hearth she had built. Archaic, she knew - but there were uses to the archaic things she clung too in this theoretically modern world that the human species in general thought little of.

    Not that Dark Elves were especially any better at thinking of such things, in all honesty, which explained perhaps why she as here, feeling muscles throughout her body twinge with remembered shock, stress and pain as she relived, all too vividly, the feeling of a giant metal fist shattering a whole host of her bones.

    The King's Row doctors had been amazed at her 'survival', Mara recalled, pressing lips thin as water boiled.

    "Paladin." That had been the thing's name. A iron and brass siege engine the size of a small house, but with a temper like Slepnir, Odin's particularly vicious horse. A clockwork monstrosity powered by something other than technology, lightning and steel driven to motion by something Other.

    Also yet one more on the list of things which had successfully killed her.

    Foolish, to fight such a thing alone, even if one succeeded in her aim of distracting the thing for long minutes. Suicidal, perhaps, but what did suicide mean to one who returned to life with each new dawn?

    Yet that too, was untruth. There were consequences to everything, and while becoming one of Odin's blessed Einhanjer had won the possible survival of her species in millennia past, now - when she had not touched Ausgard's soil in twice the lifespan of the civilization which produced her current home away from home - it still did not feel unwelcome or unwise.

    Merely uncomfortable.

    Even after twenty thousand years.

    The only Dark Elvish Samurai in the nearest seventeen closest universes (To her own knowledge, at least), sipped her tea and tried not to remember what it felt like to die again.

    In the siege that was Paragon City, tomorrow could very bring more of the same, and thoughts like that were simply depressing.

    (I really should poke my head in here more often. So I shall try to.)
  3. Kyriea gave the new bartender - 'Gal' she'd heard, the ears not being only for show - a once over, and grinned. Maybe this place -did- have what it took to be a Hero bar, after all.

    "The worst bottle of scotch you have on hand. There's no use in wasteing good booze on someone who is drinking because it tastes bad."

    She received an amazed look ('It's your nickel') and a bottle of cheap scotch in reply, and smiled, bowing her head in thanks anyway. Kyriea might look like a demoness - somewhat - but she had manners more befitting a queen.

    Which is what she had been before comeing to Paragon City, actually.

    Said thought was more than enough to remind the horned lady remember her scotch, which she drank - litterally in one gulp, upending the bottle and inhaleing it as if it were gatorade, and not hard liquor.

    When the bottle was empty, she placed it carefully on the bar and said, "That tastes just about as horrible as I thought it would. Thanks."

    Then she wet her lips with the tip of a not-at-all forked tongue and added, "Just what you need to wash the taste of Rikti out of your mouth. I'm going to remember this place, you can bet. Good service. "

    As the bartender was called away to deal with another order, Kyriea turned to the bar at Large and asked, "Okay, Paragon City, what's new in our world? As long," She added sideways, "As the story doesn't involve bad tasteing aliens."

    'I used to be a archvillian, but then I got bored and decided to become a superhero.'
  4. Nobody much paid attention to the door of the bar as it opened - untill one of the heros sitting nearer to it choked on his drink, scrambling for a weapon.

    The cause of his sudden panic reached over in a blur and plucked his gun from it's holster, placeing it gently in his hand, and pounded on his back with carefully restrained strength in more or less the same instant.

    Then she smiled at him, and he toppled over in a dead faint.

    "Bah. No spine." She said at the unconcious hero, and then turned around and headed unhesitateingly for the bar, ignoreing the subued hush that had fallen.

    She was quite pretty, actually - with the body of a supermodel, tall and slim, and dressed to show it off: bright crimson high heeled boots, hip hugging tight dennim jeans and a gold leather bustier that showed a good deal of well formed and firm cleavage, and a waist-length fall of slightly wavy, dark purple hair.

    The absurdly long pointed ears peaking out of the spiral curl of her golden demon's horns, her brick-red complexion and the fact that she stood an easy seven and a half feet tall somewhat disturbed the picture, but Kyriea thought - rightly enough - that she was a very sexy, very civilized archdemoness, thank you very much. She'd even restrained her wings to fit in with local customs - sealing them into the black tatoos of six slim dragon's wings that arced across her shoulderblades.

    When she finally reached the bar, she tossed a few influence notes down, along with her ID, and settled casually on one of the barstools, the half dozen or so golden earrings in her pointed ears ringing softly. "If I could get a really good burger and - Some Scotch, please. It's been a long day - which started last week."

    The Asura lady frowned to herself. "And I've seen more of the insides of Rikti bases and the insides of Rikti, power-armored and non, than I care to think about, so make it the whole bottle of scotch. The vile taste may wash the images out of my head."

    Tony took a deep breath, finally realizeing he was stareing and then checked her ID - and raised an eyebrow. It wasn't the highest security rateing he'd ever seen, but it was up there, nonetheless. "Yes mam." He said and headed back towards the kitchen with her order, pauseing only to bring a drink to the lady a bit up the bar from the 'newcomer'.

    Meanwhile, Kyriea turned to those still stareing, and asked politely, "Is there a problem?"
