    Sli?

    speaking of eyeinfinity, anyone running COx with it? right now i have a gtx 285 and am thinking of switching to ATI,The new 6000 series will be announced next month and the
    58xx and 59xx should be having some good price drops.
  4. oops my bad i re-read your post and see adaware,i would install malware bytes,it finds some things that adaware also finds.

    one other question when you updated your drivers,did you load over top old ones or remove the old and install the new?

    i usally remove the old and run a program to clean out the left over bits of drivers and then install new
  5. one question,have you been doing the windows updates every month? usally 2nd tues of the month is Microsoft patch tuesday. also i am not sure if you have run either or both adaware or malwarebytes checking for cookies/and other stuff. a run them and also have norton on my system, I dont trust just one checker. they are both free.

    just do a google search for them.
  6. Thanks, the power requirements are getting kind of ridiculous for these cards. I can't imagine what people do to run triple SLI setups.

    they heat their houses with it.

    rikti invasion

    Have not heard if they plan any invasion weekends or weeks, I assume they are waiting til after Aug 17.

    or if they plan some 2x weekend either
  8. same issue as of 7:32 pm est
  9. is there a thread with good instructions on duel boxing?
  10. well if the new socket is released in about 12 months, at first it will cost quite a bit to purchase. right now i would say the computer has enough horsepower for at least 2 years, being on the bleeding edge sometimes is not a good thing. Windows 8 should be out about that time also.
  11. i might suggest a external usb hd for backing up, 500 gig is less that 100.00 copy to your drive unhook drive and store ina safe place,if the second drive is internal,if say yougot a nasty virus or power surge it would go bam with the rest of the computer/
  12. well, maaybe they are replacing the apple 3s that they use for servers and moving up to ibm ATs. or maybe they are getting ready for server consoladation?
  13. ty for your suggestions , i plan on going over to blue side with this toon, i didpick a patron,just toget the badge before switching,I alos most use this a a team support, but will need some soloing for the switch and after

    Again thanks for suggestions
  14. Hi,

  15. i have a lvl 48 ds/therm,while it is a good combo,I am thinking of maybe a DS/ff.I have a rob/ff lvl 50.
  16. well if it is removed,I can understand as COx has had a few flops in the past,and can not afford another one(for the record flops like MA,became a farmers great hope,get your char from 1-50 in six hours of play,never leave atlas park). and now they no longer have the only super hero game, champions online is out,DCUO is coming,marvel has one in the works.

    so better to get it right.than to eat some crow.
  17. on a side note, is one of the patron arcs more stalker friendly? for soloing?
  18. well from the video I get the impression that they have very high hopes for GR.once earlier they had high hope and a LOT of HYPE, Items of Power anyone? or the base raids? or COP? they had a whole issue for that, had interviews,articles,postings. and where is it now?

    I know they don't like to talk about upcoming issues much because in case they decide not to add something to the game, but to have a issue dedicated to it then turning it off is a big letdown.

    I am in the middle of doing my first Patron Power arch, and I must say to me that is a big letdown, i much prefer the hero side. Not that i plan on using the powers(which originally you could only have one patron so you had to choose wisely and they were talked about being a bit better than the hero epics,and due to postings I have read.are not) but the long time doing the arc solo or with a small team, to me have not been worth it. and I have had COV since the beta. And for the record I have purchased GR. If the arc you have to do to switch sides is anything like the Patron. Just one more part of the game I will skip.
  19. well glad you ran adaware,and cleaned out cookies, for a side note malwarebytes finds some things that adaware misses,
    I know you hate this idea, rename current coh to coh.old, and do a fresh re-install

    good luck
  20. try running adaware and malwarebytes, clean out any saved cookies.also i know you upgraded to sp2 but did you do any more checks for update after
    ?
  21. i might suggest that you download and install both adaware and malwarebytes and run both.
    not that a spyware might be causing it but who knows? also have you tried to flush your dns? this might not help but i do it about once a month, in case you have a bad ip cached.I Had trouble when I17 came out on my machine, and one of the fixes i tried was rename your coh dir to .old and re-install,yes this will be a pain . I suggest this in case you have a bad sector in the game files, a defrag and scan disk might help,

    New Zone?

    I was in Talos,and one of the lines said by a random NPC "It's been closed since the Rikti Wars,Never been up there". Is this another teaser for a Moon zone?
