To add another opinion on the forums being laggy, I had no issues with it when I was experiencing my map/crash problems...lucky I guess?

Quote:Mandu, the problem is that I map/crashed several times in one day just zoning in/out of mishes as well as simply taking the tram so unfortunately, it is not just PD and ouro.Originally Posted by Mandu
Ok, where I'm seeing it universally is to and from pocket d and ouroboros.
On the bright side for me at least, it is now 6pm Eastern and I have been logged in since 12 noon with no map/crashes at all, just as I had none last night. It was almost like this was a 48 hour flu for my CoH considering I had a terrible issue with it for 2 days and now nothing...I've also gone ahead and turned my graphics back up for about 3 hours and no issue at all!
If I do experience additional problems though, I will post it but so far so good and I've played the same SS/Fire brute as well as two redside toons for a bit and no problems.
On the bad side, a friend has now begun to have the issue as well even though he was fine up to this point.
No rhyme, no reason that I can see in this! -
Played my SS/Fire brute for 3 hours hoping to collect some data to help with this map/crashing thing and much to my pleasant surprise, I did not map/crash not one single time and I tried everything...
Used mish teleport power, PD VIP pass, ouro, tram, base teleporters...everything! Ran 2 DFBs on my new brute (the TW/dark mentioned in my last post) as well as a manti on my SS/Fire and not one single map/crash.
Will play again tomorrow and report back! -

We are looking in to the map server disconnect issue.
We'd like to know what server you were logged in to and zones you were leaving/going to.
~All occurred on Champion
-Ouro to Atlas Park
-Ouro to Brickstown
-Zoning into a mish (cannot remember which sorry)
-Zoning out of at least 3 different mishes (again cannot recall)
-Brickstown to base
-Base to Talos
-Zoning out of a Death From Below
-Talos to Croatoa
-Using mish teleport but do not recall zone to zone
-Pocket D to Faultline
There were a few more but I do not recall all of them -- will keep a list if I try to play this weekend and thank you SO SO SO SO much for looking into this problem
To add information that Texas Justice was mentioning in his last post above, I've been playing mostly on my SS/Fire Brute (Magic Origin if that could matter at all?) but I also had played another toon which I had *just* made yesterday which is a TW/Dark Brute also of Magic Origin -- both of these toons are of the Hero Alignment, the first brute having started in Praetoria as a hero and the new brute started off in the GC turorial as a hero.
The one thing that I thought initially before it happened more than 3x was that it *all* started after I took the SS/Fire Brute to the echo of Galaxy City for badges and plaques...had no zoning issues so I then went to do the mission that allows you to save the mystic and get the badge needed for the Atlas Medallion accolade and instead of using the crystal to hit the contact I used the ouro portal to Atlas so I could hit my base first...that was the very first crash when I ouro'd to Atlas.
After that is was all pretty much downhill, I map'd coming out of the mystic mish then logged back in and used ouro to go back to Atlas and map'd again...other than that I honestly could not remember everywhere else I went...however, if the DEVS really want it, I can pull the chat logs which would show all the zoning and blips for times logging in and out since I record all my chat stuff but I'm not sure I'm up to filtering through it all! -
See you around the water cooler, Shin!

Hi Inc!
IMO, if the person who is only +1 has the ability to follow directions and is a good player in general it really shouldn't be a problem to have them on the team. If you are familiar with someone to know that their skill level is there it should not be an issue to take on a +1 but seeing as how you were gone for a while, perhaps they weren't aware of just how competent you are lol.
I think the only reason certain folks are looking for +3s only is because so many people do not listen to directions or simply do whatever the hell they want and if they aren't +3 when doing so, they can cause issue for the balance of the team but I think you knew that already
Oh...and yeah, what they said above about badge runs, obviously much easier if the team is optimal for success... -
Healzors, please see this post (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=280185) -- I think it would be more helpful if all of the people experiencing this issue posted in the same thread and posted information that may be helpful for our DEV team to look into the issue and hopefully get a fix in ASAP

Alrighty, well I crashed/mapserv'd/whatever you would call it...
I ran 4 mishes as well as SSA 4 and zoned in/out no issue other than the loading screen "blip" out and comes back again when the progress bar hits that 5% mark as someone else mentioned.
After that I went to the black screen of death and yet again had to ctrl+alt+dlt in order to close CoH and even see my desktop. Using the windows button does not work when this happens, only ctrl+alt+dlt.
Sometimes I don't get the black screen of death and it simply freezes on the loading screen showing circa 5% progress and I still can't use the windows button when that happens, need to ctrl+alt+dlt but at that point I can close out the task manager and right click on the game to close it out.
Either way it is still happening
EDIT: Went to log in and as other have said, it tells me the account is already logged in then says it cannot connect so when I finally do connect I zone into my base to take portal to RWZ and crash again so I give up for the night...GL to my fellow crashers! -
Kindrad, can I haz some of your memory?
Well, turned down the graphics as TX said and I've run about 4 mishes so far...zoning is okay atm but it wasn't consistently crashing on every zone yesterday or earlier today so we'll see!
I will post and let everyone know...and btw, I don't like the new graphics setting lol -
Quote:Just seeing this now -- I actually set my launcher to close and told the hubby how to do it so, unfortunately, yes it does close automatically...wish that could be the problem!Originally Posted by Texas Justice
EDIT: Since hubby thinks it may be a memory leak, I'll ask another question. Do you have the NCLauncher set to close once it has launched the game? Not just minimize to the tray, but close entirely. This could help a lot as well. I'd recommend following the steps in Hyperstrike's Guide: How to make the new NCSoft Launcher as unobtrusive as possible that is stickied here in this forum section.
Going to try to play again and turn down the settings as you stated hoping there is no further issue but not without protesting that I even have to turn them down lol

Quote:This is about what I'm having happen as well!Originally Posted by Fugacity
When I zone, the game crashes. When I try to enter my SG base, the game crashes. When I log out to the character selection screen, the game crashes. When I try to enter a mission, the game crashes. If I log back in, it tells me that the account is already logged in.
Occasionally it doesn't crash when I zone, but then this always happens: The loading screen appears with <5% loaded(small amount on the loading bar), it sits on that screen for a couple seconds, then it flashes a new loading screen and starts from 0% until it fills the bar and I actually zone. To me it seems like something's happening during zoning that causes a mapserver disconnect, but I don't have a B.S. in Computer Science so that's just a guess on my part.
If I stay in one zone, and just pick up gifts, the game runs fine. -
I'll give it a whirl TX, thank you -- what sucks is that it was never an issue before
-
I use Norton and CoH is on its friendly list -- hubby thinks it is a memory leak issue but I have no idea!
(also I have used the repair thingamabobber on the installer and it hasn't helped) -

Quote:Darth, I think this is already a known issue or at least I recall reading another thread here in the tech issues/bugs forum when looking to find others having the same mapserve issue as I am.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
Can you guys do something about the fact that my trays emptied on both on my toons I logged on today? You guys know this is happening when are you going to address this?
The mapserving is upsetting lol -- I'm sure they will work on resolving it but it will totally crush my game play on a weekend, the only thing I can do is hunt atm since everything else eventually causes a crash. At one point last night I was able to run 3 mishes with no issue but then on the completion of the 4th I crashed and just logged for the night! -
Quote:Unfortunately yes, they are -- and it appears to be limited to zoning -- when I zone in/out of missions, when I use tram and ouro portals.Originally Posted by Arbiter Oates
Are the mapserver disconnects still happening after today's patch (December 15)?
Just finished a DFB and didn't mapserve on the way in but on the way out at 4:09pm I did
Oh and just in case:

I was perfectly fine yesterday and today crashed about 6 times -- when loading into mishes, zoning out of Ouro and even once while using train to Croa...
Windows updated a good amount today but the crashes had started prior to those updates!
(They were MapServs like you stated and I do not have AMD so it shouldn't be a driver issue like others I know) -
Hello Nicoliy, SGs are a wonderful part of having regular teaming and that could certainly be an option, but so are global chat channels. I am not a mod (that I recall) in any of the more active ones but there are several or even all of them that call out for people to join task forces, teams, etc. on a regular basis and that would solve your teaming problem.
From the various people you meet in the chat channels you may also find yourself a suitable SG. Some of the chat channels are private and you are not able to join them without an invite but as peeps get around to reading this post, they will most likely send invites for chat channels -- you could also mention it in the "help" channel which is global and perhaps they will see that and shoot out an invite for you.
Of the chat channels I am involved with, Champions United and DarkGuard Network (DGN) are the most active but there is also Champion BMT (of which I do not belong) that I believe is also very active.
Keep in mind that the Champion boards are pretty slow as of late but your post will not go entirely unnoticed -- also, teaming on a holiday weekend when so many are traveling could have contributed to the issue of teams this past weekend.
One last tip, when you can't find one you can always organize one! Often times when my sg isn't around or everyone is half afk for personal reasons, I will put together my own teams using the search feature, sending tells before sending invites and making sure to let the people you are sending tells to know what you are doing as a team. My tells are usually something like "Lvl 30ish hero tip team lf2m, are you interested in teaming?", I am pleasantly surprised at how many people jump at the chance for teammage but don't want to form the teams =] -
I think the only thing that I would like to do is to get as many accolades on all of my Champion 50s as I am able to stand...
...but there are a lot of them and I enjoy the process of leveling so I am not going to hold my breath on that one!
Nice post Deebs! -
As I watched the first part of the president's speech today, while he pardoned this year's two lucky turkeys, it made me think about what I am thankful for...
My loving, caring and perfectly imperfect husband
My health, family, friends and animals
America and those that selflessly serve our country in the military
Having a safe place to live
The material things I am fortunate enough to own
Fairing relatively well in a tough economy
Living in a state that remains warm even during the "winter"
...and so, SO much more!
What are you thankful for, Champion?
Wishing everyone safe travels and great times with family & friends, Happy Thanksgiving Champion
-
Happy Birthday USMC
Thanks for the 236 years of defending and serving and loving our country! -
I hope everyone has a good time!

Acey has his toon all ready for this -- just hope there is no interference and we are able to come...while I don't really like zombie stuffs, I wouldn't mind coming to watch
