  1. I am literally so frustrated now I could just cry!

    I have:

    [B]Reset the drivers for my GTX 260 video card back to 258.96.

    After a bunch of fiddling I managed to be able to get into the game in Safe Mode but the instant I talked to a contact or tried to change my graphic options the game froze. With these setting I still can't login to the game if not in Safe Mode. The game gets to the stage right before you can login and hangs (becomes non-responsive).

    Reset the drivers for my GTX 260 video card back to 258.96 and then upgraded to the latest drivers 260.99

    At first this didn't work at all, I couldn't log into the game in either safe mode or non-safe mode (okay, the phrase "non-safe mode" actually made me smile...). In safe mode I would be able to log in a character but it would stop halfway through zoning that character and the game would become non-responsive. Then I just brute forced it and uninstalled, Drive Cleaner Pro'd, re-installed until eventually I could log in in safe mode, but again, the instant I tried to talk to a contact or change a graphical setting the game would become non-responsive again. If I try to login when I am not in safe mode the game does the same thing as above.

    Defragmented my hard drive, Updated my sound card Drivers, Checked for disk errors, Ran numerous virus scans

    Did all of these things but they didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever. Windows didn't even recommend that I do the defragmentation (I think it was something like 4% fragmented) but I did it anyway. I updated my drivers for my sound card but they still seem pretty old. I checked my hard disk for errors and none were found. And I ran numerous virus scans but found no viruses.

    Uninstalled and re-installed City of Heroes and my video card


    Other than wasting a bunch of my time neither of these two actions really did anything at all.

    As you can see by the CoH Helper log all of my settings for the game are turned WAY down except for reflections (not sure how that happened), but I still can't play. Like I said at the beginning of this post I just want to cry! I haven't played the game for more than 5 minutes in over 4 days and I think I'm going into withdrawal!

    If anyone has a fix, PLEASE pass it along. Here are my CoH Helper and HiJack This logs.

    I updated my audio drivers and cleaned and defragmented the hard disk that has COH on it but the game still hangs. I went looking for Tweak CoH but it has completely disappeared. I will post the new results from CoHHelper but if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it!:

  3. Hello everyone. I recently upgraded my video card drivers from Nvidia 258.96 to Nvidia 260.99. Since then whenever I try to load COX it hangs at the Loading Screen just before it lets me login. If I start COX in safe mode I get a little further (I can select my server, and characters but the game hangs when I try to login one of those characters).

    I uninstalled the 258.96 drivers before installing the 260.99 drivers
    I rolled back the 260.99 drivers to the 258.96 drivers and it still didn't work.
    I uninstalled the 258.96 drivers, restarted into safe mode, cleaned my system with Driver Sweeper and then reinstalled the 260.99 drivers but it still doesn't work.
    My supergroup is having a huge event tomorrow (November 17th, 2010) and I would really like to attend if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

    Here is the information from CoHHelper:
