Even the -Res proc isn't cheap though. Last time I looked its price range it was 500mil on the lowside and upwards of 900mil or more on the high side (though to be fair that was a week or so ago).

That being said, I've never noticed the +rech proc not working in AE. I used to have it in Repel on one of my Kins (Repel being taken as a "just in case" power) and I have turned it on just for kicks while herding and while it didn't go off often, I would see the results every once in a while. FYI its a 50 IO and I generally run 45-50 AE missions, if I run any at all. I recently respec'd out of Repel and swapped a few other things around on that toon or I would run some more to see if I notice any difference.


EDIT: Just took a peek at the Wiki entry for the +Rech proc and noticed the bit about how it self-suppresses. Maybe the problem you're having stems from this self-suppression? Just a thought...

I've done the same with most of my toons, limiting them to only accept email from friends and SG members. Only my senior toons (like my two Super Leader toons) don't have their email limited since I still get the odd email from a player looking for a home for a toon or three. I see the odd RMT spam in my inbox, but haven't seen more than a handful in the last 3-4 months.

And you're not alone getting PL and farm requests. Rarely have I ever been asked to PL someone or run a farm for complete strangers, yet in the last month or so I've been getting them left and right. Most commonly, they say that they've been "referred" to me by someone else who said that I PL or farm in exchange for Inf. Now, I'm not going to say I never farm or help a friend get a few levels, but not for random people I don't know, and I've never done either for Inf, heh.

I had tried to get one going, but prior to Wulf posting his Villain strategy (which he kindly linked me to a little while back). The first try we actually had enough people to probably get it done (43 as I recall), but all of us were guessing as to how best to go about it and we gave up after a while. The second try ran into problems even before its scheduled time and as a result we only got about a dozen people in zone.

Due to PC problems stemming from i17 not playing nice with my GPU I haven't been in game much, but doing a Villain Hami is still something that I and my coalition would love to get done. So unless someone else wants to take up the mantle before I can get my problems sorted out, I'll see about trying another one in the near future.

Points for presenting the idea at least, and who knows, it may help for some people. In my case dust isn't an issue as its a brand new system and hasn't had time to accumulate any dust, and dust doesn't generally cause memory leaks, heh.

It is quite a bit slower now than it was when I was running two monitors off my HD5750, the leak that is. Prior to changing up the monitors I was getting between a 300kb and 1MB per second increase in RAM usage (depending on settings and what I was doing). Last night it seemed to have slowed to 50-100kb per second on the same settings, and as mentioned, remaining fairly stable for a time here and there. Its basically doubled my game time, and maybe even a little more if I'd let the game run for longer to see how long to reach the used memory cap for a 32bit system.

I wasn't sure though if I could attribute this change to the last patch, dropping to a single monitor (which is an old Compaq FS740 CRT and not LCD as my old duals were), or reinstalling my Catalyst 10.4 drivers from scratch. I'll get the dual monitors set back up again shortly to see if I revert to the old memory usage rate. I'll update here to let you know.


EDIT: Also, something I forgot to mention was that my memory seemed to actually be clearing old data in a more regular fashion than it was prior to yesterday. Whereas old zone data seemed to just have new zone data piled on top before, now watching Task Manager when zoning I actually see it clearing most, if not all, old zone data before loading the new zone. This was a big culprit for me as well, since zoning a couple of times would add a couple hundred MBs or more to my memory usage and never clear it.

Wasn't there something amiss with Intel integrated GPUs and i17? (not 100% sure offhand) And is there newer drivers available for that than 2005?

You believe correctly, but also with the 5750. Figured I'd mention it so its known to others that it also has the same problem.

While I like the ideas, this particular one, if implemented wrong, could wreak all sorts of havoc on established bases. Would have to go about it carefully.

I've noticed this as well problem as well, and no I don't have 3D sound enabled. It doesn't seem to occur every time I load into a zone, but I'd say at least 50% of the time, and every time I load a new toon in for the first time.


EDIT: I'm not using a stand-alone sound card. I'm using an on-board HD-capable sound card.

I dropped you a PM with some details Television, as I've been suffering from an apparent memory leak as well.

Overheating doesn't cause memory usage to jump in leaps and bounds. That's an unrelated issue. Also, in case you didn't notice, the OP has apparently solved the problem by switching from 32bit Windows to 64bit Windows and all its attendant 64bit drivers so your post was also not necessary.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's one of the improvements being considered for the email system and not actually in place yet.
