My guess is that your problem will be taken care of, but perhaps not immediately. I recently got refunded after an i17 bug. Also, keep in mind that you can update your support ticket via e-mail after the initial submission. Still, it might take some time since they have to verify the issue, and I don't know how much of the support staff works on weekends.

I was surprised to see how low the HP cap is for Khelds (esp. considering having dull pain and the increased HP in dwarf form). It's the one thing which I think will hold back an IOed Kheld from shining like a scrapper or tank.

Make sure you have the latest video drivers.

Also, try running the game in safe mode (by checking a box next to the EULA agreement acceptance).

If it starts up fine in safe mode, let us know!

Some similar complaints are mentioned here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=219728

I would bug it ingame and also see if there is anything useful in the thread I linked.

Could it be bad RAM?

Here are the patch notes from test: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=219969

They mention a crash on ATI cards related to the water reflection slider.

So perhaps your issue is already resolved on test?

Check for dust also. Especially those cards which have a cage around the fan.

GMA 950 is officially not supported I believe, at least in the case of macbooks.

It says your drivers are 6 months old. Did you get them from nvidia or from another site?

I am guessing not many people were running a $500 card on the test server, but it's not that you are crashing.

I think when I installed my video card I read that I should use the top slot unless running 2 in crossfire. Anyone think that could be a problem? I am not convinced it would be.

Was it visibly choppy in addition to reporting 15 fps?

Update the video card drivers and direct X to the latest version and, if that doesn't help, try starting the game in "safe mode" (it's a check box next to the EULA agreement). If the latter works, there is simply an incompatibility with one of the new graphic settings and it should be something you can turn off.

I think your GPU is what is limiting your FPS and access to Ultra Mode features. I would say the rest looks fine (though someone might have more to say on that).

I have the same issue.

What are some of your system specs?

Have you tried running the game in safe mode (via a check box next to the EULA agreement)?

I think safe mode ignores the graphics settings. I don't know if you can change your normal settings through it. Someone else could help I am sure though (since graphics settings are stored clientside, there may well be a file you can delete to default them).

That probably means one of the graphics settings is causing the problem. Someone else might have better advice. FSAA seems to be a common culprit though.

I feel like the ST grabity hold used to aggro its target at the beginning of its animation, rather than the end. Is that still the case?

Have you tried to enter the game in safe mode? (there is a check box next to the "i agree" button of the EULA).

I first thought overheating also. Is it significantly hotter in your gaming area today compared to last night? Summer brings out all of the over-heating issues.

The problem is that a new feature crept in: the ability to put in an order for multiple enhancements and inspirations. Who knows if this was intended. If it was, being aware of it would have allowed people to test it. As is, one has to fall upon it. Something which is hard to due, since marketing on test is, as was mentioned, limited.

Market is down while they isolate a bug:

Looks like they are taking down the market in the interim while they fix it:

Hopefully no one lost too much. I only lost maybe 4-5 million, but that included a good bit that I sacrificed knowingly to test some variables.
