Siska

I've been suffering from this as well. Game runs fine in the beginning, but then it will suddenly start flickering. When I travel or when in combat. Once it starts it wont completely stop unless I reboot. I have not done much to try and fix the problem other then changing some graphic option in the game to see if it helped (it didn't). Typing /reloadgfx after the flickering issue starts produces a real interesting smashed looking load screen.

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
MoBo: Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.6GHz
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 2GB
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

Finally got it to work.

Changed my user account back to standard from administrator, rebooted, logged back on to my now standard user account. Clicked the launcher, it asked my for administrator password (just like it did when I installed a few days ago). Patched for maybe 15 seconds and then started the game. My in-game graphics setting were reset, but that is easy to fix, everything else seems to be fine!

Hope I wont have to do this every time there is a patch. Thanks everyone.

Like I said, I just changed my whole user account to administrator. It did not help.

I am getting this error to. On a new install on a brand new computer. So I doubt the issue is having 2 installations unless the installer is doing something really strange.

Changed my user account to administrator. Still getting the error message. This is the log

So is there anything I can do to fix this?

So starting this morning I get this error message when trying to patch. I played for the previous 3 days with no problem. My guess is that it's an administrator issue since I am playing on a new computer that I only had for a few days and I am playing on a user account without administrator privileges.

I what happens now is I run the launcher, get a popup that says there is a virtual store folder it wants to remove, click yes, get the error where it says cannot create a file that already exists, click repair, new error message where it says access to path is denied.

I am new to using Win7. Could someone give me some very easy step by step instruction on how to make sure CoH permissions are set correctly so it can (hopefully) patch? Right now I am about to try temp fix by turning on administrator privilege to that whole user account. But I would rather not have to do that every time there is a patch.

I just started playing again a few days ago. Everything ran smoothly until this morning when I got the same error message as the OP. Clicking repair does nothing.

A: Technically, yes...they could. Still, I think we'd prefer to hold off on these particular powers until we can deal with being able to customize the whole powerset. Otherwise we could paint ourselves into a corner by making the elemental weapons customizeable and then not being able to make the rest of the power FX customizeable because of that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey that sounds very nearly like a promise that you will get around to giving us power customization some day. WOOT!

For the sonic sets, I would like to have a selection of sounds to choose from rather then different colors. The current sounds really annoy me.

Sound customization might be a good idea for martial arts and super strength, as well. Since they don't have any colors to change. Grunt like an ogre or scream like a ninja, type of deal.

And while it doesn't really belong to power customization, it would be nice if we could pick footstep and breathing sounds for our characters as well.

Would slotting say 3 SO's and the remaining 3 slots with DO's of the same type (End redux) for example equate to more than 6 of the same SO though?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, you can not trick Ed by mixing DOs and SOs.

3 SOs is (effectivly) the max. Adding more DOs after that would infact contribute less then over slotting with SOs

It looks like the devs finally figured out how to count to one.

Single target attacks now hit only one target no matter how many you have stacked.

There might be a bug though. A couple times when I had a few stacked up, it would say "Readying attack", but then nothing. No hit, no miss, no nothing. Cone/AoE attacks worked fine there, but single target wouldn't do anything. I'll have to play with it some more and see what's going on.

I think I may cry. I'll have QA test it.

Is there any monster that could beat Kronos if Kronos got his swarm missles in?

try spawning Kronos on Lusca and see who wins, my bets on Lusca if Kronos gets too close.

[/ QUOTE ]

If several tentacles are aggroed, Kronos might be going down.

Now... how many luscas would it take to slay hamidon?

I'm not suprised. Not sure there is any monster or AV that babbage can defeat. He (It? Anyone sure what the clockwork king is imagining here?) don't hit very hard at all.

Don't look now, but the bug people aren't the only ones. My feline recombinant Stalker doesn't even bother wearing pants most of the time. Even Mynx pulls the Lady Godiva act, standing around all day in Skyway City wearing only a belt. Apparently, if you have enough body hair people don't seem to care if you're running around naked.

Works for sea creatures too. I got a mermaid running around naked with blueish-green skin

Yes, but the fact that in a few updates the 2 games will even out, is an important one. I am sure that CoV will have more zones/badges added on average, the next couple of updates.

In the long run, people who only own CoH will be the one getting the short end of the stick. Because of fewer costumes and more importantly(or perhaps less importantly), no SG bases.

I played as Siska (rad/kin corruptor) with my VG on Mercy 10, on original server, most of the evening. Some in my team saw Statesman briefly, then he vanished (ran? defeated? LD?). We did get to fight Synapse, Warwitch and Positron though.


The first and best fight was with Synapse. Me, UnSunny (brute, VG-mate) and one other villain got to fight him for atleast 30 second before others started slowly dropping in. Alot of insults raining back and forth on that one

Your Strawberries are cooked, pal!!

And Synapse had apperantly seen a wanted poster of my villain, because he claimed to recognise me, right away He must have some issues with hitting girls though. Because he didn't try even once. Either that, or being told how ugly he was, by UnSunny really pissed him off.


Later, Positron was rather buisy in a big heap of villains. I didn't have the chance to make him sorry, for his TF. But Warwitch was giving UnSunny (again, that guy was always in the middle of it) a hard time, at the same time. So I flew off and helped him.


Then we also fought alot of controlled GenericLongbow0000, of course.


Never spotted Manticore, Sister Psyche, BackAlley Brawler or Ms. Liberty

I remember putting recharge speed into every attack, even those that very already very fast. I also remember the behemoths in kings row, thought that was a part of a story line, but maybe not. And those constantly exploding mages, aaah!! I remember not undestanding the differense between defense and resists

Oddly enough, all the characters I actually play are female, even though I'm a guy. I don't make any secret of it outside the game, but inside the game I'd rather not deal with it. So I'm always careful to keep separation between character and player; when I-the-player have to do something, the character always says "My player has to..." And I'm always careful not to use gender pronouns.

The problem comes when I'm inviting characters from players I know are male, but forget the characters are female. I invariably refer to them as "he" and get the players mad at me. :P

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, if you're a female hero, I WILL refer to you as she/her. If you're a Male hero I will refer to you as he/him. I don't care if you tell me your rl gender. I will still use the proper pronouns for your hero.

This technically isn't possible with our engine. It would have to be a huge animated texture refreshing at 20+ frames per second.

We did think of it, but the engineers' eyeballs popped out of their sockets when we suggested it.

[/ QUOTE ]

How about having it refresh once every 5 seconds ? Or 10, or 15 or whatever. Would give it a bit of a reading a comic book feel, not exactly wrong .

Statesman jerk hacked our thread

I have no idea what makes anime style costumes different from any other costumes. But Im all for more dress options. So unless by "costume" they also mean FACIAL features I think it's great.

I would hate to see any mini mouthed, button nosed heros with oversized puppy dog eyes. Just doesn't fit with current faces
