Oh, that's counter intuitive, but I guess it has to be or the brute would clearly be better than the scrapper, at least until at their caps.

Open the Nvidia Control Panel and go to the advanced graphics settings page.
Scroll down the list and set your display mode to "single display performance".


I would also advise turning off occlusion.
I ebt it's causing issues shadows.

Well, the thing about occlusion is that it helps create more realistic shadows, but the shadows setting tries to do the same thing in a different way.

They have a little bit of an issue when they are both trying to work on the same shadows. That can cause big problems, but it may be a bit random as to when.

In Windows 7....

If you want to switch to other programs while running CoH you're best off running in windowed mode or disabling Aero. That should solve that issue as it did for me when I switched to windowed with W7 and a GTX 465.



Now, the black frames(flickering) can be greatly lessened and/or solved by turning off Vsync.

It solved the black frame issue I had anyway with only 2x FSAA and occlusion completely off.




MaximumPC stated, in one of the recent issues, that occlusions and FSAA do nto play well together and shadows doesn't play very well with occlusion either because they both try to do the same thing different ways that end up conflicting.

Turning off either FSAA or occlusion has helped some people already.



Try those solutions. If they don't work then I'm out of ideas right now.





Edit:
I just wish there was a solution for the insane 3k+ ping lag spikes for 30 seconds or so at completely random times. It isn't anything on my end because I have done all I can and made sure I'm the only user at times to make sure it wasn't that issue.

It tends to happen only when the server is empty in the late hours or really early hours. I even have much better stability when the server is full.

Actually, the damage enhancers do modify extra fury damage by modifying the damage fury modifies.


Fury is a percentage damage buff. So, if you slot your attacks to do double damage then fury at 200% buff will double that double damage to 400% instead of unslotted doubling up to 200%.

That's how percentages work.

I would call "using a lot of blues" an endurance problem.
You can't count on them dropping so best not to coutn on using them when you need them.

I'm betting the person you quoted also doesn't like to have to rely on inspirations either.



I am having no endurance issues on my shield brute, even before stamina. I'm rather shocked by that because all my other toons have had endurance issues.

I can't wait to see what this km/sd brute does later on.

Glad I remembered that tiny little snippet of information from MaximumPC that helped you.

I meant that con doesn't matter except in each individual case in game.

When we're trying to help someone here, who we can't tell the level of or has multiple characters at all levels, the best answer is "level 20+ bosses".

They can figure out for themselves what con color is easiest for them.



Are you just trying to "pick a fight" by picking everything apart to the most minute detail?


If all we ever gave were completely character specific answers to a single person with details that don't matter at all attached then nobody would be able to figure out what is the really important piece of information that can help them if they have the same issue.


Answering questions the most generally specific way while still solving the issue helps the most people solve their issues and learn how to solve future issues.

Oh, it's the "I don't care so you shouldn't care so you must be a troll" insane logic.

I never insulted you.


It looks like they changed the tool-tip and info screen recently, but forgot to change the detailed description then. That sucks.

I would expect the detailed description to be what a power is supposed to do.



Anyway, go away Neo.

I don't want your advice at all if all you're goign to do is insult me.

Actually, super strength isn't the best unless you can get perma-Rage.
Rage debuffs defense severely when Rage crashes, half your defenses about if capped.

Sure, you're likely perm at 50 and slotted, but you have to get there and avoid recharge debuffs.


Super strength also doesn't have that much to keep the enemy from hitting you. It does have knockdown, but no debuffs, little stun and all smashing damage which enemies resist most just like players prepare for.


I'm a fan of super strength too, but it just doesn't seem like the best for farming to me.
I don't know what is the best, but I wouldn't peg SS as it.

Well, all sappers wouldn't be as bad. They're not so hard when it's just their powers affectign you. Yes, they drain, but they don't do much damage.

They're aggravating alone and infuriating when they have friends.

Well, I can't tell his level from a forum post so I logically deduced that you meant everyone has to face white-con bosses or higher.

Either way, the con color of the enemy doesn't matter so it was pointless to bring it up.
