    My usual outfit has a skirt, so that counts
    If it was a No Pants day event, skirts don't count.

    From the FAQ:

    Quote:

    1. What in the world is No Pants Day?

    No Pants Day is a day where everyone, be they students, respectable businessmen, or cherished community leaders, leave their pants behind. Usually this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well.
    and

    4. So I can wear a skirt instead? or “Hey, no problem, I was gonna wear a dress anyways!
    ”

    You’re very clever, but you’re missing the point. Articles of clothing like skirts, shorts, kilts, and dresses don’t count, because people are encouraged to revel in the absence of pants, and not replace pants with other clothing. The point is to relax and enjoy the humor inherent in people not wearing pants. A good rule of thumb is to pretend like you were going to wear pants, and then just fail to put them on.

    Several of my characters have Hamidon raid outfits. The Hami raids are the only places they are used.

    But in my case, it isn't dressing up, it's dressing down. One of my characters is well-known for her Hami outfit.

    Justice used to have the Sexy Hami Aggro teams in Pre-I9 raids, where the Aggro team wore bikinis, briefs, etc.

    We've also had No Pants Hami raids run on No Pants Day, Green costume raids for St. Patrick's Day, and other similarly themed raids.

    This is one of the things that has made it so difficult for them to track down the cause of the problem and find a fix.

    It's very random, and even when it does happen it doesn't always happen after the exact same steps. When you can't reliably duplicate an issue, or sometimes even get it to occur at all, it's rather hard to find the cause and fix it.

  7. Or you could right-click on the enhancement and select Info to find out what it does. Also, no matter the origin or the name of the enhancement, they are listed in exactly the same order in each origin store (the same goes for the multi-origin stores, they are just also sorted by origin first)

    Yes, it could matter. Some servers refuse to allow connections when the date and time are too far out of range. In most cases that I've seen it's an attempt at software piracy prevention, or at least an attempt to not allow counterfeit versions of software to be updated.

    Since I've seen it occur using ASP and .Net both, and knowing that the Launcher uses .Net, it was a possibility.

    Most of the other searches I find for that specific error message are issues dealing with WSUS, NDS, LDAP, Silverlight, BITS and MIME types, and even downloading and installing Resident Evil 5 of all things.

    This may be something you need to contact Support about if no one can offer a quick solution. It's the first time I've seen this reported with this game.
  9. This may sound silly and may not be related to the problems you are having, but have you checked to make sure that your Date and Time are correct on your computer?
  10. Are you connecting wirelessly or using ethernet?

    Try posting the results from CoH Helper and HiJackThis and we might be able to find some settings you can adjust to get a slightly better experience. Links are in the stickied [Guide] Asking for technical help on the forums thread in this section.

    Since it is Windows 7, be sure to right-click CoH Helper after downloading it and selecting Run as Administrator.

    I must be either missing these points or missing where to see them.

    Many thanks
    You can't see them yet. Once Freedom launches you will be able to see them in the Paragon Market.

    Hmmm. If Hyperstrike's suggestions don't resolve things, you'll likely have to read the heading for this forum section.

    Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs Discuss gameplay / technical issues or bugs here! This is NOT a forum where official technical/QA support is available. For technical assistance email support@coh.com.
  15. Since you were able to launch in Safe Mode, that means it was likely a graphics setting causing the problems.

    I'd recommend starting in Safe Mode again, going into Options/Graphics and change settings one-by-one, clicking the Apply button between each change and rebooting the game if it requests it, in order to find which setting is causing the hang.

    EDIT: The Helper/Help Me setting box comes up on any character that has not logged in since that feature was introduced. Why they worded it as they did, since they knew it would pop up for "not new" characters is something that was never explained on the forums.
  16. Can you launch the game in Safe Mode? Using the NCSoft Launcher this is done by right-clicking the name of the game in the Launcher window, selecting Properties, and then putting a check mark in the Launch in Safe Mode box, clicking OK and then launching the game.

  18. I have headsets that I've used for over 5 years that are still working fine. I have a few newer ones as well that still work just like they did when I bought them.

    One of the few that I have that doesn't work fell out of the carry bag attached to the rear back rest on my motorcycle.

    or closer to home, the best way to avoid xp debt is not to play?

    your solution is to justify bad design and poor coding as an acceptable hazard of the game experience

    we are here to fight super villains not bad game development


    DEVS FIX THE PROBLEM
    No, that isn't what OV said at all. All that the post was doing is giving a bit more data (that with large league sizes the last few get kicked) and providing a temporary work-around for players until the Devs can find the cause of the problem and design a fix for it.

    But then, OV doesn't seem to have some type of Vendetta going on.

    Now, if you're not getting 0% or 100%, yeah, something is going on with that node then.
    Something else to consider. Some ISP's block other traffic on their networks. I can't do traceroutes, pathpings, or anything more than a simple ping for troubleshooting network issues. For me, everything past the public IP on the ISP's equipment is showing as Request timed out on a tracert and the pathping ends at that public IP as well.

    Personally not had any problems with the latest drivers, but then my card is much more recent than yours. Often past a certain point, new drivers can either simply no longer improve performance on older cards or actually degrade performance as the manufacturers don't really bothered testing against the hardware as rigorously any more.
    This pretty much says it all. I've tested with both the 9500 GT and 8500 GT cards in XP systems at work and the 197.45 driver seems to run a bit smoother than anything I've tested in the 2xx.xx series.

    It's basically a combination of the older card and older OS as well as the fact that most testing is done for DirectX graphics rather than OpenGL that CoH uses.

    Update your video drivers. Using Windows XP and that video card, I recommend trying the 197.45 drivers instead of the more current 2xx.xx series of drivers.

    Of course, you should follow proper video card driver uninstall/safe mode cleaning/install procedures using a program such as Driver Sweeper.
