    Sure.

    I think it's mostly because it's got a bind to Keypad 1 already, that the macro won't differentiate between Ctr-Keypad 1 and Keypad 1 normally. Or I could just settle for always moving my Drones and Assault Bot with Keypad 1, and give the Assault Bot overriding orders via Keypad 3.

    Indeed I have! Still won't work.

    Hey folks. Been using Sandolphan's pet controls like it was the best thing since sliced bread, but I've been lacking a bit in the control of minions. Mostly, Robotics' Assault Bot and Battle Drones I thought could benefit from being selected as one group, but the occasional finesse selection would still be appreciated. So, I figured, I could set up a text file for selecting the Assault and Battle Drones together, like so:

    numpad3 "bind_load_file C:\CoX_binds\Robot.Assault.txt$$em stop$$local Now, my bruiser...!"
    However, on loading the Robots.txt file, and hitting numpad1, I select the Battle Drones as the normal script allows, rather than selecting the Drones and the Assault Bot. What gives? What am I doing wrong?

    Anyone care to help me debug?

    Honestly, I can imagine this being an easy thing to overlook. Heck, I had forgotten about it, myself!

    Update! Apparently, a wistful 'wish I could read them bios' had me in touch with a random dude/-ette who helped me with brainstorming. In the end, they linked me to this post and thread:

    And whaddayaknow! It works! After that, it's simply been a process of elimination.

    In the end, I could activate all running processes, except three innocuous processes I had entirely overlooked. In the weekend, I had installed a scanner software suite for my, well, scanner, between playing CoX before and after this whole mess. Apparently, that caused CoX to totally go on the friz. In fact, activating the processes CyberLink MediaLibrary Service, ScanSoft Ltd's Ereg Application and Omnipage SE caused me to go back to crashing CoX under pretty much a stiff breeze again. Turn that bloody stuff off, and it was smooth sailing again.

    So! Round of applause to @The X, and thank you all in this thread for at least trying to help me out here. Finally, many thanks to a supportive tech support staff for handling my ticket.

    Thanks, tried all that. Vertical synching does net me a bit of a performance boost in my limited gameplay state. Sadly, defragging didn't help either.

    Unless the tech support folks find out what's wrong with my game or my rig, I might have to consider formatting my machine and starting over from scratch again

    I'm at a loss as to what to suggest from here.

    Sorry I couldn't help you find a solution.
    Oh, the game can load in Safe Mode. And I can totally crank up the character detail. But again, tampering with world rendering, shadows, or doing anything at all to progress in the game proper causes my game to crash. I'll look into how I can best cap all my graphical settings in my 'normal' mode. Probably via screencaps, I'm thinking.

    EDIT: Definitely, definitely screencaps. Actually, let's link it, because tall image is tall. And keep in mind, this is reduced graphical settings despite the fact I could run ultra comfortably before.

    I've managed to snag a standard Windows error report out of this particular bug, maybe that'll help the techies over at NCsoft; apparently, one of my characters is logged off with the Contacts pane open. The game will immediately crash upon loading.

    The only thing that I can imagine blocking CoH Helper is my virus scanner: that is to say, Microsoft Security Essentials. Why it wouldn't show up on the HijackThis report, however, is anyone's guess.

    Your suggestion to remove the Wacom tablet is also an odd one, since this problem came up recently and I have played the game just dandy for a little over a month without issues, including with the tablet plugged in. However, I have run all three of your suggestions in order - plug out the tablet, to no effect; disable the tablet via services.msc, to no effect; uninstalling the tablet software, also to no effect.

    Actually, come to think of it, the only difference in playing before is having used avast! anti-virus software rather than MSE, but I wanted to give MSE a go. Let's disable that a moment and see if that caused CoH Helper to be blocked.

    EDIT: Aaand the verdict is in: MSE does not block the registry, so I just can't get the CoH Helper tool to get my game settings. At all. It might be related to this issue I'm having currently, but you'd think two fresh installs would've fixed it by now.

    I've received a proper support ticket last night suggesting I'd at least update my vid drivers. So I will, and I will keep you lot posted.

    EDIT: And updating my video drivers did nothing to remededy my situation. Again, the most curious thing is that the game crashed on loading NPC portraits. So $target info prompts, no NPC interaction, lest my game crashes. Sounds more like a technical and rendering issue than anything else.

    Anyway, HijackThis report log. This time without quote box. Which makes it harder to read, I'd say, but hey, forums conventions.

    My bad, babby's first forray into this forum. I'll try to keep that in mind for later.

    Indeed, the program gave an error message about not being able to read CoX's registry information proper, despite running in Admin mode. Already suspect, I'd say. I'll install HijackThis shortly and give a dump of that.
  12. The Dinictus
    Having further examined the extent of my problems, I've come across the following issues:

    Running the game in as-is Safe Mode, the game worked.

    Increasing the resolution and allowing the game to run in windowed mode, the game could run.

    Changing character model details resulted in no crash.

    Changing shadow rendering from Safe Mode, or texture resolution, or bumpmapping, or worldmapping, caused the game to crash.

    In fact, I'm pretty sure the game can't even load character portraits, because initiating NPC contact or using a $target info caused the game to crash.

    After this, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game. Now I cannot boot up the game anymore into Safe Mode either.

    This is getting ridonkulous

    EDIT: Safe Mode functionality restored. Still boned otherwise to be playing City of Lego, crashing under a stiff breeze.

    Well, until this thread is closed, new thread is up here.

    And, as promised, the CoH Helper output.

    Hey folks. I've been having some very, very recent issues with this game that I prior did not have at all, and was wondering if the good folks of Tech Support could be of service. While this thread was previously posted in Players Questions, I've reposted this thread here, with updated information and a few questions from another user with their answers.

    Anyway, as I'm booting up my NCsoft launcher and immediately boot up CoX, where I'm greeted with a static loadscreen... that won't update. It won't load the login prompt. It won't do anything. It sits there, mutedly and silently, not loading anything, and eventually, crashing after a quick Ctr-Alt-Del for the Vista Task Manager or even an Alt-Tab.

    Odd. Never had this before. I mean, even during a server maintenance the game is more responsive. Now I get nothing.

    So I figured I could fix this via verifying my game files and loading again after a reboot of my desktop, but that seems to do nothing, either. I'm still met with a silent, static load screen, and no prompt for logging in loading at all.

    Stupidly enough, it does run in Safe Mode, windowed and well. But it's rather suspect that the game goes wonky like it did.

    The desktop is a Medion rig with an Intel i7-2600 dual core CPU @ 2x3.40 GHz, 8 gigs of RAM, running 64-bits Windows Vista. Further information available upon request, but general storage space and graphical card ought to be no problem, as I ran the game normally before. The proper CoH-helper output will be provided in the next post.

    I've also tried running the game in Safe Mode, which seems to load the login prompt just dandy. However, upon upping my resolution from 800x600 to 1680x1050 windowed from the Safe Mode menu options, the login window decides to spaz out and crash. What the devil is going on?

    Forums user EmperorSteele asked me a few questions relating to my problems in my previous thread, which I'll provide the answers for below:

    Q: When was the last time CoH worked without a problem?
    A: Literally hours before. Game worked dandy up to 14:00 GMT. Later in the afternoon, I tried to boot up the game to no avail.

    Q: In the time between then and now, is it possible that changes may have been made to your system via a virus or family member?
    A: No with regards to family; not at all. Virus scanner is up to date and has scanned my rig just yesterday: it came up quite clean.

    Cheers for that, Steele. I'll provide a copy of this thread over at the Tech Support forum, with a dump, and see what I'll get there.

    As for your questions, my usual games which are a wee bit more demanding on the ol' graphics card seem to run normally, no changes there.

    The last time I ran CoX without a hitch was today, around 13:00 GMT. This problem occured literally without warning or any justifiable cause.

    No such changes have occured, and I keep my virus utilities up to date daily. I have received no warnings of viral infections, as per my most recent scan yesterday.

    I'll provide these questions/answers in the new thread as well, so I guess I'll close this thread shortly, or with a link to the new thread and then close it proper.

    I guess little more can be done than loading up Safe Mode and loading my usual game settings?

    EDIT: Scratch that, upping my resolution from 800x600 to 1680x1050 windowed from the Safe Mode menu options causes the login window to spaz out and crash. What the devil is going on?
