I've been crashing on a regular basis too. I made a thread here, with not much luck so far. I also sent in a ticket, but no response; which is extremely frustrating. I feel like I have been duped out of $15 at this point. I downgraded my drivers, I lowered the graphics quality of the game despite being able to run it at higher quality with no problems in the frame rate (just constant crashes)... nothing is fixing the issue. I just came back from being AFK for 45 minutes or so, where the game was alt-tabbed out of for that time period, and my whole computer was locked up. This is ridiculous.

Rolling back the drivers has made the problems occur less often, but my computer still locked up after being alt-tabbed out of the game for a prolonged period of time.
Like I said in my original posts, all my temperatures are perfectly fine. This isn't faulty software/hardware on my end. -

I started a thread on the AMD dev forums about the problem located here: http://forums.amd.com/devforum/messa...&enterthread=y
as of yet there's been only one other person... EVER... to post in that thread besides me.
Wouldn't mind having more data to give AMD, but for the most part, many of the subscribers here just don't seem to like the idea of actually doing anything to get driver problems addressed.
If you are interested in trying to help out in getting AMD the information, please go post in the AMD forum thread with your hardware and software specifications. -
I uninstalled my old driver then installed the 4th rev of the driver. Then I restarted my computer.
I was able to alt tab out of the game without my computer freezing up, but after ~30 minutes, when I went back in to the game(which was in the middle of character creation), the game was frozen and I had to close it and restart it to get back in to the game.
I'll report more on my problems as I continue in the game. Thanks again, all! -

Try using a driver that isn't known to have issues with the game. -
I also sent in a ticket to official tech support, but I figured that asking for help on the forums wouldn't hurt.
Quote:Do note that I currently run the game in windowed mode, usually with 115% UI scale, on recommended graphics settings.Hi.
I recently bought the VIP starter pack for City of Heroes.
When I play it, the whole game randomly freezes. It used to happen a lot, but when I turned the graphics down to recommended settings, it happens less often now - but it still does happen.
When I say "freeze", I mean the game didn't close or crash - it just froze, and when I started clicking on it, the window grayed out. I have sometimes waited quite a while, but it never unfroze. I had to force close it.
When the graphics were above recommended, it froze constantly. Now that they are at recommended, it only usually freezes about 25% of the time whenever it is loading from map to map.
The even bigger problem is how it causes my computer to lock up. A lot of the time, if I keep the game open but not focused(i.e. alt tab to view browser) for a prolonged period of time, my whole computer locks up. I can't do anything - not even press ctrl+alt+delete or move my mouse. I have to force shut down my computer to stop the issue.
A specific example of my computer locking just happened to me. I turned my computer on, and it loaded rather quickly(as usual). After it finished loading, I opened up my browser and the NCSoft Launcher. I launched City of Heroes. I logged in, and alt-tabbed back to my browser. After ~10 minutes, my whole computer locked up. This has only happened once or twice before, and only when City of Heroes is open. I had to force shut down and turn back on my computer to fix the issue.
My computer is a beefy gaming computer that I bought, custom built, only a couple months ago. I have been able to play games that are a lot more resource-intensive on max graphic quality without issues. But City of Heroes, for whatever reason, causes these extremely frustrating issues.
I have never had any issues like this with any game, let alone with my computer. I have checked my computer's temperatures intensively while the game is running, as well as right after I turn it on after the game locking up. My temperatures are unchanged. My computer runs very nicely thanks to the liquid cooling system I have.
This locking up is obviously not a problem with overheating, nor is it a problem with faulty hardware.
All my drivers are the latest from the manufacturer.
Please help me!
I am really enjoying my time on City of Heroes, and I surely don't want my $15 to go to waste. Thanks a lot; I hope to hear from you soon!
My computer is a custom built 2 month old gaming beast that hasn't had any other problems whatsoever with anything, especially games.
Processor: Intel i5-2500k
Graphics Card: Radeon HD 6950
Cooling: Astek Liquid Cooling
Hard Drive: Main one is a small SSD, but the one CoH is on is a 750 GB HD with 64mb cache at 7200rpm.
I am open to suggestions, questions, or other people's experiences that may be related to mine. Thanks all for the help, it's highly appreciated.
