    Do you have Windows Update set to automatically download and install updates?

    I got tired of being helpless in this issue, so I just looked up how to do a roll-back to a few days ago without using their dinky tool (use F4 when restarting). It showed me that Windows did indeed install an update at 4AM. It was 3 of the "HIGHLY CRITICAL" updates that windows seems to roll out each week or so. It fixed the problem completely. Thanks for all the help everybody!

    I just don't know which one it was that had ended up messing with my machine. And do you think there's a way I could safely download it it now, or what?

    If not:

    If you do not have a cable handy, can you think of anything that might happen at the same times you lag?

    Cordless phones ringing, sometime cellular phones ringing, and microwaves are the common culprits. Are you close enough to neighbors where their use of these things might be occurring? (If you are in an apartment, it is very likely. If a house, not so much but it depends on if you are at an outside wall and how close your neighbors are.)

    Also, you could borrow your roommates cable to verify it isn't the wireless.
    Roomie is using the same wireless as I am, on the same farm with me, and not lagging. He's performing as well as I was yesterday. And the only thing that happens differently is that there's more mobs on the screen and CoH starts to use 3gigs of ram


    Edit: I just did a BAF and Lambda, with no lag whatsoever. I figured something may have fixed itself so I tried the Crey's Fire Farm and I lagged till there were only 3 mobs left standing around me (I couldn't see what was going on because it was a still frame, but I clicked my powers as if I could and it seemed to mostly work). The less mobs that are actively moving in my field of vision and attacking (it looks to be) the less lag I have. I just don't understand what caused the sudden onset of this disease.

    A: I'm sure there probably is but I don't know how and google most likely does. Which one should I specify to use? I would guess the nVidia chipset.

    The other thing I notice is the Intel PROSet Wireless entries. Are you running this using wireless or do you have a wired ethernet connection to your router or modem? If it is wireless, you could be getting interference. Try connecting it with ethernet instead and see if the conditions continue.
    A: I don't have an ethernet cable handy (using wireless, obviously) but I suspect that this isn't the cause. It was working fine with both of us side-by-side last night and he went to sleep before I did and I woke up before him so he didn't change anything...

    But those two areas are where I'd start looking if it were a computer on my workbench that I was working on.

    Thanks guys. I'm gonna try to figure some of this out. And I'm running wireless about 5 feet away from the router/modem and no one else in the apartment is having troubles with the internet.

    I've been running farms in Atlas's AE (on just-not-quite Ultra Mode) all yesterday. All was good and I went to bed. I woke up to farm again and I get to the first mob and just faceplant because of the lag. I tried again with graphics turned almost completely off and nothing changed. My roommate plays with me and he had to tell me that I had died about a minute before I saw it locally. His internet is having no problems. I tried uninstalling CoH, reinstalling, installing the latest drivers, deactivating my fire walls, virus protection, etc. Nothing works and I didn't change a thing since last night. I did notice that whenever it lags I open the task manager and it'll be using anywhere from 2 - 3gigs of RAM. Probably shouldn't be that high. I've heard about the launcher having a leak, so I close that as soon as I can and it doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated.

    Dearest Masque,

    Do you think it would be possible for you to whip up a build for my up-and-coming elec/mind dom? I'd love you forever and ever and ever if you did so.

    Love,
    Tiz

    I take it the last time you pvp'd was before issue 13? Because nowadays no one brings a tray full of break frees anymore. Controllers were always top tier in pvp, it's a lack of understanding on your part to know why. However with the changes, controllers can still be good, it's just understanding your role in a team setting.

    But to answer these questions, you really have to understand what Issue 13 did to the archetypes. More or less, controllers add in a degree of disruption and damage. Depending on your primary and secondary some will way outshine others.

    Whenever we actually run classes we can help you with some of the understanding.

    But to answer your specifics:

    Em/Nin stalker does well
    Ill/Storm does pretty well
    Sonic/MM blaster does well
    Mind/Elec dom does very well

    And I suppose the SS/Will brute can do well if you know what to pick. (Taunt, webnades)
    Funnily enough, you picked four out of five of my favorite toons. (Who plays Ill/storm anyways?). I like my dom because the control she has, and the fact that I like the electricity. It seems to me like it does a fair amount of damage compared to fire, and it also has a chance to drain end, etc. I might just be totally wrong, but I hit the proverbial jackpot.

    Thanks for the help.

    So, I'm kinda new to the whole "forum" thing, as well as the whole "PvP" thing. A few questions:

    I would assume that controllers are pretty uh.. not-good at PvP based on the fact that everyone and their mother walks around with a tray full of BFs and our damage output is pretty terrifyingly low. Maybe I'm just not doing it right, or what, but I can't seem to have any luck in PvP on my old controllers. But I might have just tried to PvP in a bad time for controllers, I dunno.

    Second Question:
    I've got a few toons floating around at 30ish or 40ish, and I can't decide which one I should take up to do some PvP with. They are as follows:

    Dish Pan Hands: Level 41ish Energy Manipulation/Nin Stalker
    Mental Maiden: Level 42ish Illusion/Storm Controller
    Cholorokin: Level 32 Plant/Kinetics Controller
    Elkin: Level 35ish Illusion/Kinetics Controller
    Psy Wren: Level 32 Sonic/Mental Blaster
    Beating Maiden: Level 44ish Super Strength/Willpower Brute
    Mutinia: Level 20ish Dual Pistols/Mental Blaster
    Sparking Maiden: Level 32 Electric/Mind Control Dominator

    I'm not really sure what my role would be in a PvP match on any of my given characters. Would I be out to beat people up?? I dunno, really. It's just all so intimidating what with IOs and stuff like that. To be honest, I'm lucky if my characters have any sort of enhancements in them, and doubly so if they're valid at any given level. :X


    Thanks for all the help that I'm sure will be forthcoming!
