Sounds to me like the monitor doesn't like to run outside of it's native resolution. I'd say you have three choices:
1: change resolutions till you find one it likes, you'll probably end up with something distorted/stretched though.
2: Upgrade your video card
3: Switch back to the old monitor.

Rename CohUpdater.exe, UAC is triggering off the "updater" in the name. Or launch the game by bypassing the updater altogether, and running the updater only on patch days.

Running the 32bit RC on my laptop, all programs installed on a non-OS partition and CoH runs fine. I also dual boot XP Pro on the same machine and see no real performance difference between the two in-game.

Could be a 64bit thing, a buddy of mine experienced something similar, he never did figure out what caused it, but a reinstall of win7 mysteriously fixed it.

I think Double Fusion just walked away from us. Theres a game on the PS3 that caused a mini uproar over ads being introduced to loading screens that had their name mentioned several times.

Like any good advertising company, they had to piss people off by extending loading times to fit the oversize ads they put in, just to make extra sure people noticed them. The ads have since since been limited to fit within the normal load times of the game though, I believe.

Can't remember the name of the game, but I wanna say one of the Wipeout sequels.

Edit:

The game was Wipeout HD. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/so...wipeout-advert

Link also includes a side by side comparison of load times for the curious.

They'd also likely pay for another 60 months without the offer. A lifetime sub at this point in the game's life would be financial suicide, or so expensive it'd be more economical to pay monthly.

No, the offer for Champions is only good till the end of the month, I believe, and will likely never be offered in that game again either. It's an incentive to get players quickly, and get a bunch of money back to further development. It's pretty much a reward for those willing to roll the dice and invest a semi large chunk of cash on an unproven product.

Offering something like that 5 years on would probably be greatly detrimental to the game at this point, all the long term players would immediately jump on it and start putting the pinch on the devs later as their income started to dry up.

Not really. Lately the developers have attempted to consolidate the tailor into something a little easier to use, they've created new categories and moved items between them.

What you are seeing is the game not being able to find the items on your costume in the location it used to be in, and giving you a generic piece in it's place. Reset works if it can find the old piece in the new location, but that doesn't always work.

I have many characters like this myself, I took screenshots of them and then recreated them as close as possible. I wouldn't rely on the save costume feature alone for long term, I still write down the pieces by hand to ensure I can fix any more changes to the tailor with the least amount of digging.

You should have a stockpile of free tokens to compensate for all the changes, and you can choose to pay with one of those instead of paying with influence.

.\ is a shortcut to the root coh folder as well.

/bindloadfile .\mybind.txt would load mybind.txt from the c:\program files\city of heroes folder (or wherever you installed it)

or even /bindloadfile .\subfolder\mybind.txt

That's nice that they shaved a few seconds off a page load, but they keep removing/mucking up core features I use, and adding features I don't. I remember when their goal was a light bare bones browser that you added the features you wanted, but it's on the path to turning into netscape again.

As soon as I find a nice light browser that supports something like noscript, I'll switch. Don't get me wrong, FF is a nice browser and I recommend it to others... it's just not what I want in a browser anymore.

But I don't want this to be a threadjack, I just asked for a link from someone advertising another browser.

Sounds interesting. If it has a plugin like NoScript, and isn't adding bloat with each patch like FF has been, I'd be interested in trying it out. Got a link handy?

Which is good advice for any pre-release software. Win7 may be better than most MS retail releases at this point, but it's still a pre-release and should only be used by the adventurous.

The problems experienced above are unfortunate, but to be expected. I've been perfectly satisfied with how the RC has run on my machines, but I'll agree it's not ready for the masses. It's close, and obviously MS agrees since it hits retail in Oct.

There seems to be a lot of venom on both sides, which is silly. It's pre-release, there's bound to be issues... Can this thread die now?

Odd, I've had the opposite results. I've run CoH under both the Win7 beta and RC, and it's been nothing but flawless. Dual booting XP, I'm seeing comparable performance between them.

You must have had some driver issues, which is unfortunate. Win7 is the first Windows OS I will willingly upgrade to as soon as it's available.

I don't believe so. I remember one of the old dev written "news articles" where the city council wanted to tear them down because they were not needed since the rikti threat was gone. I think it was supposed to be a teaser, but it was badly timed... by the time it was posted, the issue where the Rikti returned had already gone to the test server and ruined it.

I think that the devs really had no intention of removing the war walls, it was meant to forward the story and got obliterated by really bad timing.
