    My specs:

    Windows 7 64-bit
    Radeon HD 4890
    Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600
    4G RAM

    All settings are at max, and I haven't had that much lag, plus no fragmenting.

    And yet when loading a new area when I'm on a team, nothing loads except my team members and a few objects. No floor, no nothing, and I look like I'm falling in a loop.

    I tried turning my settings down, but it didn't help much.

    Cannot install

    POST-ACTION

    I really don't know how to describe the problem, but here's what I've been doing:

    First I uninstalled not only City of Heroes, but the NCSoft installer. Then, I installed the game through Steam. Once that was done, it made me install the latest NCSoft installer. Using that, I could update City of Heroes, but every time I try to do so, it says "Encountered an error during last operation". No matter how many times I repair, it gives me the same thing. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help either, and I've done it 3 times.

    Can't decide on a cape for this guy. Yes I already have a cape but it's just more flames and it looks really redundant and bland. So I need a different design that isn't flames. I've tried every design, and none of them look particularly dashing. I also need a color scheme. And no I won't just go without one.

    Feel free to tell me how horrible my toon looks otherwise. Because that's just, like, your opinion man.

    I was on 11.5 and never had any crashes, ever. Then I updated to 11.6. Kept crashing every hour. So I rolled back to 11.2 and the damn game STILL crashes every hour.

    I'm still getting corrupt textures after only half an hour of play. Speedfan isn't helping, because I don't know how to use the damn thing.

    I did. It resets to no ripples after I log.

    Level 1 power pick, Smite.
    Kinetic Combat Knockback chance in the (A)utomatically assigned slot. Mako put in the slots assigned at 3, 5, 15, 23 and 39.
    Why does slot level matter, and what does it do?

    1. Usually builds posted on the forums have the number of slots and what goes in the slots next to every power. But what do the numbers next to every slot mean, as well as (A)?

    2. If I buy the Martial Arts pack and get Ninja Run, do I even want Super Speed? Or any travel power at all?

    MQ water is too much for my rig to handle. I get tons of lag and sometimes it crashes. LQ water runs perfectly fine though. So I keep it on that. Normally, LQ water looks like this:



    However, when I switch from MQ to LQ, it looks like this:



    I looked back at MQ water, and it doesn't look any different from this. So why do I get lag and why does it do this?

    Yes, and no.

    I have an ATI Radeon HD 4800. Now that's out of the way. I think it might have fried. I can run City of Heroes fine, but earlier the textures rapidly started fizzing out and changing to other stuff. I restarted, and the same thing happens.

    I read another thread that offered suggestions, like running Speedfan. But that's not going to help if it looks like this:



    I tried some other games, and there are some very minor issues like textures fidgeting instead of glitching, but that's never happened before anyway.

    Architect just doesn't cut it for me. NOBODY does actual missions on the Freedom server, they're all powerleveling or farming in Architect. It's stupid and boring.

    Is there a server with MINIMAL people in Architect, that doesn't have Freedom's population but still has more than 5 people log on every day?

    Alright, I fixed it. Turns out the problem was the water. I can max everything else, but water can't be above low quality or else the lag goes insane. Depth of field caused lots of lag too, so I turned that off.

    I hope NCSoft optimizes the water better eventually.

    The Steam version says it includes City of Heroes/Villains, but all I see is Going Rogue. Please tell me I don't have to download a second client...

    Also, I tried logging in and going through the tutorial. I decided to upgrade the graphics...my specs are beast, so I could've SWORE they could handle it. I pushed the graphics to max on everything, and it was extremely slow. After that, I decided to lower everything, so I pushed "set to default". The game freezes, stops all sounds, and then black screen with loading mouse symbol. I logged in again, tried it again, and still it crashes. So now, I can't play Going Rogue without lagging horribly.

    It also does this just by playing max settings for a few seconds.
