Quote:Desk? you people have DESKS?!?!Originally Posted by Eldritch_Knight
When I was up north, I had this beautiful glass desk; however, having moved, I'm stuck using an old sewing desk as my computer desk.
I'm basically sitting on the floor with one of those "as seen on tv" computer tables that has a built-in fan, fold out legs, and an LED goose-neck light. So if you wonder what I mean by numb-butt ingame, it has Nothing to do with my daily activities. ;-p -

Dammit. It was a typo! How long is that incident going to be held against me?
Nobody faults the manufacturer of the spellchecker... which, incidentally, I use on all my communications use. Nobody blames the IT department for not responding to my ticket requesting a new keybooard when things started sticking WEEKS before the incident. Heck, what about the boys at the print shop that handled the request for that "Happy Birthday" banner! Shouldn't they have doublechecked the proof? -

Well, it wasn't getting to the point of using the checksum. I finally got it to work by rebooting (again) and starting up the launcher and just leaving it alone. As long as I didn't click the UPDATE button I was able to exit and restart it normally. Eventually I opened it and it said "ready to play". At that point I could start normally and let it go thru and check the updates.
Weird. -

Thing is, on a Win7 machine, you can't have 3.51 active if you don't have the stuff for 2.0 on there. I found this out the hard way with a client a while back.

Did we perhaps not click the button at the login point to tie it to your account atleast once or perhaps after the recent update it's forgotten to check for the local bind file?

The devs have said that, at its height, about 10% of the population had entered a PVP zone.
Not that they were PVP players or anything. Just that they'd entered the zones and used the arena.
I'd suspect that i13 put a major dent in these numbers.
So...what happened in i13 as that's when I previously "retired"? -

I don't have the market, salvage, crafting or other interfaces open at the moment.
One thing I REALLY wish they'd fix. The e-mail message list. It's too fricking tiny and non-resizeable. -

Mine is very traditional.
Only exception to this, is that I also usually monitor: last hit chance, ranged/melee defence and damage bonus.
And yes, my inspiration tray has to be nice and tidy

Quote:This give or take how many tokens you've racked up...I had to selectively re-unlock any toons I wanted to play. I also lost access to any of the ATs that are listed as "VIP Content" in the market, my pretty golden label here, access to post in about half the forums, and loss of my Avatar/Signature.Originally Posted by OutaControl
I have had my credit card renewed so I have first hand knowledge.
1. all of your characters become locked, you have to unlock them using your "global unlocks" that any "free" or VIP player can use. you can unlock an existing character or create a new one.
2. IOs and ATOs or any crafted IO will no longer work for you as if your slot was empty.
3. you can't email, AH, AE or use your SG base. not sure if you can trade anything but I know that nothing you can't use can be traded/gifted with you.
when you do finally put a new credit card on, your characters still look locked but when you try to unlock them it doesn't ask you if you want to use one of your global unlocks anymore and then you can play them as usual. -

Doesn't NCLauncher need .NET 2.0 to run? It sounds like a problem with .NET being all wonky.

In this case a full screen shot would probably do wonders...I haven't a clue as to what's even pushing this window to the screen.

Try deleting client.chksum in your CoX directory, then load the launcher and push update.

Quote:6? Heh, I remember seeing Atlas/RWZ 10...12...etc before on Pinn. I forget what was going on (likely 2xp), but it's been a while.Originally Posted by Darth_Khasei
ROFLMAO!!! Freedom gets pretty laggy during those high volume times for sure. 6 Atlas' can have a negative effect on enjoyment due to lag. Say no to server merger.

Quote:Well to be honest, by updates I meant corrections and revisions made by BadgeHunter and what turned into the Titan Network. :-DOriginally Posted by Aggelakis
Oh yeah, the original contents were ditched ages ago. Not even any nostalgia from it, cos half the crap in there was wrong anyway.

There is no 'P' in hamster. Or were you combining hamster and hamper, to refer to some sort of laundry rodent?

Quote:This is pretty much how I run any WinOS anymore as I've got hardware protection on the router + paid-support software to help keep things clean. Considering I'm not a member of the lightyear-high nets club, then I'm generally fine to shut those off if I need to for installations even. :-pOriginally Posted by Kheldarn
Technically, you are the second user on the computer. There's a default that's there and hidden, for tech support stuffs.
I'd disable the UAC entierly, as long as you're a safe web surfer. Your AV program and firewall should handle things fine without it. -
Eh, just give us a combat practice room type already. ;-)

Quote:Yeah, I will admit to purchasing said binder, but have summarily discarded it over time as I didn't feel like wasting trees on the updates that sorta came, but didn't.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Hehe. Yeah, that's the "updatable manual" that they put out...and then never put updates out for. Good job, Cryptic.
It currently holds printouts of the zones from vidiotmaps and character builds from Mids'. -
Quote:Honestly, I've never had an issue with the Launcher taking up an unacceptible amount of resources. Most the time I have it set to auto-close, but now and then I test things for others and accidentally leave the settings defaulted only to find it sitting in the background quietly. Granted, I'm using XP x86 w/ 4Gb RAM and only a 256Mb GPU, but it still doesn't give me any trouble. Many people don't seem to be as lucky, hense why the suggestion is to normally leave it closed after launch.Originally Posted by Arkyaeon
I've encountered the launcher not responding after CoH has been played on all my computers. I have to force it to close then reopen it.
Might as well not have the option to minimize to tray... -
With the enormous amount of information here one can deduce the following possibilities:
1) Underpowered GPU;
2) Insufficient RAM;
3) Overheating GPU;
4) Windows 7 hates you;
5) You forgot to give the hampster beer again;
Lookup COH Helper and HiJack This on the forums for instructions on how to post their output as that seems to be the number one request in these cases. -
Could be just me, but I can't read those screenshots very well. That and "Holy Icon Ranch, Batman!"
Checkout the two write ups in my signature. See if you can figure it out from there, if not then let us know either way.
Edit: Where'd my Signature go?!?!

Quote:For one that doesn't get around to all the tid bits of info, this is definitely a good thing to hear about. This has likely led to more stable server performance.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
The main thing is. They've already spoken up about this. The "servers" are running in a virtualized manner now. So it doesn't really cost them any extra to have 20 servers than it does to have 10 servers.
And, as hardware capability increases, this is just going to get easier and cheaper for them. -
Quote:Yes, the launcher is a completely separate entity and can be fully uninstalled. Make sure to delete any registry entries for it and any lingering files before you reinstall. If you need help configuring it to play the game post-reinstall, then checkout my links for tips or just ask here and I could probably walk you through it.Originally Posted by Madadh
Can the launcher be uninstalled and reinstalled without losing nad having to reinstall CoH, or are the hopelessly intermingled? If they aren't intermingled, I'd might try that.
Or maybe just bad karma.
