  2. Wow. 10.8 is a huge improvement.

    Well, beside the fact it created a catastrophic boot error and I had to system restore which somehow corrupted a Firefox Add-on. (I completely uninstalled the old drivers and that did the trick.)

    Not only are FSAA and AO working well together (except for one specific AO setting which I can live without), but I was able to bump FSAA up one more notch (full 8x) without taking a FPS hit!

Dang. That's a little annoying. How do I get the Seer's moral choice mission, or even her souvenir then? Or is it lost forever?
    You'll get the souvenir when it eventually become Flashback-able, presumably at Ouroboros.
  6. I haven't paid attention to market values, but there are a ton of DO vendors in IC and Neutropolis. And in my opinion, there's no need to clutter up IC with TO vendors.

    Now, would it be great if all vendors sold all TOs, DOs, and SOs and had buttons and tabs to sort by type, level, and origin? Yes, please make *that* happen. Not some piddling changes not really needed.

    thank you.
    The non-combat pets (click here) can't be color-customized.

    Some (not all) of the pets that come from primary or secondary power sets can be color-customized. (Click here for an example.)
  8. Enhancement Slots don't disappear when exemplaring. If you waited until your 40s to six-slot Brawl, then when you exemplar down to level 1, you'll still have six-slotted Brawl.

    *Powers* disappear when exemplaring depending on when you chose them.

    Whats going on?
    It removed all your CoH Registry entries.

    Copy CohUpdater.exe. to the Desktop (do not make a shortcut, copy and paste it there).

    Run that.

    It will say it's going to install CoH and give you a default directory and ask if that's OK or if you want to use some other directory. Use the directory that your Live installation currently resides.

    Let it run. It *thinks* the game is not installed at all, and will set up the correct Registry entries and start to download it all.

    If it doesn't recognize the game already exists in that directory. Stop the download and restart it with the shortcut. It should now look to update rather than install, and when it sees all the .pigg files already there, it will simply verify.

    But yours doesn't have the Costume Menus reinstated. And you leave dance8/9 commented out with the wrong Authbit.

    Jus' sayin'.

    If it's an ATI card, FSAA and Ambient Occlusion have not worked well together for most cards and drivers. If you had them working well for a while, then count yourself lucky.

    You can see if there's a new driver that will fix it.

    If not, my recommendation is shutting off AO. Then, while monitoring your FPS (/showfps 1), turn up FSAA until you get a big FPS hit, then bring it down 1 from that.

    Globals? You have two accounts and those are the Global Names of the two accounts (the names that show up in Global channels)?

    According to Wikipedia, the RS880 is an integrated Radeon HD 4250, which should be OK to run CoH.

    The latest version of the drivers for the HD 4250 is 10.7, so, I'd go here and update the graphics driver.

    If you're playing new toons 'cause of Praetoria, they have lower flight speeds and fly speed caps.

    Yep.


    Quote:
    Additionally, the components we are seeing quadrupled are just a breakdown of buffs to make flight speed suppress when held, as well as make it not fully enhanceable. That is to say, the two primary flight speed buffs are one part enhanceable and one part unenhanceable similar to what Dull Pain has, where as the other two buffs (or rather, the buff/debuff combo) are there to handle flight speed reduction while held. Do I have that right?
    Yep.


    Quote:
    That makes sense, I guess, but I'll want to wait for flight speed numbers to be tightened up in Combat Attributes before I make any changes to my Fly or Hover slotting. Ideally, I'd like to see the final numbers in mph before I make a decision, and ideally without the jitter in final flight speed that we see now. Incidentally, do you have any idea what causes that jitter?
    It would be good to wait.

    The jitter could be the overlapping of the .75 sec pulsing of the buffs.
  18. Star Fleet forbids it!

    Actually, there was never any patch note or message from the Devs about this. It just happened. And since the new splash screens were not stretched or fitted for wide screens, we just assumed this is working as intended.

    I presume the reason is that with some wide screens being really wide, it was stretching the image too much.

    On the plus side, ambient occlusion finally works correctly with these settings.
    Watch out! The new Chi Master is difficult enough without a Tsoo Sky Dragon boss in the spawn. You need to select 'No Bosses' at the difficulty adjuster pixel.
