Alternatively, just set your toggle powers to trays 4 or 5.

While you can still, presumably, get to them by banging away at the keyboard, you could go in and disable the keyboard commands to swap trays.

Both of these suggestions don't require changes to the engine... and will work.. RIGHT NOW!!!!

not until after we film the slow-motion pillow fight scene inter-cut with the dramatic roof-top action sequence where Detra chases Fedor and Me across skyscrapers to reclaim her panties and donuts.

see. That's what you get for being so good in the cat-tree.

The 8600GT is one low power card, especially compared to other other graphics cards it can keep up with, such as the x1950 series and the upper Geforce 7900 series. It, however, uses up a chunk more power than 43watts.

The 5750 hasn't been power tested by as many people... but legitreviews did have an interesting post on it. With this system:

At full load both the 5770 and 5750 did manage to squeak in under 300watts pull-down

Now, I'd only try this myself on a 300watt power supply with a 5750 that lacks the extra add-in power plug: http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,7...wer-plug/News/

no no no. My contract explicitely states I don't get shot.

BECKY!

now, see, I've got a motherboard with the integrated Geforce 6100 GPU, and granted, while it was basically an Nforce4 with a downclocked NV44, CoH will still boot and run on that system. Granted, it's not capable of driving anything but low, but the game at least should run. I mean, I can still force the game to run on a Radeon 9200 add-in card, and it will still run on Intel Integrated Chipsets...

A crash out on the resolution indicates there's another problem at hand.

Now, it might be that his friend is using OEM drivers for his graphics cards which have had OpenGL support stripped. Updating with new drivers from Nvidia's site may address that issue.


or yeah, trying to force a resolution that the monitor doesn't support. That would do it too.

The development staff tends to go out of its way to disguise actual server numbers. One of their reasonings long ago was that server population should not be a factor in whether or not a player chooses a particular server.

Now, Freedom server used to be the most popular server... right up until the free mergers offered at the beginning of this year. Well, technically, players didn't actually transfer off Freedom until after the PvPer's made a concerted effort to gather on Freedom. Draw your own conclusions from that.

Anyways, as of right now, Virtue holds the highest number of players on a consistent basis. Does that make it the best server? Well, no.

Like 37 states, there are other factors to consider when looking at a server. Many servers, such as Victory and Triumph, tend to have lots of players, but they are separated into cliques... and if you don't know somebody in the clique... well... you might not ever think anything is going on.

she's asking what Ultra Mode settings you have.


Okay, if I can have you swap back to the 5750.

Uninstall the existing drivers:

Run Driver Sweeper:

Then reinstall the Catalyst 10.6 drivers.

My Guess is that you probably swapped from the 4800 series to the 57xx card and the system still has the 48xx card as a primary rendering device somewhere.

When you put the 4800 series card back, it's now rendering to the correct device.

Remember: CoH is one of the only Commercial games on the market to leverage OpenGL 3.0+ at this time. Outside of Unigine's Heaven demo: http://unigine.com/ :: there isn't much you can lay hands on right now that's running code compiled against / towards OpenGL 3.0+

This is an OEM driver.

You need to go to www.amd.com and download a proper driver for your graphics card.

That... is interesting.

Just to make sure I'm clear on this before I go further, but with the 5750:

You were not getting any other errors with any other game?

Bucks? You mean money was involved? I was told I was doing this on a catnip commission!

The puppeh brigade was last seen locked in their kennels.

on that power supply? Ultra Mode ain't happening.

The starting point for Ultra Mode in "low" settings is the RadeonHD 4850 / Geforce 9800 GTX / Geforce GTS 250.

While you could technically run a 4850 on a 300 watt power supply, and trust me on this, I tried with mine before posting, chances are it won't run at full speed. On my rig here the 4850 stayed in it's downclocked 2D mode: 160mhz clock / 250mhz memory. I was also coupling it with a low power Sempron (not this model, but one of the Sempron's from 2007), 1gb of memory (single stick), and a USB drive with an external power brick.

I somewhat... seriously doubt that in a "normal" chassis with a normal setup that the HD 4850 would boot. I've had a couple of cards before that basically sound an alarm and won't allow the system to boot at all if you are not feeding the graphics card enough power, which occurred I want to say with an x1800 XT on a 300 watt power supply, and an x1900 AIW... I think on the same 300 watt power supply.

Given that Nvidia's line-up of cards gulps power like they have a dedicated hydro-electric dam, I have no doubt that any higher version of a Geforce card is out of your reach.

So... the only realistic recommendation is: if you want to use that system, you are going to need to purchase a better power supply before even looking at a new graphics card.
