problem solved, and how did i do this? I went (with difficulty into Cox, went to options and changed to windowed in my resolution options. So for anyone who has this prblem in the future change your resolution setting to windowed.

Ok, let's start again. I case you're wondering: I'm Dutch, english is not my native language although I do understand basic day to day English. I don't consider myself a complete idiot, but I am just a simple user of a computer. I am no expert in dealing with overly technical issues. When I run City of Heroes helper I get the above information. It really doesn't tell ME much anyway. Rest to say I do still get a fail message when I run City of Heroes helper. SO bear with me.

This is what i know and think I can understand. This monday I updated my drivers, not realising that it would change anything in my games. Everyhting works perfectly, except COX. I can log into CoX, but my cursor is invisible. SInce that has always been the case nothing new. However, on monday morning, before i updated my drivers, I could see the cursor after switching screens only once.

The new situation is as follows I can still log in into CoX, my cursor is still invisible. by switching the screen I can see the cursor, BUT not use it. By switching screens again I can use it, but it is invisible. I can get into the chararcter selection screen, the problem persists, once again my cursor is invisible. If I run my invisible cursor over the names the names do light up i can click on it then. Again if I enter a zone, my cursor is still invisible. Switching screen will show me the posotion of the cursor, but i cannot use it until i switch screens and the cursor is once invisible.

Since this started happening after i updated my drivers, so it seems a logical conclusion that the updating is to blame. I do not personally understand WHY it happens. It does make no sense to me at all why a cursor should behave so strangely in ONE game (for the rest my computer is running very well and has no problems at all with a cursor). which leaves me with following conclusion (maybe it's an assumption) something is wrong with CoX. The one thing I did manage to do was changing CoX to the same resolution as the rest of my computer (and boy it does look much better now).

So far you've been pushing me to use a few programs which i downloaded and it doesn't tell me anything and I really don't know how to use. Or what it is supposed to do. I am grateful you're helping me so far I still have the same problem.

By the way putting -compatiblecursor behind anything hasn't solved anything yet either.

So far i just get i little frustated I cannot play a game properly I have paid for.

So in simple terms for this dutch idiot what d I do, what's wrong where do I look?

Ok, I was, switching constantly between screens, able to match the resolution between CoX and my computer. I had hoped against all hope that this would solve the problem. CoX looks great now. But it isn't playable. Yes by contantly switching screen I can see a cursor, then I have to switch two times (or more) and click it , the cursor seems to be invisible. When the cursor is invisible i can see some items "light up" in the login in screen , character selection screens and the game windows. So with considerable difficulty I am able to log in get a character and get into a zone I can also with some difficulty log out. Remember I am constantly switching screens.

Now everything else in my computer (other games etc) work perferctly, the only problem I have is COH and its invisible cursor problem.

well i get a failed message when ik use the link privided in the first link. As I am dutch the message is in dutch as well. Apparently i just have to find some in in friends circle to help me.

the problem is that the cursor disappears and the movement is extremely shaky, I tried to put things back but to no avail. Everyting else works fine, it's just CoH which isn't functioning properly. Is there no easy fix?

hmm your bottom link sends me to a free download, but if i run it (which it does for free) and press the optimise button i have to pay for something I am supposedly get for free????

Still don't know what to do I got a Geforce 8800 i believe. (it is not something I have to check every day)

I bought Star Trek Online to play with friends, and I had to update my drivers. It did change the layout of my screen. Now I try to log in COH and I get a wide screen, I can get in. But don't see a cursor. So i switch screens which usually helps getting the cursor. Everything is off, I cannot play properly the screen freezes and I have to get out because the cursor disappears constantly, if I try the switching screens trick it messes op COH and I have to get out with Ctrl-alt delete. What can I do so I can play BOTH games properly?

For me there are two reasons to pick a certain travelpower, concept and how useful is a power . I rarely take sJ, or TP (even with bind it takes to much effort imho), flight, superspeed and ninja run are my most used one. Many melee chars only have ninja run these days. Although I might have a travel power on my alternative build.

My chars with stealths auras will usually take SS to give 70 stealth radius. Especially for the squishy chars is this very useful.

I cannot go past the patcher, the only option I got is quit! Ah it just came up!

i cannot even get past the patcher!

spread the word on union that the mapserver of Talos seems down

Ah well then at least I know it is soemthing wrong with the Talosmapserver and not my computer something like that. That clears my head a little. Thanks fo the responses guys!

I did the ten minute break, I'll try again in half an hour

Hi I don't know if somebody can help me. I played this afternoon on Union, everything was A okay. I logged out to get some rest and just started to log on union. So far so good. I wanted to see if my character I had played with earlier had sold his salvage and logged on. The system froze and the only option I had (I hate doing it so yes it was the only option) CTRL_ALt Delete. Logged back with the same char and it bumped me to the log-in screen with the following message: <characters name> is currently logging out try again later. tried it a few times no luck. I went to Defiant and was able to log on a toon without a problem. Then again went back to union. I got the same message again. went to another toon on union and the system froze up again!

Again Ctrl-alt-delete and this tie i shut down the computer. Again I tried and the same message came back. Is anything going can soembody help me? I have never seen this message before...

Hey it is free for 20 persons. I won't have time to watch this during a weekday, so'll probably end up buying it anyway!

Some people just don't have the hang for a certain AT. For some reason i am really bad with Brutes and Corruptors, yet I like playing scrappers, defenders and blasters.

Yes there may be more new players playing a more "difficult" AT, and being bad at it. BUT that means there are more new players! Which i think is a good thing. They still need to learn to play this game, give them a chance. Give advice etc. so that they can become good new players. We all made mistakes when we started out and I do have bad days myself. None of us are perfect.

For me i am glad there are still new players coming to my favourite MMO!

why assume that the current Praetoria storyline is the same dimension as the GR Praetoria? i simply assumed it were two different Praetorias.

They said Demon summoning would be released in april.

I got it back too. I just want to know what to do about it. Last time I did nothing and it fixed itself.

I don't want to keep fixing this, it is a problem caused by the devs so they should come up with a solution that will end this problem. I was considering pre-purchasing GR. But now I have sincere doubts about it.

rent i've tried everything and nothing worked, For some reason though it is running now when I did absolutely nothing. It just doesn't make sense anymore. Should this problem reoccur then I am at a loss what to do.

Well it does seems something weird is going on anyway. Two days it started. went to this thread and did everything up till re-installing nothing worked. Then I re-installed the game yesterday and I could play it yesterday. Closed the computer for dinner intending to come back in the evening when I did. Same problem as friday. It did say it was trying to update to prv again, but i couldn't finfd the prv anymore. Played another game yesterday so not to waste my entire weekend. Closed the computer for my nightrest. Just got switched on the computer and NOW i can go into COH again for some reason. I don't know what's going on. It just doesn't make sense. One moment I can play one moment I cannot. Everything what's been told on this thread either doesn't worl or only temporarely it seems.

I agree with some posters. I pay for playing the game not fixing the devs issues. I realise I am apparently of of the few with this problem. But it is very annoying as I am not a computer expert. I am not an idiot I can after play the fairly compently. I am not gifted in solving the technical problems

and still no response from a red-name. Yeah it's weekend!

Quit QQing

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...=211248&page=4

well tried everthing in that link and what do you mean with quit QQing? write english .

It didn't work, then it does after reinstalling the game and now it doesn't anymore. It just doesn't make sense.

I had trouble yesterday and this morning. Reinstalled the game and played the whole afternoon, closed the computer for dinner and the same problem is back again.

Ok need to hear from someone official what to do for the European costumers.

This needs to be fixed ASAP. I am not wasting my weekend on the problems caused bu the devs. They should provide us with an easy to use solution which works all the time and not just temporarely.
