F.Y.I my load sucks and averages 6 minutes in most zones but about 2 in shard(never anyone else there so not sure how team will affect that)
going to upgrade pc soon and at latest end of summer break, but I have heard there are graphices you can outright just turn off not just turn down. could that help my load?

Hey E, I believe I'll be on Lord Tyrannos, my level 20 Grav/Energy Dominator on the Silver Mantis SF. I have options of the following though if you need me to change my mind.
20 Dark/Dark Corr
22 SS/Invuln Brute
32 Zombies/Dark MM
32 Bane
50 Merc/Trap MM
50 Energy/Energy Brute
If you need a different supporting character I'll be glad to play whatever. Merits and Badge is just as good to me as XP, but I like xp =D

Bad load times can have a lot to do with the amount of ram in your comp - how much ram do you have in your system & which OS are you using?
|
oh I know what my hardware problems are I just wanted to know if there is anything but safemode I can do on the CoH side.
and its technically my mom comp and she is most likely completely upgrading it in next few weeks, she just needs to find a good tech person(staples sucks). end of summer would be me buying one with the money I get working in hawaii.
512 MB ram.
Please put my lolfaceplant Stalker down for Ice Mistral and Cap SF.

Choose "Options" from the menu in the upper right corner of the game. Then choose the far right tab on that box "Graphics Settings". If "Advanced Graphic Settings" is enabled, disable it. This will pop up a graphics slider with four options. Turn the slider all the way to the left for "Minimum" on the graphics quality.
It might not be enough to help much for you, but honestly, it cannot hurt with so little RAM! I have 4G RAM and lag in certain areas.
Also make sure that you have everything in the background of windows closed out. You might want to download a little piece of free software named "Game Booster". You run it before you start up City of Heroes. It closes out any extra windows junk running in the back ground.

Please note, I'm not near the game, so some of the names might be slightly different from what I tell you, but you should get the general idea:

I have it in safe mode that takes care of options menu was just hoping there was something else I can do, I have memorized my task manager and wipe out extra stuff through processes before I login.
yeah I have lived with this crap ram for like 3 years of CoH, I was asking about if suppressing power effects and stuff helps, I have heard of it but have no idea how.

Assuming you are running XP, go to: your Control Panel - select System - then click the Advanced tab - and click the Settings button under Performance - click the Advanced Tab - then click the Change button under Virtual Memory - click the Custom Size radio button and enter 2048 in both the Initial & Maximum size - click apply, then ok, ok, ok & restart your comp when you are prompted.
This will only help a tiny bit, but it is better than nothing.
Also, I've found that running CoH in Safe Mode is very slow, you would do better by taking the steps that Luna has suggested as far as the ingame settings go.

Please double check my timing/level ranges/rewards/etc - I am sure I messed something up somewhere.
