I can't even connect at all to any toon in Talos or in Founder's.

My 50s:
Tigra Swipe (BS/SR/Dark Scrapper)
Galena Storm (Emp/Ele/Ele Defender)
Master Tolarin (Psi/Fire/Force Blaster)
Yeah all I do is play for like 5 mintues with ridiclous lag then crash. I've been in contact with tech support but they just sent me a generic what they think fixies everything message and I responded back saying that it didn't fix and they have't sent a responce back for 6 hours. Not to impressed with the tech support of this company so far
Update your graphics driver:

I went to their web site and all the series 4 drivers had a date of at least late 2009. Your driver is dated 2008.

Can you send me a link to that? because on the toshiba website I have the lastest drivers
For the drivers: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sear...Chipset+Family
Because you have a Toshiba, you'll have to do this: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm to get them to work.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

I tried that, would not even install it saying I have to obtain the version from Toshiba. Which it even says on intel's website to always use the manufactures drivers not theirs. So that didn't help

If you read through the second link and then the one for your OS, it will explain what to do. You need to download the .zip version of the drivers and follow the instructions for your OS.

Xhacker, try that, worked for some ppl with Intel GPUs, I had no crashes on my Intel 945 card, but my shader option is still greyed out, as many other users even after the patch, but this solved some people's crashing issues:

1. right click on CoH/Cov shortcut 2. click on properties 3. click on shortcut tab at top 4. go to target window "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" 5. after the last " press space bar once 6. enter following code exactly -useTexEnvCombine 7. click on apply then ok. 8. right click on CoH run as admin. Solved my crash issues might solve ur GL |
