So, I have an older rig. Never had a problem with COH. Until I17, that is.
My rig's about 5 years old (but then, the game is 6 years old...). For graphics, I'm running an ATI Sapphire Radeon X800 SE card. I had the input lag problem (also introduced with I17...) and disabled the hotkey puller. No more input lag. Great.
Trouble is, now a lot of the effects simply don't work properly. For example, Ring of Fire used to actually produce a ring of fire around the target. Now it looks like four blobs around the target, and just on the floor.
Laser sights on the Tactical Pistol w/Laser now flicker FAR more than they used to and are barely visible.
I suspect that aura abilities are going to be problematic as well although I haven't been logged in long with any of my heroes who are levels 30+.
Anyone have any idea what the heck this could be about?
--EDIT--
Separate issue. Sound has SERIOUSLY degraded in quality. A lot of sounds loop randomly now, and the sound quality is far muddier than it used to be.
I've never had an issue for COH/COV actually degrade performance. Very disappointing.
