Should we re-enable things like ATI hotkey poller for these tests?
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
since that is 3rd party software, I'd say go for it!
It's Stress Testing time!
Woohoo lets break things >

Examples:
Ati Hotkey-Poller
Ventrilo
etc.
Note that this doesn't mean that CoV is officially supporting using these programs alongside CoV...we're just hoping that they no longer cause problems with CoV.
The Television doesn't particularly care about Heroes having these problems (or in general...who does?), so don't worry about testing blue side. Edit: Unfortunately, the fix will work equally well or poorly on both sides, though this is obviously unfortunate.

"Due to payment of an undisclosed amount of catnip, and the return of the Catnip Hour, the Kitty collective has called off all hostilities against Television."
No longer a threat. Besides, I played that arc with a villain and it went great.

No issues so far, Ran at various degrees of UM, my current live configuration is all max save the final slider which is off, running at 22 fps in RWZ
Currently with the same configuation I cannot ACCESS RWZ live unless I go in under Safe Mode, I've two characters trapped in there atm :P
Doens't seem to dislike any third party apps on my end, hero Stat or Vent or TS3..
Running Nvidia EVGA 250 GTS 512 with current build drivers.
Cimm and Atlas seem smooth as well...will continue testing..

1) begin by assuming/imagining the following text at the beginning of every Television post: "The screen flicks on. It shows an image of the most attractive programmer you have ever seen in your entire life. This guy is a Greek God of cool. You must either be watching some kind of reality show for impossibly gorgeous people or a documentary on one of the world's most brilliant minds (of all time)."
You can assume that part because I'm speaking in my programmer voice, and I'm pretty sure that's how people would describe me if they saw me on Television.
2) read whatever I put in my post as though it were in quotes. That's what the intimidatingly beautiful programmer on screen is saying. Try to read a little extra wit and charm into it, because I'd add those if I weren't so busy.
3) Finally, finish up with: "The programmer now turns his heart-breaking-ly beautiful gaze directly at you. Please, viewers, do not forsake your friend the Television or berate it with criticism of its role playing. Do not discriminate against the beautiful. No, you should embrace beauty by watching Television and the I17 graphics upgrade in CoV."

I think you misspoke. Obviously, with a programmer that sexy, you meant to say "come on." But it's okay, I'd be intimidated too if I were speaking to Adonis-made-flesh. |

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
haha soo in relation to your post Television...
On live I am having HORRIBLE issues with losing connection - not crashing or anything - I can't do anything outside the game(vent is pushing it) if I want to stay connected and even that most of the time doesn't help.
Just got off ghost town test: went to various zones ( red and blue) killed in the streets, was going to do a mission with max spawns but decided not to. Did all of that with no issue, and was even running Chrome with YouTube going and vent going (with conversation). I decided to try my luck and brought up a second account on test. Had the both accounts going doing things using various graphics options -- everything went well.
Sooo from the looks of it seems my issue was resolved -- which is a big uh.. YAY!

I just have to say that I think Television's posts are pretty much the only "enjoyable" (as in entertaining) dev posts on the boards when BaBs is on break... I like it when he speaks "in character," because none of the other Devs technically do that.
It's unique. Learn to love it, people.
