Thanks. I had seen that but missed the line about no patch notes.
Was it really maintenance? Don't we have maintenance on Thursdays?
I guess if there was no download when restarting the game, then it was maintenance. I'm at work so I haven't been able to log in. But if there was a patch, I am curious to know what was changed.

Well if it was a patch and there are no notes we don't know...
I don't know about that but for the first time ever CoH blue screen crashed my PC a few hours ago which I'm not happy about... especially after I turned down many of the settings.

I assume it was just to do with some of the server problems that NA have been having recently.

As general policy, they don't post patch notes for updates that don't have player-facing changes.
In other words, it was something internal to the servers that doesn't affect game-play.

No client change
Check your system

It's either the heat or UM. Given that it's been hotter and it's not happened while on the other hand UM has been causing problems on my system since it was added to the client and there is many sources of it I have to say it probably has something to do with UM and/or the servers.

Just got home and started to log in . . . no download, so no patch.
Move on. Nothing to see here.

Once you understand that what Durraken writes and what he means are two different things, he makes a lot more sense.

That's not 100% true. servers can indirectly cause a system to crash by causing the client to cause the system to crash.|

CoH has recently become a processor and ram hog... it was up near 100% of my CPU and 1GB of RAM so it has something to do with the client. Just not sure what.

That would still be a client issue not a server issue...

Once you grasp this principle and embrace it with all your being, you will have the power to resolve tensions in the Middle East.

Also, I chuckled at the Durakken jabs. Because they were funny, not because I don't like him or something.

Thursdays are maintenance. Today was a patch. It's even in the announcement forums, and has been linked upthread.

There could well have been a server-side patch.

The announcement didn't say there was a patch, it said there would be no patch notes. As there was no client patch downloaded and applied, it makes sense that there are no patch notes to go with it.

Maybe they just needed some server defragging or something
Lately when I log into the Virtue server that server has some intermittent issues with bad rubberbanding and mapservering and whatnot. Go back to play characters on Freedom and that server is just fine and dandy. Although once I logged into Sharkshead on Freedom and it was horrific lag. They probably bugged the Ghost of Scrapyard and his hundred followers, or something, sharks was turning into a black hole zone a lot while the issue was still on Test. Pft, maybe multiple Scrapyards are spawning at once and sinking Sharkshead back into the sea through a million man march.
Or it was a stealth fix of an exploit. They don't always tell us when they do that, for obvious reasons.
Dec out.

One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
