The integrated Intel video chipset is the problem. There are "slightly" newer drivers on the Acer support website for your computer, but I'm not sure if they would resolve the problem or not.|

I would recommend upgrading the video drivers first from the Acer support website, and if the problem persists you might try to install the drivers directly from the Intel website. I'm not sure if Asus modified their drivers so that the official drivers won't install as some other OEM's do.
You can also try setting a command on your CoH shortcut to lower your shader mode on the game.
1. right click on CoH 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 once
6. enter the following code exactly -useTexEnvCombine
7. click on apply then ok
8. right click on CoH then click run as admin.
Since Intel's OpenGL support has always been less than stellar, it's possible that you may not be able to fully resolve the issue. The Programming department and QA are aware of the problems with Intel video chipsets and older ATI and nVidia cards, but there is only so much they can do without re-breaking the graphics engine.
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.

Hello, I have a weird bug, my costumes won't show up in the select a costume window and I cannot see npc pictures either, could this be my graphics card? right now im using a laptop, the game isn't running at high framerates but is manageable. My biggest gripe is the aforementioned problems.
I downloaded the client from the trial page, but after a few days I got a time card and activated my real account, could this be a related issue? or did the system forgot to download smething from the client? I have no idea
Ill give my system specs to see if it helps:
intel pentium 1.3 ghz mhz fsb
3 gb of memory
the videocard i suspec is integrated to the motherboard or w/e don't know much about tehchnicalities.
Thanks in advance
