City of has become unplayable
I have no issue with running this Game right now, Sound like you got a virus or Something else. Maybe you drive is going or you need a new Graphic Card all together, I no when Mirror Mode came out, alot of us suffer with these Issues, So the only thing that might be the Problem is your Card.
Never play another NcSoft game, If you feel pride for our game, then it as well, I Superratz am Proud of all of you Coh people, Love, Friendship will last for a lifetime.

Update your video drivers and make sure the fan is spinning on the video card.
Technically, I still can play --run updater fine, get into game, login, choose character, etc.-- but, within the last week or so my frame rate has dropped to impossible to play levels. Here's what I got from CoH Helper:

My guess to the problem is old drivers because on the test server I get the message "Important: your computer appears to be using older drivers for your video card. City of Heroes may run poorly without updated drivers." (However, I don't see this on live, must be a stealth gimmick for I19, but, that's besides the point.)
P.S. I'd like to mention that I'm on an HP dv 2000 series (I think 2815) entertainment notebook.
Thanks in advance for any help!
