Game crashes after i19 update

I am having the same issues. Getting an error message sometimes. Which NEVER happened before today. Not sure whats going on.
I have been crashing a LOT more than normal. Sometimes when getting onto the train and when logging into a mission.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
The game crashed on me twice today -- got a popup asking if I wanted to submit a bug report or try to keep playing (sounds started looping). I managed to play momentarily longer but ultimate it crashed.

It's never asked me to report anything, my game will just go to black, stay frozen for a bit, then my window bar will say the game's not responding, causing me to exit out and restart everything that I was doing. It happened on me 3 times this morning before I gave up for the day. ='(
This is becoming a real problem now. I can't even get through the tutorial with a new toon without the game freezing when I try to talk to one of the contacts.
Has anyone else been having these problems since i19 game out? I've never had these issues before, until i19 launched. Now, it's an everyday thing, happening multiple times a day.
I keep getting an Open GL error 4 and crashing to a white screen.
I have a NVIDIA GTX 260 and 260.99 drivers. No other crashes on other games.
What is wrong?!
Okay, said this in another thread. People using both ATI and nVidia drivers are reporting greater-than-usual crash frequency since i19.
It's POSSIBLE it's a driver issue, but the platform-agnostic nature of the problem leads me to believe there's something crufty in the game itself that requires a bit of tweaking.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I agree. People are having the same or similar problems across a pretty wide range of processors and graphics cards. At this point, I really hope someone at Paragon is looking into this.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Been working with CoH Support on this for a month now. I've pointed them to the Tech forums, to show it's not an isolated issue. This is getting irritating.

You're telling me. I was actually fine until i19 dropped. Now, I never know exactly when I'm going to crash and burn. Zoning, walking along, in combat, teleporting, JUST FRICKING STANDING THERE and BOOM.
It also doesn't help that the damn crash dump can't actually send anything out when it comes up (which is only about half the time).

I know! Like, when I log on now, I literally don't do anything but stand in the spot I logged into and just talk all night long. I don't run missions, attack random groups, nothing. It's all basically pointless since the second I click on something with the mouse, everything freezes.
Given I never crashed pre-i19 and crash frequently post, yeah I have more crashes.
I crash on every MS raid. Every one. I tried playing around with my graphic settings, took it down as far as possible, still crashed.
Then someone suggested I turn my sound off, because on every crash a sound loop happens as it's going down. I set my sound to zero and did 4 MS raids in a row, in the same session, with no crashes, so that's it, at least for me.
Now, how do I fix this and make it stop?
I'm running Windows 7pro x32
3GB RAM
nVidia GTX 470 (latest released reference drivers)
When I look at my sound card, I see "NVidia High Definition Audio", but not sure what it is. It's integrated into my mobo and the drivers are Windows native, so no clue.
Am having this same issue. Crash almost every time I talk to a contact the first time in a session. Also happens almost every time I enter a mission in a 'non-standard' fashion; such as by having a contact teleport my character or by having to hop into the back of a van.
I have found it happens much less often if I am grouped and someone else talks to the person first.
Not exactly a fix, but might help you stagger along until someone finds a real fix.
Edit
Additionally, locks up every time without fail if I try to place an item in a base.

They say misery loves company, so I'm glad I'm not the only one with post I19 connection issues. My issues happen only on TFs, besides the unusually lag, there are some missions in which I just can't get into. I'll click on the door, the load screen will come up... and nothing. Finally I get a "lost connection" message and have to restart. First time I try to log in it says I'm already logged in. This happened Monday evening on a LGTF; I wasn't able to enter the first two missions (no shards for me). The following day it happened to me again on another toon on an ITF. This time I couldn't enter the first mission. Ironically Monday afternoon I was on the same toon I ran the LGTF with and had no issues what so ever, that time it was an ITF.
This is particularly annoying because I enjoy running TFs more than anything else in the game but I am reluctant to because I don't want to be "that guy". You know, the one that basically hogs a TF spot and spends a majority of the time outside missions. I took a break from the game for awhile because I was waiting for I19 and the Incarnate system. Now it's out, I'm back, and I can't reliably participate on TFs.
Previously when I heard about players getting constant disconnects after an upgrade I'd joke and say "It's one of the features"; now I'm on the other side... It's not so funny. Lesson learned.
Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

For example, I go to the tailor, try to pick which costume I wanna alter, game freezes, does not want to respond, crash. I was flying around Faultline, everything seemed fine. I stopped flying to check some tip missions, game froze, didn't wanna respond, crashed. This has never happened to me before. I'd hate to blame my issues on i19 but it's been happening ever since. Anyone else have any other ideas why this would happen? |

The common denominator is the new patch.

I am trying to help people with game crashing problems. Without any info its very hard to figure things out.
There were some people having issues with 260.99 nvidia drivers with 6150SE video and needed to roll back to 197.45 but until several people said what they had we had no ideas as to where to go.
There is a post requesting that people post CoH helper and hijack this. Trust me that info does help quite a bit.

I know you're trying to help, but those the 197.45 drivers are terrible. They are not a good work around.

Certainly for 6150SE folks it works.
Any further updates on your situation Desmodos? In the case for 260.99 with GTX 260 users I don't know.
I'm currently running 260.99 with my GTX 260 with no issues. Its a single card and I am using evga precision with custom GPU fan settings. Have you tried manual GPU fan settings?
Edit: It seems GTX 295 users have some other issue. Perhaps start a thread for GTX 295 users?
