Several Bugs since I21

Here are a few annoying bugs I've noticed since I21 (I am playing on the VIP server).

  1. Game forgets map clearing - I have the REVEAL power, and I use it on zone maps. If I am logged out for about a day, the game resets all my zone maps as unexplored. This is annoying when you're playing in a Hazard zone where the map is black instead of the "fog of war" you get in other zones. I know I've cleared ALL the zones, since I was the one who got all the exploration badges for my SG except RWZ (I need the one under the shield) and Galaxy City.
  2. Characters in Destroyed Galaxy City are considered "Heroes" until they select an alignment. Thus, they can join a SG in there, but they are the wrong alignment to join a VG.
  3. My SG base was created before the icon was changed. Now, all the "base details" have the original "Bio-Hazard" icon, not the one we've selected. I can't figure out how to reset this. The chest emblem does change when the icon is set. We've tried a bunch of different icons, none of them change the base icon. Even if no-one has been in the base for 24 hours, it still doesn't reset.
  4. I can't set my window scale to 105-110%. I used to be able to.
  5. I have Going Rogue on my account, but I can't start a new character in Praetoria.
These are just the ones the ones that stand out the most.

P.S. Is there or will there be any way to get the old Galaxy City exploration bages? I checked it out on another server that still has Galaxy City as a teleporter beacon set - I got there for about 15 seconds before it booted me to Atlas Park.

This one I can say is (or at least should) be a known issue.

There is nothing you can do about it.

Unfortunately, I am pretty sure it isn't high up on the priority list of issues to fix, so you will probably have to wait a while before it gets fixed.

You can get to the "Echo: Galaxy City" from Ouroboros. I haven't tried myself, but I have been told it is behind the building, by the mediportals.

If you have the Arcane Teleport Beacon for Galaxy City, it is still pointing to Galaxy City. If you have the Tech Teleport Beacon for Galaxy City, it is pointing to the Echo.

Arcane is bugged.

1 & 3 are known.
2. They should be able to join a VG after becoming a villain while still in the zone.
4 & 5 haven't heard of this happening. Be sure to file a /bug report in game.

These should really be posted in the forum section right above this one. The one named City of Heroes Freedom and Issue 21: Convergence Bug Report Forums.


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.

The problem with #5 is that my resolution is at 1920 X 1080 and as I try to adjust the slider, the first point I can select is around 115%. It would be nice if I could type in a number rather than have the slider to try and adjust.

The only way I've been able to adjust this is turn the resolution way down, adjust the slider to where I want it, then adjust the resolution back up. Then I have to move everything back.

there is a slash command to change the window scaling, although its to change it on a "window by window" basis

Probably the best and easiest way to do this is to save your windows positioning... and then go and open wdw.txt (should be either in the root of your CoH install directory, or in the "data" directory.

now, when you open the file in notepad (or your favourite text editor) you will see lots of numbers

status 985 0 295 65 1.0 3399ffff 88 0 2
tray 840 974 440 50 1.0 3399ffff 88 0 2

The number you want to change is the 5th one along, and you can replace the value you have with whatever else you want.
