I don't have any solutions, but I can say I have been experiencing similar problems to the ones you describe...and a few more...
-letters occasionally disappearing in names/words,etc.
-when working on new costumes, parts of the toons model will disappear (last time it was the models legs from the belt down) or the color palette vanishes.
I also tried all those fixes you mentioned, except for the uninstall/fresh install, but reading of your lack of success, I think I will pass on that for now.
I've been having problems, too.
I'm immobilized as if it's a very bad lag, but it doesn't behave quite the same. I don't rubberband, or have choppy bits. I'm just immobilized, unable to act for awhile, then it goes away.
I have d/c'd on every taskforce I've joined the last week and a half.
I ALWAYS d/c from Atlas train (either leaving atlas, or coming back into atlas) on a TF
None of this was occurring previously. Just the last week and a half. Am wondering if it's since I22 went on beta.

Sadly, I am having exactly the same problems as yourself. Someone in game gave me a good workaround which I use frequently. Typing /reloadgfx seems to work for me. Though very inconvenient it does not take long and will have to do for me until as such time the problems are cleared by the devs (I assume it is a game fault because I was fine until the last issue).

There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt. ~Author Unknown

Thanks for that reloadgfx command! (I'll have to test it soon! I remembered that there was a command, but not what it was)|

I've been having the occasional massive lag for a minute or two, where I can barely move or act, although I can sometimes attack by randomly hitting ranged attack, I just can't tell what happened. Then it eventually stops and all is right with the world. My wife doens't get the same thing, she locks up on mission exit or otherwise zoning after a few missions, on rare occasions out in the street.
This has been going on for me since shortly after issue 21 or at least winter event start. a real danger when I'm running with the Iron Eagles II SG on Justice, where dying equals retiring the character.
I'm going to make a macro button for it to spam click when the lag hits me.
/macro rGfx "reloadgfx"

I'm having the same hard core lag for 30 sec - 1 min at a time also, it just started last week.
Not sure what is going on. I hope NCSOFT is looking into this...
For those having lag issues, we need more information to be able to help narrow down your problems (and Paragon Studios and NCSoft will as well).
There is very little in your posts to start trying to troubleshoot, so I'll start with the basic information that would be helpful.
First, start with the instructions in Hyperstrike's [Guide] Asking for technical help on the forums thread. Be sure to paste the results from CoH Helper, HiJackThis and pathping into your posts.
Also, include some information about your connection. Is it Cable, DSL, FiOSSatellite, Dial-Up (yes, there are several still stuck on dial-up) or some other type of connection. If you know your bandwidth speeds that would be helpful (for example, is it a 1.5 Mb Cable connection, a 3 Mb Cable connection, 6 Mb Cable connection, etc.). Are you connecting with a wired ethernet connection, a usb connection or a wireless connection. Are you connecting directly to a modem, through a router or a combination modem/router (often called a gateway).
Include information about what is going on when you have these problems. Is it solo, teamed, in a league, running regular missions, in a mission map, in the outside world, in a TF/SF, in a Trial, in an iTrial, etc.
The more information you can give the better it will be for those trying to help you.
Also, be sure to file a support ticket with NCSoft. If you don't, they don't know that you are having trouble and can't look to see if it's a problem in any of their equipment.
I'd recommend filing the ticket by going to the https://support.cityofheroes.com site, logging in to your support account (separate account from the Master account or game account although they can use the same username and password, create a support account if you don't have one) and use the Ask A Question tab to file a support ticket.
Give as much information as you can using the questions I asked as a guideline. The more information that is relevant to your connection, when you are having the problems, how many teammates, what maps, etc, the better for them to help diagnose the issues. Run any and all tests that they ask you to run, even if they seem useless to you.
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.
My lag always hits whenever I select lightning rod, shield charge and spring attack.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
Hello! I've been having the strangest problems with CoH since last week.
-No animations for powers about 50% of the time. Mine or critters
-Critters sometimes port around the screen as though I'm lagging
-In Trials I lose my league and team windows at random times. It's like I'm not on any team yet other league members still see me on their team and I can still see and use league chat.
-I DON'T stutter when I'm moving, which makes me think it's not lag related?
-Sometimes it tells me my toggles that are running aren't. I constantly don't know what powers have come back up for use as it just tells me they are all ready to be clicked even after I just used them
-I'm only having issues with CoH, all my other programs and games are working perfectly. I'm on a 1 year old system with lots of power running Win7. Until last week I've had zero problems running the game.
What I've tried to fix it.
-Changed vid settings
-compatibility modes in Windows 7
-repaired my install
-completely uninstalled NCsoft launcher and CoH, then reinstalled fresh
-Updated and rolled back my video drivers
-Tested my internet connection for Ping/jitter/packet loss/speed. Everything is amazingly awesome there.
I'm fresh out of ideas, so any advice would be appreciated.
