Game Crashes unless I'm at lowest settings, need help please

Hello.
I'm having some problems with City of Heroes.
The game just stops doing anything, just freezes.

Here's what I do to repeat the problem:
I launch the game in Safe Mode to reset the options to the minimum.
Now it does not matter if I'm in Safe Mode or not when I try to fiddle with the settings as it happens in either case.
I can change the resolution, I can change character - and world detail and max particle count.
If I try to change anything else the game hangs and I have to ctr+alt+del to shut it down through the Task Manager.

What follows is the COHhelper readout and the HijackThis log.

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure someone who know more than me will be by soon; I don't see anything obvious.

How old is the PC? Have you scanned for viruses recently? Have you checked for updated video drivers?


 

Posted

video drivers are up to date, no viruses, computer is 6 months old

My initial impression of possible issues:

- HD Graphics
- BitComet


 

Posted

Yeah, BitComet is considered spyware by some folks. Does you anti-virus flag it? What anti-virus do you use?

Another thing is Skype is a memory hog. Is it running or is that just the idle daemon?

And it looks like the EasyNote laptop should have an NVIDIA graphics chip, not sure what's up with "Intel HD".

Play the game windowed. You can fullscreen the window (so it still has a title bar but fits the screen) and everything. Just make sure it's in windowed mode.

I don't know the technical side of this fix, but it worked for me with CoH when this happened on my last PC.

the game hangs even in windowed mode

Bitcomet is only run when I'm fetching large projects from my schools' server

my computer has both Intel Graphics and Nvidia, it uses Nvidia when it launches games and other programs that need a more demanding graphical processing ability

Unless your school forces you to use bitcomet, I'd recommend uTorrent. Been good to me in the past.

Oh you have one of Those kind of computers...I wonder if the GPU switching is causing the problem then. Is there any setting that allows you to keep the nVidia on during the entire session of windows (IE: To keep it on before the launcher is loaded all the way until after you close the game for the nite)?

I've tried that and it does not change anything.
The game worked before without a hitch and then a week after Titan Weapons it started to act like this.

Well that kinda sucks, game updates have been known to introduce "interesting" issues, but there's got to be something else going on.
