OS? Version? Does it do the same running from the command line? If you try it from the command line, post your results as a text file, please.

Can anyone offer insight as to why Mid's Reborn would run V E R Y S L O W L Y under WINE on lInux? The same hardware actually runs the game slightly /faster/ under WINE. I'm not suggesting it's a priority for you, it's just so slow I can't really make use of it. MR is sufficiently useful to resort to booting into WIndows, abhorrent as that is to me, but if there's a fix on my end, I'll be glad to implement it. Does it maybe have a soft dependency that makes it resort to an emulation mode (the way some gfx programs fall back to CPU rendering when the GPU is not recognized)? Thanks again for all your hard work!

Many folks are math-phobic, and the sight of the sigma sends them running. Also, humans are story-loving critters, so adding a narrative to your guide might be able to overcome knee-jerk innumeracy. In any event, thanks for all your work!

Yes, I tried all that, even reinstalled and tried a different account. In my case, it was definitely a patch that broke directinput.

Delighted to hear it!

I had this issue under WINE on linux. A WINE update broke things, then a later one fixed them. Maybe check for a newer update?

Just a note: On my Mac, the game was crashing to desktop (after downloading 1st patch, it still worked, though). Seems the rollback killed it. The fix was to rescan all files: it grabbed a new CoH.exe, and all was well.

Don't listen to him, Bopper! The math may be hairy, but basic science is its own reward! Call, with the formulae here you could fix Mid's Reborn if it has the wrong numbers for something. That's worthwhile. I won't be calculating these by hand, either, but having the data here can benefit more than just players. The devs may refer to this when creating new powersets. Thanks very much, Bopper!

Brilliant guide! Just a small note, if you've forgotten your base passcode (or aren't sure which one is for THIS server), if you nonetheless remember the WORD part, you can type: /sgpasscode word and the game will return your current passcode. Thanks for all the great guides!

Mine resolved after several tries, Szgany, how did yours do? Perhaps the servers were a bit bogged by everyone getting the patches?

Is anyone else running on a Mac and having the game hang at "Parsing File List?" It launched OK once today, but now mine hangs.

Also with a teleporting toon, thanks muchly! May I humbly suggest something along these lines: /macro_image "Teleportation_TeleportFriend" "Teleport Menu" "popmenu tp-menu" (Can't check right now, but should work, and give a little polish to your fine menu!) Would it be difficult to add the Translocation power (comes free with Mystic Flight from the Sorcery Pool)? That way I could visit the Gull and lose the 'toaster popup' power tray. BTW, as a Teleport lover, I find Mystic Flight to be the best personal teleport power. I need to see if Zephyr enhancements added to MF carry over to boost Translocation range.

My favorite is Turkey Pepperoni (so, no turkey in it as opposed to no ham, as is not found in regular pepperoni), Vidalia onions, sliced black olives, and pineapple on half, for variety. Toppings in roughly descending order. And THIN, yeasty crust, dammit: Chicago-style is a form of lasagna!

I tried several times, kept getting "Transaction Failed." Not sure what's wrong, but between a Nemesis Plot and Paypal, my money's on Paypal.

I'd lose the Dell Support Software as well. Of course, I'd lose Windows, too, if I had my druthers. Good catch!

Ah, of course. Sorry, my forgettory is still working!

Ah yes. Defeating the Kraken. One... Tentacle... At... A... Time!

As the other guy who took Group Fly, I feel your pain and like your ideas. The only way it ever worked for me was to cast it and then Follow a teammate. Let them lead. That way, I couldn't outrun them, and nobody fell out of the sky. (Even if I had Rez...) Fixing the speed so everyone moves at the same rate would go a long way to helping GF. Also, remove the -Acc debuff. That causes a lot of whining that I could live without. (Even if I had Leadership to counteract it...)

Also, it's a canard at this point, but CoH is unique among MMOs that the level 50 game isn't THE game. A lot of us enjoy the journey. And there are definitely features in the game (such as Exemplar/Sidekicking, and whatever the Villain names are) that make it unnecessary to dash to 50 at Super Speed.

Adding them to base, you insert a Facemaker either side, the Icon version is one of the styles. But at least for me, they function only as a regular tailor in-base. Had to go to Pocket D to change my body type. Thanks, Itsyagirl!

I'm on Fedora 30, running under wine via Play on Linux. CoH has been running great, better than under Windows (& eliminating my last reason to boot Win 10). Last week a patch for wine and assorted libraries dropped, and suddenly my mouse lost the functions of its right and middle buttons. The GUI clearly knows the buttons have been clicked (buttons do their little "throb" animation), but no effect in-game. I tried rolling back, but DNF says no go. I tried creating a new virtual drive, still no mouse love. Only the left mousebutton does anything. If anyone has any clue to offer, please do. I'm facile with Linux but not very experienced with Wine, and my google-fu has failed me. Please, please save me from the Microsoft monster!

Here's a off-the-wall wish: Has anyone tried compiling the client with target ARM64? Best, Doctor Ditko

I'd like to see a little love for the Travel powers. Especially Superspeed and Teleport. Right now, Mystic Flight is a better Teleport than Teleport: you don't have to go into the Flight Pool to get Hover just to keep from getting killed by the Lagmonster. And Superspeed is the most annoying Travel power for running around town. Getting hung up on the scenery is a royal pain. Maybe a bit more Jump height when you're travelling at speed. And generally, keep up the good work!

There is some kind of dice command, IIRC. If I could log in (thanks, Verizon!), I'd quote the syntax. Would that help?
