Interesting. My system ran with similar performance in Windows with any of those sliders. (Not calling you a liar or anything, I believe you. Just wondering what the variable(s) is/are here.)

That was meant for you. Open Tequila, check Options, and see if the Install Path matches where you're looking for the game. If the path is NOT the place you were looking, that will give you a hint where the files are being written. Tequila doesn't tell the client to write to that folder, BUT the client files are updated and launched from that path. If the path is under the following directories, I strongly advise moving the entire Tequila folder somewhere else. If moving the files don't work, starting over in a folder like "c:\Games\Tequila" might be helpful: c:\Program Files c:\Program Files (x86) c:\Windows c:\Users

Check the Tequila install location. It might not be where you think it is, perhaps?

It's hard to be sure why it's happening. I doubt it's the in-game settings that are affecting it, I also use a 1050 card and in Ubuntu 20.04, it runs quite well hardware-wise. There's still the input glitch, and having to run in Windowed mode only... again, Linux gameplay isn't supported by the developer team. Doesn't mean you can't do it anyway, but filing tickets in support saying Linux play is broken will get a form letter saying "Linux play is unsupported." It's up to players to find any workarounds. It might be locking up. It might be when the video halts you're playing blind. (Your character arrived, but the client video isn't working.) Both the 1050 and 1650 should have Vulkan support so DXVK support should be enabled in Lutris if they haven't got those turned on (Right click your launcher, Config, DXVK should be a radio button on one of the pages.) If they are on, I'd see if there any updates pending for Lutris or Wine that might be needed. You can also try the DXVK library yourself and install the bleeding edge one instead of the one that comes with Lutris. https://linuxconfig.org/improve-your-wine-gaming-on-linux-with-dxvk

The same rules apply as a FBSA/Fateweaver. Changing difficulty once a mission started has no effect on any active mission (whether you're in the door or not.) If you abandon progress on an active mission, set the difficulty in Quick Chat, then restart the mission it will take effect. (AE/Task Forces, same, except you have to start over from Mission 1 for the new difficulty to take effect.)

Exactly, school isn't all K-12. College, parenting kids and changing shifts in retail to take advantage of that are also a part of the impact.

Ignoring this year's particular situation, August and September historically have decreased attendance counts across MMO properties due to school impacts. There will be some bounce-back when Fall is actually underway as folks adjust to the routine and return for a distraction.

The first part after the changes for multi-server was put into the Calendar setup, we found that the block wasn't very usable. So it was pulled it off the homepage. As for the second part, it's already baked in. Click on "All Calendars" for a drop down list. One server's events, piece of cake. 👍 The link in the Address Bar once you're there can be bookmarked.

Please do not recreate threads we've removed from the boards. Thanks.

There is an issue with some transfers. I've been informed there is a fix server side which will be applied Tuesday. Any transfers stuck then should be carried out. I'm sorry it's affected your characters all weekend, and if it continues past Tuesday, please let us know.

I have had zero luck with open source drivers (NVidia's own 450 and the reverse-engineered Nouveau) on Linux when playing City of Heroes. Does the 440 driver work on your system?

This was OVER a year ago. Manifest Address: https://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml Beta Manifest: https://manifest.cohhc.gg/testing.xml Please use only these two manifest addresses.

Yup, like most places, Windows, assembly parts, and KVM not included. (Except Windows, most folks building one would use on hand stuff or pull from a working system to upgrade.)

Saw this article in The Verge... https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/26/21403085/nzxt-prebuilt-gaming-pc-starter-series-affordable-windows-pricing Later in the article, the weak point of the Core i3 is addressed, and the relatively low RAM compared to 16 or 32GB being the standard in gaming systems around the $999 price point, but both are quibbles if you make your own system (Got an extra $400 a year later after buying it? Go upgrade them yourself.) I'm curious what builds you all can come up with that you'd consider for an entry level player to get into City of Heroes. Some ground rules: 1) No laptops. This is PC Builders, a gaming laptop comes with almost everything it is ever going to have. What's the fun in that? 2) No pre-built. Same as the above consideration, except: if it's a pre-made solution under $699, it's no different than price-hunting at Amazon. This isn't "The Price is Right", the cheapest possible alternative isn't always the winner (and often, a 'gaming system' dramatically lower than $600 bucks means a lot of compromise to realize that savings). 3) Price cannot exceed $700. If it does, it's not really a budget-friendly machine anymore. Try to get the best you can under that price point. 4) The resulting system should be able to multibox City of Heroes well, not just play it. Ultra Mode isn't able to be 100% realized with all settings at maximum without actually trying the parts yourself, so that's not a goalpost here. Frame load and performance is the focus: being able to run two sessions at 60fps without needing /maxinactivefps switches or dialing down your Options settings to Minimum or Performance settings is enough. 5) The items must be on the market at the time you made your post. If something becomes discontinued or out of stock later after you contribute a build, don't worry about it too much. But builds centered around items not sold in retail anymore on only through refurb or closeout (My secret weapon: a NIB NVidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti!) are less helpful. Entries should be something a reader could build today. If you're really passionate about an answer, break one rule if you absolutely must... except #3. ("I can beat all your answers! My build has a Core i9-9990XE--" Okay you can stop there.) This will be an ongoing challenge, and a friendly one. I'll contribute some build ideas myself. So fire up Newegg (or your favorite retail website for parts shopping), and see what you can come up with!

Hyperstrike is right. Everyone starts over at Level 1 again. You CAN, however import any costumes you've kept from the live game in .costume files, or from Sentinel+ downloads, if you have any of those.

That one! (Points over there.)

That happens when the files are being incompletely downloaded. If you're on Wi-Fi, see if switching to Ethernet temporarily finishes the update. If not, keep in mind network interruptions or outages will leave some files unfinished. Closing and reopening Tequila will process the incomplete files until the client is ready. You might have to do this a few times. If after 3-5 times the same file keeps showing up as a download error, another possibility is making sure of the following: Tequila is not installed in C:\Users, C:\Program Files (both the x86 and regular ones), C:\Windows or any subdirectories beneath those folders. An example of a recommended location is "C:\Games\Tequila" Your anti-virus and security programs has the Tequila directory listed as an exception and is not scanned.

You can delete a character regardless of SG membership or leadership. @TempestArcher you can turn in a support ticket, and we can carry out the deletion for you with your consent.

Did some surgery here. Please follow up with your primary care physician, drink plenty of fluids, and keep on topic. I'll set the next appointment in three weeks. 🙂 (Seriously, this got waaay away from the OP. Back to PB builds.)

Tequila hasn't changed in version number in over a year. On top of that the md5 being reported is blank. This could be happening for a different reason. Are you able to download the file directly from http://patch.savecoh.com/tequila20.exe yourself? If the download fails or is blocked for some reason, you'll find out quickly.

I would try deleting the Tequila related .xml files from the game directory next. A configuration option or setting may be messing the app up.

Any Windows Updates pending? Particularly for .NET Framework? Usually fastest method to finish those is a simple reboot, but sometimes they get stuck. Open Settings, Updates & Security, then see if Windows Update needs attention.

They should be mission markers indicating you have an open mission on that map, but they don't always work. That would be an example. If that mission is from Borea, she's a repeating mission contact, so those markers may not appear all the time. (Ephraim Sha, Meg Mason, etc.) If I'm seeing the above correctly, you haven't talked to Maria. They do not work on any contact you do not know yet. Maria Jenkins in the left pane hasn't been "introduced" to your character, so you'd need to talk to her in person for those markers to start to appear. (Teleport to Contact first.)

You probably didn't have to do that. In the future, the Freebies Popmenu is hard-coded into our Beta client, but can be replaced by a menu file if you saved one in the Data folder. If you rename the Data folder and the menu is fixed, that's most likely what happened.
