Hi yall, This game runs decently well on my laptop, a little stuttering here and there but no major complaints, except for when I'm on a team and we go into a sewer map. I think it's the water that is giving my computer issues, because the only way I can play at all is to turn my camera up to the ceiling and target through one of my teammates. Otherwise, when I have water in my field of view, my frame rate drops to like 2 fps. I turned water effects down to zero, all of the ultra settings are turned off, and I'm generally running everything else extremely minimally, but it's as bad as ever. There was one time recently when I ran a DFB and I think my map glitched because no water appeared, and it's the best my game has ever run, period - so I really do think it's the water. Is there anything else I can do here? Thanks for any help!

Thank you so much! I'm gonna follow your instructions and will see how it goes - so so so much appreciated!

Hi everyone, First of all let me say how THRILLED I am to be playing city of heroes again. I started around issue 5 back in the day and played consistently til the day it was shut down. Every once in a while I would google city of heroes...just to see. I hadn't done so in a while but last week I searched again on a whim and I cannot tell you how I felt finding out about homecoming. The feeling I had when that familiar loading screen popped up on my desktop truly was like coming home after so many years. So that brings me to the topic at hand: I'm running with an amount of lag that makes the game pretty much unplayable. I was able to solo a villain to level 6 the other day, but I had to have my camera pointed to the ground 100% of the time. And I pretty much can't be in Atlas Park at all. I have my graphics set to the absolute minimum (truly everything is turned off). My graphics software is fully updated and I changed my power settings to run at max... Before doing that I couldn't even walk around, so it helped a little, but I still can't really play the game. This is the laptop I have and I've seen some discussion that there might be an incompatibility with the intel processor? could that be the issue, and if so, is there a way around it? do I literally just need a different computer? or is there anything else I can do at this point? any advice would be really greatly appreciated! EDIT: I also just followed the instructions for "# How to fix City of Heroes issues with OpenGL on Intel video cards (GPUs)" in the pinned Install and Troubleshooting guide and I'm not seeing any noticeable difference. 😕

hello I'm having this same issue right now, did you ever get it working?
