yep got mapserver disconnected a few times then the server i was on went down.
Noticed one server is offline and a few keep going to offline then back up.
But so far i cant seam to actually play on the server i was on.
On the character i was playing a few others the map location says unknown and when i try to load the character i get an error saying map not found.
if I use a differing character with a map listed, the game gives an error saying no launcher available, map cannot be created.
so looks like like some issues on the servers side.
As for the graphic issues......disconnecting due to leaves......
wow I recall people complaining about that back when city of heroes first came out. They ran low end stuff so it was kind of expected.
I run it now and my computer does not even notice the leaves or anything.
Maybe turn down your particles and shadow settings...sounds like you are using an XX60 type graphics card(ie a 2260 or a 1060 or a 460 as example all low end game cards...you want an 8-0 series...like a 480 or 1080 or 980 or 2080 as examples)
As i recall 99 percent of the graphic issues people had in the 2000s where due to shadows or particles or the point of view settings that added fog to everything. Which was silly in my opinion, since the real world does not have blur or fog on everything less then 5 feet away, if you see that then you need to have your eyes checked...or stop cooking with your grill while you are playing games.
