  1. Um after changing the setting at the log in screen you hit apply then to close the setting windows you have to hit the very very tiny red circle under the cancel button. Also the guide tells you how to change setting from the registry if you have issues.
  2. If you are talking about the cohmac.zp torrent it rather new and macOS is not as in use as windows so yeah I'm about the only one seeding it right now. Which is why I also gave a couple other option to download cohmac.zip If you are talking about the windows torrent welp last time I check it had 60+ seeds and capped out my DL speed of 8.0MB/s which made it a under 10 download. I checked it again just now and: so I dunno what you are going on about barring you got really unlucky and happened to try and download when all the seeder had their PC off for some reason which is highly unlikely So I have to say check out things on your end. When in game I have a few things moved around and it keeps it that way but have you tried changing your settings then after hitting apply hitting the "save option to file" button? I use that too. It creates a options.txt which should keep all your chosen changes? If it worked there will be a message in the top chat windows saying savedin c/games/coh or cityofheroes etc
  3. Not heard many people on w10 have this problem, so might seem stupid but have you tried running in w7 compatibility mode?
  4. You would need to reach out to Arakendo in the discord, he's usually in one of the two discords in my OP, as this is his project and I dont have a Mac so and not familiar enough with macOS to give more detailed help like that. Someone on page 8 seemed to have a similar issue, dunno if this help you any.
  5. Updated my bar a little.
  6. Oh nice I knew about attument and boosting but wasn't aware that purples were "attuned" so to speak by default... ty
  7. Here made this for you if you can use torrents. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3AFBC62D7C92B5B55739DA4467DA54FA6D92BAB1&dn=cohmac.zip You can try this too should be faster. https://fil.email/jpL1toPR
  8. You can put it all in D/games/cityofheroes no problem, we suggest that otherwise people try to run the game right from their downloads folder, or documents etc etc and we suggest not making a games folder in the root as sometimes there issues with the game being in say d/city or c/city
  9. What name change policy are you guys going on about? Certainly not anything to do with copyrighted names I hope seeing as this is a private server an all...lol
  10. Nice stuff you got done there Kheprera! Did a little more work on my bar today after running DIB a couple times.
  11. It should be acting like that, because when you run it directly you haven't provided it with patch directory, patch date or authserver IP. Tequila is more of a launcher than an installer app, thus why you need to launch the game with it. It also provides updates, if any are available, when you first start it so be sure to close it after every session.
  12. How do you mean it stuck at downloading homecoming.exe? Did you rename the score folder to homecoming? IF it gets "stuck" something is blocking your download. Sorry I have been busy doing car repairs the last couple days and still have some to do tomorrow...so haven't been around much here in the forums or in discord.
  13. OK, I went through the OpenGL shim process. It worked just fine, but I really didn't see any difference in performance with and without it. I did discover that my Surface Go tablet really just needed to be lifted off of the flat surface it was laying on--amazing what just a little air-cooling can do. However, if people are experiencing heat throttling, they definitely need to do something to bring the device temp down or it will still throttle the CPU down to 400MHz. I am running the game Windowed, with FSAA disabled and the graphics set to minimum. There is no point in enabling the advanced settings since they don't really affect the performance once you're at minimum anyway. Windows Defender antivirus doesn't seem to affect performance either, although I did exclude the CoH directory from being scanned. Playtesting with this setup is usable, but there are still areas where it lags. High-activity areas, like where the trainers are standing, are always laggy. The cave and sewer instance maps have a considerable amount of lag as well. Other maps and indoor areas are crisp and fast, even if you bump up the graphics quality. My belief is that even if your computer isn't throttled, it's very possible that the CPU under Windows 10 is just too pokey to handle the data being thrown at when it hits those lag-heavy areas. My wife has a Dell XPS 13 with Intel HD 620 video, and her system flies through everything with high level graphics enabled. Her laptop has an i7 which turbo boosts up to 4ghz. My Surface Go has a pentium gold 4415y, which has only 2 cores and a max speed of 1.6ghz, and has turbo boost disabled in the hardware. Final verdict: The Surface Go can play CoH, but it's going to suffer lag no matter what you do because the CPU simply isn't powerful enough to handle the high load areas. I wont argue as I think in your case it was indeed a heat/throttling issue and this may even be the case for some other with weaker laptops. The shim thing though isn't really a fix for having a weaker laptop or Surface Go like you have as that wasn't really designed with gaming in mind like some of the top end laptops are. The shim fix is for people with laptops that are perhaps a little more highend or outright gaming laptops that are having issues due to windows 10 not having proper OpenGL support.
  14. Your post makes it sound like the game is in COX with tequila files in tequila along with the data folder. As for the default method it's c:/games/coh or cityofheroes It has been what we have been suggesting both here and in discord since bree. See the guide in my link and see discord. It's like that for a reason as the torrent is one I provided and is also the one pinned in discord. Once the new launcher is done if a torrent is still needed I will be updating the one we use now and will probably add vidiotmaps in it by default with the updated maps.
  15. Please don't advise people that need help for something as simple to do, as this, to do that. Use the KISS rule. All that does it make it harder for us SCOTS Tech Volunteers to help people when they have issues and come see us on discord. Just keep everything in your game folder so if you installed the game in C:/Games/COH (or cityofheroes) put all game related stuff in coh (cityofheroes). You should have the game files AND the launcher (tequila) files in there so have it install there too. The mod data folder should be in the coh (cityofheroes). Not saying the method mentioned above doesn't work but it's simply asking for trouble if you don't know what you're doing and makes it hard for us tech volunteers from Discord to help you.
  16. Yup it's a known issue, if you run into other hiccups be sure to visit the guide I wrote as I try to put in any known fixes to various problems so if someone knows how to do it and shares it on the forums it's in there.
  17. Good to know, btw you must have a filter list in particular that blocks it cause I gave Ublock Origin and have no trouble.
  18. Have you tried to Alt+Enter to switch between FS and windowed? If that doesn't work Look at my guide in the troubleshooting section there more methods to resolution problems. See siggy below
  19. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I did discover something very interesting with my Surface Go (Intel HD 615). No amount of default Windows software settings or drivers solved the problem. Neither did undervolting with Throttlestop, which only resulted in my tablet locking up. Turns out Microsoft's entire Surface line is designed to throttle the CPU at the first hint of an increase in heat. And it throttles all the way down to 400mhz. It won't stop until the heat level goes back down. If you play at room temperature, it will start throttling the moment the game is loaded. So I put an ice pack under my tablet, and the temp stayed so low that it never throttled, and I could play just fine. I'm willing to bet that most of the people with integrated GPU are using devices with little to no cooling, and Win10 is overzealous when it comes to heat throttling. So if I can combine your solution with the ice pack, I may be able to get rid of lag everywhere. I'll follow up when I've had a chance to test it. Good to know, will see if we can get others to test this out and see if this solves problems for some people.
  20. Yes via tequila it is slow via the torrent it is quick.
  21. You have 2gb ram. When you sli ram the ram on each doesn't add up so you are do not get/use 4gb in all but only 2gb. https://www.wepc.com/tips/difference-between-nvidia-sli-and-amd-crossfire/
  22. Very handy ty for this. Downloaded a copy of the pdf. :) The targeting bind will be quite a useful QOL upgrade for me. ;D
  23. Other than drum up drama I don't get the point of this thread.
  24. Good to know thanks for the tips. This should be stickied in the guides section lol
