When Homecoming came back I had terrible crashes like 1-5 times an hour. It was a tough run circa 2019-2021 but HC team's best improvement was the introduction of the Homecoming client. Here's some old thoughts from over the years supporting friends or old SG guild mates. There was an old game loader called Tequila but the new Homecoming client is better. This alone fixed 90% of my problems. The move from 32 bit to 64 bit OS even further fixed my issues. Homecoming Launcher - Homecoming The Homeccoming client has a crash detector DIAG client. That might help out and give data to share with support and more technical people. If you are a Linux or Mac player there are some sub forums that can help. I am a boring Windows person. I recommend updated video/Network card and processor drivers but not all the time and sometimes it is good to stay on NOT the latest and greatest. I have had the most updaated drivers fix and cause issues. I once updated video drivers and something did not get along with COH as the graphics looked really bad until I had to rollback to a previous version. Another time I HAD to update my network card drivers to fix rubber banding that just .... started one day. Awful week as I thought my computer was dying in general. Close out of other programs when you play and re-introduce one at a time in case there is something going on. I play on very old computer and she no longer keeps up watching the news and COH on the second monitor some days. If you do not reboot your computer, I recommend a daily reboot no matter if it hurts. While I am at it a monthly home router reboot never hurts monthly too. I also recommend wired internet over wireless if that is an option. If wireless is your only option try another trusted wireless internet spot outside of your home. A friend in a dormitory situation simply could not play COH but at a local library it ran fine. Every now and then a verify or repair on the game client. There are three periods in the lower right corner of HC client launch This old game sometimes just needs that refresh. Old Wn Vista story - I once had something self destruct so bad I had to install to a new \coh2 folder, I could not get past the logon/password screen. I cannot explain it but something in that \coh folder would allow me to connect but I did not want to lose my AE, costumes and files until I moved them over. Finally, no very full hard drives.... if you have a very full hard drive might be time to clean up old files. The more technical people probably have an army further of ideas.

No I don’t bitterly remember being locked out of the event. COH fans never hold a grudge.

Speak up I can't hear you on the big box monitor I am using from 1999

I missed this Saturday but a day later it's at 96%! Ty COH-HC Community!

Take 'em out first. A weak PUG group will fall apart when the surgeons keep healing from a long range. Now I want to run an ITF so I can cry in beer over the xp i am not getting from <2% of the TF.

Aww. I missed this outbreak of spsmmers. Not really, but Ty volunteers for the clean up.

I love the numbers. I think in years past it was described as a labor of love and not a quick task. Thank you again. LOVE THE ROADMAP! Of course subject to change. Oh, yeah all those Khledians will simply have to go.

My favorite content is COH lore. I look forward to the art and stories this will generate in future content.

Turn up difficulty settings too. I found myself on auto pilot and not feeling engaged. With more and stronger mobs on screen you cannot just go thru the motions any more and spend some times making new tactics.

Likely Announcement Soon (TM)

That was part of an in-zone event for Halloween I wrote up once. Something triggers the familiar zombie event, but with a twist as members of the Freedom Phalanx, recognizable NPCs and lore related zombified characters show up in the zombie horde with the final battle 1-6 members of the Zombie Freedom Phalanx. The defeat of the final Zombie Big Bads frees them of the zombie curse, sends them back to zombie dimension or dead characters like Statesman are laid back to rest until the next time the zombified heroes walk the earth.

I cannot think of one bizarre silver age comic villain or hero.

the ship has sailed, time to follow that direction.

any chance the account being added is mis-spelled? Same experience with a different account you are trying to add?

Ah yes, time to move into the Peregrine motel for the next month….

Ty devs, volunteers and COH players for support whether $$, organizing events or just new and learning the game. 🙂

I feel like after reading this thread I have grown as a COH player. Mostly I have grown to hate poor font selection.

I tried to share a pic but website fighting me. I was going to steal from wiki. Maroon is debt and blue is patrol experience. I always manage to forget the colors.

Welcome to game. There is 20 years of content to catch up on so don’t worry if you only made it to level 8. 🙂

Some times the character runs out of steam by level 10, 20, 50 or incarnate and I walk away. The character in my mind has gone to their story conclusion and it makes since. Not every character should be an incarnate. I also find it’s a power set that just doesn’t fit the way I want to play lately. Sometimes a respec, new costume or content update gets the old spark going again or even an alignment change and I am off to Rogue Isles. i could not imagine this game with only 8 character slots on a server 😛

These conversations are ridiculous. ....you need a handsome and single starfish....

No gas stations and that damn high way in port oakes is still not finished after 20 years. Where are my stolen tax dollars going in this game?

Customizing MM pets would be incredible, though I'm not familiar with the coding complexity. I respect the legacy code and the potential complications it brings, so I'll just leave it there. Additionally, having the capability to form in-game groups as masterminds would be great. I've always wanted to lead my own MM team of Hellions or Rikti. I've been a COH fanboy longing for these features since the launch of COV.
