Not sure if any AlphaStrikers from the original OG servers are around HC but I thought I'd try. Here goes... It is with a heavy heart to tell that Nyght has passed. After a courageous battle with cancer, he passed on last week. For those that don't know him, Nyght was a founding member of AlphaStrike from the OG servers. He played most of all the issues and loved the game. Came back to it with the Homecoming started up. Angyl and I very enjoyed his time with us in the SG leadership and his humor. Most of all, we will miss his friendship. We were able to meet him with his boys and PseudoCool at Grand Rapids ComicCom several years ago. He was as advertised, a great guy and staunch friend. I hope there are some strikers out there still that are knocking around on Homecoming see this. If so, post up. We are thinking of a memorial on the Excelsior server in the near future. We have the funeral arrangements if wanted. Nyght, your ever smart ass comments, your steadfast and ever present ear, your willingness to try something new, and your love of the game made being your Super Group lead, your IT specialist ;) and, most of all, your friend a treasure and an honor. Godspeed, my Brother. 1st Pic- Nyght is on the Right Lt to Rt: PseudoCool, Puros, Lil'Puros, Angyl and Nyght 2nd Pic- OG AlphaStrike

HI, Myself, Living Brain 3000, GM Kal and GM Glyph spent some time trying to help out Mockya (Hailz to Egypt) with Graphics lag. It seems that Mockya has an onboard or integrated graphics driver and was experiencing great amount of lag that made the game unplayable. However, Mockya was able to play other games of higher graphic load in his PC without the lag. This got me thinking that due to the age of COH that there might be a Windows compatibility issue. My wife was having the same issues on her PC. So, I tried the compatibility troubleshooter on COH and had some success. Here's what I did: Type Compatibility in to the windows search bar next to the Start button. Select the "Run program made for previous version of Windows" This brings up a list of programs that the troubleshooter can effect. Select "Not listed" It will then give you the ability to browse for the file. Go to your COH install folder. Make you select the COH icon that is labled "Homecoming." There are several files that are similar but it is the "Homecoming" file. The next screen will pop up. Select "Try recommended settings" It will a screen that has a "test" on it. Run the test. It will open and then close the program. It is working through the settings. Once is it done. Hit Next. Next it will give a "Yes, save these settings for this program" option. Select that. The next screen will list, "incompatible program fixed" From there close the troubleshooter. Run program and see how it works. Now, we are thinking that the program might be best served if it is installed on C : drive. If you run this troubleshooter, have installed it other than the C : Drive and are still having problems, try moving the install to the C : Drive. Make sure you make completely delete the other install first. No program does well with 2 installs or partial install that it has to figure out which to read. I am sure that a PC guru will disagree. If so please post a possible fix. I am just a Basement IT guy. I was trying to post images for the tutorial put not having luck finding a free image hosting site. Any suggestions with be helpful. Now, this is a possible fix with limited testing. IE: 1 PC. Let me know how it goes for you. Thanks Puros

Lo'all Looking for the old crew. Sparks, Katie, Street, Med...just to name a few. We miss you all. Your favorite Stogie Chompin' Ogre Puros

HI, I was thinking of a great addition to Superbases. Can you make target dummies that can be placed in the Superbase. I have seen some suggestion of the Rialto Target dummie but it is not in the Superbase item list. Target dummies would be great for testing out powers and running numbers. The Outbreak has Target dummies so you should have to reinvent the wheel. Can they be made to be usable in the SG base. Just think... Thanks Puros
