Abraxus Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Come on folks. Help these guys help you! Work the process, and in most cases, the problem can be solved. From what I've seen, most issues seem to be tied to how the game client was originally installed, or conflicts with drivers and other things running on users computers, as opposed to problems with the game client itself. That means that they are helping you solve issues on your device, which is really generous of them. They really want everyone to be able to play the game, but they need your feedback using the prescribed process to do it. What was no more, is REBORN!

As someone who has worked in the industry (I was staff on Ultima Online for a while), it's never a good idea to try and claim the process is all, because software developers are often terrible at human resources skills, and if you don't know how to handle people then no matter how good your code is, you'll be unable to solve the problem because you don't know how to handle the interface between it and the real world applications of that code. I know you mean well, but the perfect example of where it can go wrong is I'd personally love to help, but the process described to me to help back on page 1 causes worse crashes and I'm still waiting on an explanation of how to avoid the patcher over-writing the changes. It's a bit insulting then to read your comments about how we the user somehow need to be more positive in helping. So, the reason why you never blame the customer is not because they're perfect, or you have to be a slave to them, but rather that you can't drive away someone who has already decided to dislike you, but you can upset someone who was favourable towards you by a poor choice of words. And whilst it's possible I have an edge case "on my device", but with PCs being entirely modular these days, writing code for multiple devices is to be expected, it's not a "generous" thing. That also misunderstands the way consumer reporting works; you'll never hear about most people's problems because most just don't bother chasing them. CoH's install base is also relatively small on top of that. But the issue can still be serious even if the pure data seems to be small; think of Bethesda declaring that the ability to steal someone's entire inventory, including real money purchased items, was only a limited bug that affected only a tiny majority of players. An absolutely catastrophic mis-representing of the actual severity of what the real issue was. So... by all means encourage people to help more. But the answer to something going wrong is never to point the finger at the person suffering it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxus Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) The Devs didn't say it. They likely never would. But, I did. And all I'm saying is the majority of problems that I have seen reported in the forums, seemed to lie in the computers running the game, as opposed to the game client. And since I'm nobody, if someone wants to be mad a me for saying so, that's fine. But, folks have to realize the difference. Using the system that the devs have established (rather than posting them in the forum threads) will help that happen, but the Devs can't be expected to solve every problem, on every computer running the game. Some of them will be unsolvable. By the same token, people can't expect the devs to change the game client because someone doesn't keep their computer up to date, or has other things running on their system that conflict with the game. As you mentioned, the player base for this iteration of the game is not as large as it once was, or as big as other games out there. But, the breadth of hardware, and operating systems that folks are using to play it with represents all 15 years that the game has existed. That's a lot to support, and there will have to be a line drawn if there is ever to be a hope to move things forward. They will do their best to solve problems that can justifiably require changes to the client, but I suspect that more often than not, it will be a matter of troubleshooting a localized issue instead. I want to see everyone who wants to play, be able to play, and obviously so do they. But, the truth is, when they finally draw the line, and move off the decade+ legacy support, there will be some problems that just can't be solved, which, while regrettable, is inevitable. They are bending over backwards to help, and that seems to get lost in the cacophony of reported problems. Edited January 10, 2020 by Abraxus What was no more, is REBORN!

But the answer to something going wrong is never to point the finger at the person suffering it. Mind you the process described to you wasn't to fix your issue (I just went and re-read it) but to troubleshoot what was crashing the client for you. My other point is, how do you know the volunteers here are software developers? I'd also say their interpersonal skills shown here and on discord are significantly higher than community managers on most commercial games. These people are trying to help you, and the others, give them the chance Mayhem It's my Oeuvre baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouze Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 On 1/7/2020 at 8:40 PM, Hellwraith said: Also unable to play without downloading the safe mode manifest. I have the most current drivers for the GTX-590, but the card is old so I have always gotten the driver warnings when starting CoX, but it's a watercooled card and I don't have the 1k to replace it, unfortunately. My OS is Windows 10-64 bit HE. Under both 64-bit and 32-bit modes, I can get through picking a server, but when it switches to the character selection screen, it's just a gray window, Windows reports CoH stopped responding, and I have to force it closed. Launching the application under administrator nor under safe mode help seems to make any difference. I was able to load to Pineapple, so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with having multiple pages of characters? I have a GTX-580 and have this same issue. I don't have multiple pages of characters (just one) so I don't think that is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrul Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hmm... The only issue I've had with the game was the Steam Controller not working correctly. I didn't even think to try safe mode and the responses I got from in-game queries was a combination of either "What's a steam controller?" or sarcastic remarks about trying to use new hardware on old programs. Never mind the controller was specifically designed to work with old programs to give them controller capability. Ah well, I'm going to search the forum again. Maybe something's been posted about this elsewhere now. And a big THANK YOU to the devs. I used to code on MUDs and remember how much of my free time that took up.

carroto Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Okay I've tried everything I can think of to get it working for me under KUbuntu Linux 18.04. I reinstalled my OS from scratch yesterday hoping a clean slate would help. Installed the latest wine (5.0). Downloaded the latest winetricks. Still crashing on load. Tried it with today's patch and I saw the crash reporter, that's nifty, but it looks like that crashed too. ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/CoX64/drive_c/Program Files/CoX/hc-bin64$ wine cityofheroes.exe -patchversion 20200121_679 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming 002b:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation 0xbd0000 0 0x22e360 4 stub 002b:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation 0xce0000 0 0x22e360 4 stub 002b:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation 0xe10000 0 0x22e360 4 stub 002b:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation 0xf20000 0 0x22e360 4 stub Running City of Heroes preloading DLLs.. done (0.01) CityOfHeroes client count: 1 num cpus = 12 / 12 002b:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION loading message stores.. done.

City Council Number Six Posted January 23, 2020 City Council Share Posted January 23, 2020 Are you sure that whatever you're using to download updates is working correctly? Both of those outputs show that it's missing the homecoming-specific patch files. They should be in a "homecoming" directory under ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/test1/drive_c/Program\ Files/CoX Crash on "Loading badges" (and the missing cgfx files) are both a dead giveaway that patch piggs are not being loaded. Edit: Just thought of it: Using a relative -patchdir like that is sensitive to the current directory. So try running it from one level up: ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/CoX64/drive_c/Program Files/CoX$ wine hc-bin64/cityofheroes.exe -patchversion 20200121_679 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I've been beating my head against a wall for days trying to get this working and I can't believe I ended up missing something so simple. I don't care at this point. It's hard to believe the game is actually running not in safe mode. I was starting to think it was time to make my peace with walking away. Thanks for taking the time to look at this. 😍 1 Make your own proc chance charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that is the case, the first thing I would try is whitelisting the directory where you have COH saved within the anti-virus software. How this is done is different for each of them so, I would refer you to that program’s documentation. I'm not very tech savvy. How do I do this? EDIT!! Nevermind! Fixed it.

SuburbanHell Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I have to use Safe Mode because there seems to be a lack of controller support. I play with a Dual Shock 4 doesn't work in 32 or 64-bit modes -- game does not respond to controller at all in those modes. Worked fine before the client split, but since then I've only been able to use Safe Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to open up your Options menu, select the Controls tab, and toggle through the "Device" option under the "Game Controller" section to let the game accept it as a form of input.

MetaVileTerror Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 This should probably be bumped and more avenues of announcement should probably be employed around now. I saw in the Beta forums that Safe Mode's days are coming to an end with Page 5. If that's true, then I really think a strong campaign should be made to reach those last few hold outs and help them get on to the newer clients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true, then I really think a strong campaign should be made to reach those last few hold outs and help them get on to the newer clients. Absolutely! I figure no matter what you do, there will be a few who will attempt to login after the patch goes live, and go into panic mode when they can no longer find safe mode as a choice on their menu. But, every effort should be made to get the word out via every communication means available. Specific announcements on Discord, and a specific announcement on the forum as well. If there is a FB group, Instagram, Twitter...whatever. Let's spread the word to minimize the issue ahead of time. It's going to be hectic enough just sorting through legitimate issues with the changes themselves. The Devs don't need to be spending inordinate amounts of time solving safe-mode issues as well, which had ample opportunity to be resolved long before that day, had the folks with the problem heard. I know most of us get the majority of our information from here, and Discord, but not everybody pays attention to those regularly. Those are the folks who will be caught unaware on go-live day. Please encourage folks who know they are using safe mode to try moving off, and if they still have problems, to submit a ticket. It's a rare chance to be proactive!

VileTerror Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Would it be possible for an Admin to send a Global Tell to every account, so that the next time a player logs in, the message is there? Or a Pop-Up with a 10 second countdown timer before you can click the "OK" button? Or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaVileTerror Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I saw the one in Tequila, but it doesn't really "POP," so I could see plenty of players not noticing it. The actual pop-up for the Safe Mode Client, however; yeah. That's pretty blatant. A countdown timer might still be helpful, though. I had a colleague publish a minor paper on the significant impact of countdown timers in games. I'll take a looksie on my old portable harddrive next time I plug it in if anyone wants a copy. Pretty compelling stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
