So, something weird happened with my Window 10 laptop and a bad mouse causing 81 instances of CoH opening (I base this on the number of error reports it generated in the 1 minute period before I had to just shut the thing down) and error messages saying the video card wasn't compatible and I had to actually shut down the machine because it was clogged to the point of not being able to do anything.

 

Previously I ran CoH with no issues. Now everything else runs fine, but when I bring up Tequila and attempt to launch City of Heroes (64 or 32 bit) it just hangs on the blue "Loading" mini-screen. When I close it after a minute it just moves CoH.exe to the "Background Processes" eating up 14% processor power and 125 MB. Trying again and closing it dumps ANOTHER copy into the Background Processes. I remove those by ending process on them.

 

I've tried deleting the whole City of Heroes directory and re-downloading it and that hasn't helped.

 

Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Update: A hearty thanks to Michiyo on the Discord who got me straightened out.

 

For those who ever experience a similar issue, they said to delete the Shaders folder from %localappdata%\NCSoft\CoX\Shaders.

 

Since the folder is hidden by default, use the Window button + R and copy/paste the location into it will get you there.

 

Again, a big tip of the hat to Michiyo, a true hero (for me at least).
