And I run Linux, so it's even more glitchy.

I've played COH on Linux since 2004, never been glitchy for me, but maybe the dev side...

The discussion is MiDs.

I've seen your build in the wild, you don't need Mids, you need a hail mary and a few gin and tonic

 

 

 

(no but generally the way i handle mids is when they tell you to use the in-app updater, wait a week, then reinstall from the website. when they tell you to reinstall from the website, wait a week, then use the in-app updater)

As Luminara gave a detailed explanation about, and I will sum up my understanding...

 

They had a Working MiDs.  They made major changes.  ALL OF WHICH MADE IT WORSE.

 

Yes, they are volunteers.  Hooray?!?

 

 

 

 

Again, harsh tone, and assuming they did it for funsies or maliciously, but no point arguing. Carry on.

I doubt this is your issue, but you never know. Are you opening MIDs via clicking on one of your build files using Explorer each time? And if so does a dialog box appear, even just for a second? If it does, it's likely that somewhere in your registry it's still has a file association for MDB to an old version (and is installing, or trying to reinstall that version). Change the file association for MDB files to the latest version, or start MIDS via the exe each time.

 

Just mentioning it as someone else was doing the same thing and having the same issues.

I'll always be thankful of those that have worked on Mids, past and present. Ever since learning about it, the program has always been with me as my trusty sidekick. It really made the game that much more fun for me. 🥳

 

I hope the issues you are encountering are reolved sooner than later. I know I wouldn't be as invested in my characters without it.

   @Snarky old boy, I know exactly why you are having so much trouble now with Mids. It's because you, as a crusty old Snaggletoothed Vampire, you have LONG nails!!! And every time you type on the keyboard or use your mousey mouse, they are either getting in the way or stabbing into them. After all, 3" or longer nails would get in the way for everyone most times. So cut your damn nails ol' boy! That will solve your problem... 😁
