[QUOTE="Marius Delphus, post: 2891460, member: 447"] Might be your machine: Make sure all your drivers are up to date (esp graphics and sound cards). Make sure you're not running any in-game options that your machine only barely supports or doesn't support at all (disable advanced graphics if you have an older graphics card; disable physics engine to test). COH has a Safe Mode option that you can check on the updater/pre-loading window before getting into the game; try that and see if you notice a difference (other than graphical and audio). "Issue 7" appears to have introduced a small but steady memory leak; do you have 1 GB of RAM or more (pretty much required these days), and if you have less than 2 GB, do you have Virtual Memory set to system managed? (With 1 GB myself, I'm getting forcibly disconnected after about 4 hours logged in, and I have to manually kill the process through Task Manager thereafter.) Might be your connection: Run a DOS command window and use ipconfig /flushdns command. Manually reset your cable modem (on some models, pull the power, wait 30-60 seconds, then re-plug power; on others there may be a physical switch). Manually reset your router if you have one (I don't have one so don't know how to do this, but this has helped in at least one case I'm privy to). Test while connected directly to the cable modem instead of the router. If you can, try opening the ports COH uses on your firewall (I don't have the list at hand, but I can dig it up if nothing else helps). Might be a busy server: Try connecting at off-peak times if you can; use the East Coast servers (Freedom, Infinity, Liberty, Pinnacle, Victory, Triumph) after midnight Eastern and the West Coast servers (Champion, Guardian, Justice, Protector, Virtue, Training Room (Test Server)) before 5 pm Pacific, for example. Use the least busy server -- it's the one *second* in the list, generally (the first listed is the one you last logged into, regardless of population; the rest are listed in increasing order of current population). Hope something in there is of help. [/QUOTE]
