The Big Giant Icon Thread

[streamwave]

I'm running windows 7 and done what was said. Every time I try to get on it isn't letting me. In order to get on I have to redo the steps all over again. Also when I do get it loaded and running I have no cursor and that's making it hard to navigate and know what I'm trying to do. Thanks in advance for any help!

I just downloaded Icon and as soon as I saw that familiar blue 'loading...' bar appear on my screen I actually teared up. Thank you SO much for this.

I posted once before that I was unable to log onto the character creator via the icon program here lately.

Before it gave me the "blue screen of death" once I clicked it and the loading bar came up.

And now when I click it the loading bar pops up and stays up for a bit then screen goes black and monitor goes to sleep.

Any ideas?

And also I am running windows xp the computer is round about 4years old (I think)

I have only just learned about the Icon software and I have to say I'm very excited to potentially have access to my favorite character again. Sadly, I had been offline for a while and don't have the most recent edition of CoH on my machine. Will the software eventually incorporate older issues? Or is there some way to update my CoH files?

Like many people, CoH was a huge part of my life. Any help anyone can give me will be most welcome.

Thanks!

Issue 24 (beta server) files. You'll need a torrent program or SugarSync.

I modified the first post to include a link and explanation under the Requirements section.

Late to the party but this is amazing.

Thanks for putting it out here for folks and troubleshooting it also.

I was surprised (for some reason) that it loaded my saved costumes... surprised and very pleased.



The downside is I'm now even more homesick but no regrets!

Glad to know tha Icon is running.  But I cannot get it to work.  When I get to the Origin screen, I am unable to click on anything without the window disappearing.  What can I do to fix this?

Please elaborate.

Operating system? Other programs, if any, running at the same time?

Does the game quit out or does it just disappear?

Nice. Thank you for this. It feels like my toons are caught in the Phantom Zone. They exist, just not where I want them to. Nice to see my main there again and fully animated. Activating the powers is nostalgiac to say the least.

Use windowed mode, then extend the window to fill your entire screen, maybe?

In windows:

Activate windowed mode > click square at top of window > done

I am running Windows 7.   I tries running Icon after turning off all other programs.  The game just quits.

Also, I was slightly terrified by....this...thing...

I was also greatly saddened by this; yet another interesting plot wrinkle that would never see the light of day.

I am unsure.

Codewalker would be the best person to ask regarding this issue.

I suggest you send him a Private Message here on the Titan Network.

Really not enough information there to divine a cause. Did the game work before?

If you re-downloaded it, it's possible you may have gotten a corrupt file somewhere.

Past that, I'd ask if there's anything in the application log about a program crash, or if you can run cityofheroes.exe -project coh -console and if it makes it to the login screen.

We don't know what version of the client they're running either.

TinToySoldier, are you using the last updated, regular version of the game? Or Issue 24 beta server?

Icon only works with last updated regular version, or Issue 24 beta, I believe.

All right, I am feeling particularly brain dead tonight.  I'm not sure I understand "activate window mode"  sorry.

[Aggelakis]

ALT+Enter switches between fullscreen and windowed mode.

You can also exit out to the login screen, and change your game settings there, resolution to "Window/Windowed".

Wowie, Zowie, it worked!  Thanks...
