City of Heroes

What works

• Patching installation files and verifying all files
• Character creation
• Character selection screen (and delete)
  
• Setting hotkeys (by menu or file) and (most) options
• Keyboard and button macros
• Loading macros from files
• Running, flight, teleportation
  
• Interacting with characters and objects
• Interacting with contacts
• PvE combat
• Changing zone, including instances
• Log out due to inactivity
• Antialiased graphics with NVIDIA driver settings utility
• Game generated screenshots
• Interacting with the market
  
• Interacting with stores
• Managing Enhancements
• Full screen and windowed mode.
• Power respecification
• All game windows except costume change
  

What does not

• Web links in the updater news area--the images show but the links don't work.
• Turning off 3d sound crashed CoH immediately with "fixme:dbghelp:SymInitializeW what to do ??". I had to disable the option manually in the registry. Turning the option on works fine, but I can't tell if the function works.
  
• Setting the full screen anti-aliasing options in the game causes the screen to go white.
• The chat window loses the first character entered, and stays active after you hit enter until you hit Esc or click off it.
• Running the game with -renderthread 1 caused the game to hang at the loading screen. When I restarted the game, all graphic settings (registry data) had reset to default.
  
• Using the costume change window crashed CoH with the error "pbuffer creation error: Couldn't query pixel formats" and "fixme:dbghelp:SymInitializeW what to do ??".

"There seems to be an issue currently with the ingame resolution options. If you change them, then click apply, it will reset the resolution back to before you changed it and tell you to restart. When you restart, the resolution won't have changed. To get it to change you have to set it to the correct resolution, apply, set it again, and then quit the game with the options menu still open."
