Hello..
After 3 years of playing, I still get the same errors and it is bugging me really much. Characters of mine keep getting trapped in big maps, such as Millennium City, because I can not boot up the map. When it loads, I get a crash somewhere halfway through the loading.. Or the game allows me five minutes to quickly move my character elsewhere.
I'm pretty much at the point of all being completely trapped inside Club Caprice, if I go outside, crashes WILL happen.
The errors I get, are always concerning some piggs file that isn't working correctly, however, the name of the piggs file changes every time. These errors keep coming up, as if they keep corrupting themselves as I load the game.
Please help me with this, I haven't been able to be in Rennaissance Center for years now.
I've tried:
*Force Verify in the launcher
*Verify integrity of game files in Steam
*Reinstalling the game
*Removing the files inside the \Steam\SteamApps\Common\champions online\Champions Online\Live\piggs folder and letting them redownload through verifying in the CO launcher
*Launching the game through DirectX9
*Updating drivers
*Running as Administrator
*Replacing my GPU with a new one
*Replacing my RAM with new ones
*Disabling On-Demand Patching
*Launching in Safe Mode
*Lowering settings to the lowest
*Enabling/disabling firewall
*Running in different compatibility modes.
My system:
AMD Athlon II X2 255 3.0GHz
NVidia GeForce GTX260
8GB DDR3-1333 RAM
RealTek Digital Audio

If you could reproduce the bug exactly the same way every time then maybe that'd point to a specific game problem, otherwise it sounds like a specific computer problem.
Just because you did something to fix/check something once doesn't mean something else didn't break later on.
Launching the game through Directx9? What?
Oh what is the path to your Champions Online, maybe it's too long for the decompression, maybe it has some odd character.
Try install to a straight path like "C:/Games/"
With booting through DX9, I meant in the game options.
Options > Video > Troubleshooting > Video Card
My game is installed through steam, so the folder for me would be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\champions online"
I really doubt it'll cap on the maximum allowed characters in the directory, since it can go on for way more characters than this.. Besides, aren't there like a few thousand players like myself who'd have it in Program Files\Steam\SteamApps? I don't see this many people experiencing these crashes.
Some people have problems running content in Program Files (x86)...Fallout 3 had issues in there.
Try a second install to an unprotected directory like C:/Games/
And/or close your browser and turn off your anti-virus while playing, could be that it is interfering with the decompression.
I've tried everything with anti-virus, firewalls and whatsoever, like I said in the "I've tried" list.
I've tried running as admin, so that would get rid of permission problems.
I will try checking my HDD for bad sectors and installing CO elsewhere. (Even though I really like Steam support in CO)
Did absolutely nothing for Fallout 3's problems, but moving it out of Program Files (x86) fixed crashes to desktop.
