    error: could not rename cohupdater.exe to cohupdater.prv

    I noticed I had a cohupdater.new but no cohupdater, just cohupdater.EU.exe... sooo, I renamed the cohupdater.NEW to cohupdater.exe and its worked.

    hope this helps (I see someone else already posted somehting very similar)
    It's a temporary fix, keep your cohupdater.exe backed up somewhere as the file WILL be corrupted again sooner or later.. Do trust me..
  2. There is no fix if you ask me.. The updater does whatever it wants.. Today i got the same ridiculous .prv error, but there was NO .prv file to delete.. Followed the process again and again, but nothing happened..

    I usually don't try to be rude or anything, but let's face it :
    Instead of posting a POSSIBLE fix, wouldn't it be nicer for you my dear NcSoft to revert to the old updater until the new one is bug-free? Why do i have to literally spend my precious free time trying to FIX YOUR DAMN ERROR!? In case you didn't notice, many people are working and want to BLOW OFF SOME STEAM with a game INSTEAD of wasting hours of their lives trying to make something work OVER AND OVER again!

    Yes, i was able to run the game once with your possible fix, then i tried to re-play with no success in bypassing the damn updater..

    So a question if i may : You said that in order to handle the game at it's new state you needed to make this faulty updater.. Are you going to FIX the damn thing in the NEAR FUTURE, or we'll have to PREY to whatever Gods we pray to in order to play this game!?
  3. Yes, i followed the steps, made all the arrangements, the game ran smoothly until i've made the mistake to close it and restart my system..

    Since that? Same issue.. I've followed the entire process over and over again, and the game just fails to load..

    What's next, i wonder? Not being able to play until the new issue, or saying a prayer that the fix will "work" with my PC every time i start my computer?

    I know that not everyone has this issue, but a fix is in order don't you agree?

    I've been getting exactly the same number of tells as before I14 for normal teams.

    Then you must be quite lucky, as all i get the last weeks is tells like "Wanna farm?" or "Farm?" from people who doesn't even bother to read a search comment.. There are some exceptions now and then, but they are becoming extremely rare to find, especially if you have a 44+ char active..

    So... who's remaking their favourite CoX toons on CO later?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    For me, CO is a game which i plan to avoid.. I've seen pictures, i've seen videos, i've seen features, and frankly, just a character editor won't make me play a game..

    Plus, the cell shading is a feature i really dislike, and even turning it off, the game looks stupid to my eyes..

    As for my favorite chars? They will remain in CoX, until the game dies, or i cancel my subscription..

    Frankly, after what i've seen for i15, i'm giving it some thought, and believe me, until yesterday a cancellation for me was out of the question..

    This may sound cruel, but i'd rather see a dramatic improvement in the game (graphically AND in features) for i15, than some "tweaks" for Mission Architect.. The architect is nice, BUT.....

    Some FREE games look a lot better to the eye (and ear) for crying out loud! Don't you think it's time for an improvement in CoX as well?
  6. Greetings..
    Recently i've bought myself a new PC in order to enjoy CoX with it's full graphical settings, and i've decided to install Vista Ultimate 32-bit (Mistake? Wish i knew)..

    My PC has 4 GB of ram, a GeForce 9800 GX2, an Intel i7 Quad Core processor, and the latest drivers which i installed yesterday.. Plus, i've even installed a hotfix suggested in a similar thread, but nothing seems to be fixing my problem..

    It seems that whenever something "happens" in the background or made the mistake to either alt+tab in order to check something or accidently press a window key, the game starts to stutter heavilly, and there is nothing that fixes this issue, unless i close the game completely and re-run it..

    Any ideas??
    Thank you for your time!

    Miss you muchly!
  8. Servers are probably rebooting right now, try not to rush them..
  9. I really don't know.. For a moment i thought i was the only one with a problem, but apparently i'm not.. Something weird must have happened to the servers..
  10. I was unable to join you after all for the Citadel one, we had some power failures in my area and i couldn't access the internet.. I hope you all had some fun..
  11. I've also lost track of Chin.. He's inactive for quite some time now.. I hope however that he'll read our posts and show a sign of life

  13. Alrighty then, i was planning to organize a Citadel TF myself on Saturday, but seeing this will relieve me from the trouble..

    I'm in for both Task Forces with Cursed Flame (Blaster) if you need me..

    Soz I haven't been around much or even posted, but i've been completely bogged down with work as well as having the flu, i'll try to get on Sunday (provided I don't have to go crimbo shopping) and if you could post what lvls you are roughly, i'll try an make up the ground.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Strangely i have the same problem these days, working and being sick with a big fever, and my gaming hours have been reduced dramatically.. I hope you'll feel better soon, so we can continue our sessions..

    As i said earlier i'm not sure if i can make it on Sunday this time cause we may have a meeting in order to discuss this project we're working on these days..

    I'll keep you informed on Saturday night..

    P.S.
    Lallia : 36
  16. Not sure if this Sunday i'll be able to join, i'll keep you informed..
  17. Unfortunately, i'm extremely busy this week, so i'm not quite sure when i'll be available besides tonight (Tuesday)..

    If the meeting is cancelled for tonight, feel free to page me anytime when you see me online, or use this thread for future arrangements or if i can't make it, to fill me in (or anyone who is unable to participate in the meeting) about what has been decided..

    Hope to see you this afternoon..
  18. So, where is everybody??

    Edit: Only me and Saxtus online so far...

    Flood warnings all cleared, house in a game-able state - did I miss anything?

    Nope, nothing happened..
  20. Jurassik.. That thing kept regenerating the last time i've faced it, and took us about 1 hour to get rid of it.. Did we do something wrong?
  21. That's good news indeed, i'll see you when you finish
    As for the job thing, hang in there..

    I am offering to bring and exemplar my tanker next Sunday at 14:00 GMT if Chin isn't there.
    It's up to you to decide.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sounds good to me, your tank knows how to "Tank", so i'm fine with the idea..

    As for Chin, i hope you'll reconsider and stay..
  23. I'm easy, so i'm okay with it, just tell me the time and i'll be there..
  24. I hope that our upcoming meeting will be on Sunday, cause i'm extremely busy on Saturday..
