I too had this problem, despite great success in the past (must be an update)..

I used Mark's perl script without issue until late last night. Today when I try to log in, I get the following error message:

The file is already fully retrieved; nothing to do.

Update: Mark uploaded version 0.81 which fixes the problem I encountered last night.

my script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/.cxgames/CityofHeroes/drive_c/Program_Files/City_of_Heroes/
exec ./cohlaunch.pl -renderthread 0
# EOF #
this way it makes sure to change to the correct directory first before executing the perl launcher.
And it looks good.
Still testing everything out.
and it looks like i have ultramode enabled.
I guess I'm set.
Spectacular.
Thx for your help!
and the awesome script.

ALSO... *per the previous convo in this thread*
I'm running an nVidia 8800GTS, albeit older driver.
The graphics (when the game is running) look astonishing, even at full Ultra Mode. No rubber banding or chat cursor problems. *shrug.
excuse the poor quality screenshot... they were taken from my MacBookPro via VNC...

I can't say that I've had the same experiences as Storm...
I think Linux is pretty user friendly.
And I found the script pretty straightforward.
Wine, out of the box, lets you run .exe
Then creating launchers in linux is basically a fancy way of saying 'Command Line' or 'Run...' for you windows users out there.
When the instructions say install dependencies, I don't even have to add additional repositories to find them... most of the dependencies (e.g. wget (which is an accessory), PERL, XDelta, XML.Simple, etc) were on the Package Manager by default.... I'm running 10.04 LTS (Lucid)
As far as windows vs. mac vs. lin
I love how you can customize the Linux Interface... and Compiz effects are soooo much cooler than Win Aero or OSX Mission Control/Launchpad.
At any rate, I digress....
When I got home from work tonight, I see that my Terminal (that I launched last night and went to bed) had aborted the script because the downloaded CoH patch had failed MD5 CheckSum... I'm also questioning the install location of the script itself...
Right now, it's put in:
My launcher is set to:Code:/home/myusername/wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/City of Heroes/cohlaunch.pl
For some reason, after I launch the script----Code:perl '/home/myusername/wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/City of Heroes/cohlaunch.pl' -live -renderthread 0
It tries to connect to the CoH update server (OK)
Downloads the PatchListManifest.xml (OK)
but then it says...
Then it proceeds to download, from scratch, the entire game....Code:Unable to get current version of City of Heroes. Installing from scratch Patching from 0.0.0.0 to 2050.201107131807.1.0 using CityOfHeroes_Main_0.0.0.0To2050.201107131807.1.0
so once it starts, it sends the HTTP request (OK)
then says
And then it starts downloading from scratch again..... lol.Code:206 Partial Content Length: 4101540820 (3.8G), 3445549180 (3.2G) remaining [application/octet-stream] The sizes do not match (local 656289928) Retrieving.
2 hours remaining, but a steady 500kb/s.
I can understand the partial content size mismatch..
so I downloaded wget, maybe it will help with the resume feature (in the event of disconnection)
I don't understand where it's trying to install the updated version...
Thinking that I can relocate the *.pl file, maybe it will detect my previously installed game content?
*Please advise.

This is one of the few solutions out there that really worked for me...
I tried to compile the ULL launcher, but had no luck.
installing dotnet20 with winetricks and calling the NCLauncher.exe directly resulted in "Path not found"
Using the PERL script worked like a charm. CoH started downloading and patching immediately.
For extra measure, I created a launcher with a custom icon.
Thanks for sharing your solutions.

W/out a spoiler alert, all I can say is "I don't know..."
But the thought of two of you running around is kinda freaky if you ask me.

I would like to have Origin Pins
I love my archetype pins, but a set of origin pins will complete my regalia...
e.g... a Real-Life "Defender/Natural".. etc.
*** if they already have this, please let me know where I can put my CC# -

Depending on your hardware...
Looking up and down is right-mouse and rotating around your character is the wheel.
My MBP has a large touch-pad with no "button" perse, but in System Preferences, you can activate the right-click 'corner'... which makes the bottom-right corner of the touch-pad a surrogate right-click.
My suggestion would be to purchase a simple usb/bluetooth 3-button scroll-mouse. It makes the gaming experience.... *pleasurable*... -
I'm running a MBP 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

MacOSX 10.6.3
build 1800.x.x
I have experienced sound "Squelching" and echo problems but only if I persistently switch applications (e.g. looking at forums while playing)...
Issue is resolved after restarting the application.
