This application has failed to start...

I had some trouble with downloading the latest patch. I stopped the pathcher, restarted it. It verified the files, "fixed" several and after about 30 minutes was ready to go again.

When I started up, CoH.exe gave me this error:

CityOfHeroes.exe - Unable to Locate Component. This application has failed to start because DfEngine.dll was not fund. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.


I notice that several files now seem to be missing from my CoHTest subdirectory. That's the main one right off the root. I don't know how to make a file list in text form Explorer so I'll post a screen shot instead. Please get a developer to look at it. At minimum, I think these files should be restored by the patcher, or not touched by it.

Yep, this little glitch is a doozy. It's affecting quite a few people (see one thread on it here ). There are some workarounds going around (including some in that thread), but they don't seem to be working for everyone.

Yeah, I just found that thread myself. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully we'll get an official work-around soon. In the meantime, I'm trying the piggs fix.



And while I'm waiting for the piggs to patch....


Devs nerfted our downloading power!!

Note to Devs: The piggs/ subdir also seemed about half empty. Hopefully the new piggs brought over from the regular CoH program file will fix this.

Oooookay. It fixed all the piggs files, then re-downloaded the manifest. Now it's fixing tempfile. Wth?

9 minuutes estimated total time, but the file size / total shows 0 in the second part, and the progress bar doesn't move, although the time part is counting down ok.

Weird stuff...

nm, it's 8 HOURS not 8 minutes. I'm stopping this turkey.

Any one got a fix for "fixing tempfile"?
