re: City of Heroes Updater

I just purchased CoH/CoV Good vs. Evil edition for the first time. After installing it, registering it on-line, and activating my account, I tried entering the game with the City of Heroes Updater pulling up, requiring what looks like 900 MB of updates to be integrated first before playing.

It's been hours and it's still downloading with the screen currently reading "Fixing files: piggs/mapsMissions.pigg".

Is this supposed to happen? What am I doing wrong?

Yes, you have to download the game, which is approximately 2.8 gigs in size with a download-only install.

If you installed from the physical media included with the Good Vs Evil edition, you'd still need the last several issues worth of updates to be downloaded first. Currently the most recent physical media is the Architect Edition box, which is already an issue behind.


Edit: And "Fixing" in this context means it's downloading/patching that file, nothing to be worried about.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
