Damn it, I almost managed to last a full 10 seconds before hitting buy now and applying the pack...I don't even own a Mac!

I blame FFM for this blatant abuse of my lack of willpower!

Next is to see if I can shoehorn it into working on Windows7...

Win 7 will (should) work with anything that did on Vista. This isn't some wibbly wobbly backwards compatibility like running XP programs on Vista, as Vista and 7 present a nearly identical environment to programs. Same security, same APIs, same everything. If you were a program, you wouldn't be able to tell which OS you were on without asking it nicely. 'Should' is in parenthesis because it's a beta, and because it's Windows.

One question from me. I know that I can buy the mac edition and apply it to my account, then get the goodies and the game time. I pay by credit card right now, monthly. Would I need to suspend that in order to take advantage of the time given by the Mac code? Or would it somehow say "ahh, I have some extra time, I don't need to dip my hands into his bank balance" and save me some hassle?

What Zortel said plus it seems it adds a month to your vet time as well or at least after applying the code my vet time went up by a month and i cant see how it could have been anything other than the code

Works to my advantage atleast, now I can get that 42 month respec that I've always wanted!

Oh and a shiny new badge too!

What I hadn't appreciated about the Mission Teleport power was that it was a cross-zone teleport. I just teleported from the steps of the city hall in Atlas Park to the depths of the Portal Corp building.

For some reason I thought it was only going to have a zone-wide range!

Now that definately makes it worthwhile. Have to look seriously into this!

HELP!!!!!

I liked the idea of getting all those goodies right away (PC user) rather than having to wait, so I purchased the Mac Edition.

Now, when I try and launch the game I get an error message stating:

"Error opening C:Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.EU.tmp

You may be out of disk space or you may be trying to install to a location where you have insufficient permissions."

Can someone please confirm if this is a result of applying the Mac edition to my PC account and if so, how the heck to I fix it so I can play?

The game client couldn't care less what account you have.

CohUpdater.EU.tmp is very wrong. Browse to the directory manually and look for an EXE with that name.

I got that error message before I had purchased the mac edition. I was attempting to run it using a shortcut key on my keyboard and found that locating the .exe in my city of heroes folder worked.

Take a look in the Technical forum - GR has advice on how to get round that problem.

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Just to further add, after looking up on the Wiki, the Valkyrie costume set also comes with it's own sword...as if Broadsword didn't have enough options already for me to choose from...curse you!

Badge Earned: Wing Clipper

A real showstopper!

If you want to avoid clipping you can choose the valkyrie smooth gloves. They come without the 'bulge' and still look pretty cool.
