@Boltcutter in game.
The updater, when completed updating, gives you a button in the lower corner to start the game. Did that not work?

Its a rare-ish bug. It is also solvable by renaming the CoH Updater in the folder (oldcohupdater.exe or something like that) and running it (you might need to delete the checksum file as well). I've been here 5.5 years and had to do it once. First time I remember hearing it happen to someone during install.

Thanks, Edit: It was trying to download the whole game again into the folder C:Program files/city of heroes/city of heroes, now that i've sorted that out it says "Error reading COHupdater.exe, you may be out of disk space or not have permissions or whatever" My laptop is brand new, has 4gb of RAM and 290gb free hdd space. Again, help help would be appreciated Edit: I worked it out for myself, needed to move the original updater I downloaded to initially download the client into the main city of heroes folder, this bug really shouldn't happen with a Pay to Play game. The original updater should be copied or moved to the selected installation folder automatically and until that can be done a sufficient guide should be provided for the faulty game installation. |
