I just bought the game off steam but for some reason the updater isnt working correctly. All it does is say "Downloading manifest file" then all of a sudden the program will quit. Is there a way i can download ans install the patch directly without using the updater?

Definatly odd.

Two things to try.

One, delete any files with "checksum" in the name/extension in the main City of Heroes folder.

Two, if one doesn't work, delete the updater program (or if paranoid, rename it to something like "oldupdater.exe") and re-download the updater via plaync's site.

That's all I got at this point of the night, for me.

OP: Ignore the characters on the account it seems you purchased and create your own, you'll find it's much more rewarding (and less aggravating to other players) if you learn on your own rather than jumping into high level content your first day.

Few things are more maddening (as in it drives me nuts) than running a difficult task force only to find out a key member of the team (like, the tank for example) has only been playing a few days and doesn't know what all their powers do. On a task force like Positron or Synapse I'm more forgiving, because they are the two lowest level ones you can run, perfectly reasonable for a new player to be running them. But when it's a Statesman's Task Force or a Kahn Task Force it's annoying having to explain things to someone who is on a level 50 character.

Not trying to give you crap, and I don't care if you bought an account. Just saying, avoid the temptation to jump in on a level 50 right away and learn the ropes first. You'll probably thank me later. (then again you might not)

Either way, welcome to the game. I hope your stay is a long and enjoyable one.
