For the line where it lists the link to the program, encapsulate the whole thing in quotes and add -test to the end. It should look like this if you've installed it to your default location:
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CoHUpdater.exe" -test Hit OK to accept the changes, then double click the shortcut. It will ask if you want to install the CoH test client, and let you pick where you want to install it to (default is "C:\Program Files\CoHTest\"). Let it begin the install, but when it begins to download things, immediately cancel out. Navigate to your City of Heroes install directory (default "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\") and hit Ctrl+A to select everything. Copy everything in the directory. Navigate to your CoHTest install directory, and paste the contents of your CoH directory there. Go back to your CoH Test Server shortcut and run it again. It will do a repair (takes no more than a few minutes) and then only download the updates beyond what is available on the live servers. This will save you several hours and a lot of bandwidth.  (Just to make it extra-easy to differentiate between the two shortcuts at a glance, I also changed my CoH Test Server shortcut to have the City of Villains logo as an icon.  ) |
i think i got it but it says 63 hours.... grr. lol. that sound right?
Do you have dial-up, or a really old computer? It only took me a few minutes to update with a broadband connection. 
5 meg cable. maybe i dided something wrong lol. pc isnt but like a year old.
Ya I think you did something wrong. Make sure you copy all of the files in your CoH directory to your CoH Test directory. After that run the Updater and it will just download the latest Beta patch.
*Edit* Oh, I forgot people are having issues connecting and updating atm, that could be your problem. I think they're applying a new patch to the servers today, or they're just having some technical difficulties.
kk tyvm. ill keep trying. im noooo good at this stuph lol
Np, gl. 
It says to download a 2nd copy of the game but when reading how to access training room it talks about going into the folders. Do i need to redownload another game or mess with folders?
