I'm assuming from you saying that you've tried from your "account page" that you're referring to your NCSoft Master Account. Perhaps try downloading it via the main CoH page here: http://www.cityofheroes.com/account/...of_heroes.html

I'm pretty sure the source is the same, but its worth a try.

You should be able to download the file first to your desktop. Then run it.

To download the game client, you will need to follow the instructions below.

1.Log into NCsoft Account Management.
2.Click the Game Accounts link.
3.Click the game account for the game you wish to download.
4.Click the Download Game Client link in the Actions section

This will be a little file, around a few MB that downloads/updates the rest of the game. The rest of the game will be 3-4 GB and take a fair while to download. Might be quicker to use a friends CD rom and copy the CDs file onto a USB drive.

If you still have trouble, please post with a bit more info... are you using windows/xp/vista/7, MAC OS, etc etc

What error message do you get?


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

I'm afraid my first thought was, if your new laptop doesn't have a CD drive, chances are it's not gonna be up to running CoX anyway. Hopefully for your sake I'm off the mark about that...

Ooo...for some reason the no optical drive thing went in one eye and out the other in my case. If this laptop is by chance not a full blown laptop and instead a netbook or so, there's a fair chance it won't be playable, or if it runs it will run only on the lowest possible settings. My roommates netbook can't get past the login screen, but a friend of mine manages to play on his, if barely, heh.

You can just get it off the official City of Heroes FTP.

US Updater
EU Updater

Run the one matching your region and it'll prompt you on where you want to install the game, and download it all from the servers. If you have CoH installed anywhere else on another PC, you can also just copy it over manually using a USB drive or similar.
