Skip Patcher Window?

Posted

I had to reformat my machine, and I previously had this setup...but lost it.

I need to create the shortcut that skips the patcher window (eliminating hte need to verify files when we DC). Can anyone give me the shortcut target info again?

"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh

Additionally, if you prefer the CoV splasher/music, and have a couple other commands you like to use:
"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh -cov -visscale 4 -maxinactivefps 5

Since the switch "
-project coh" doesn't seem to work for the European client, could anybody tell me which project name to use for the European servers?

Thanks for any information on this,

Did you make sure to change the shortcut from CohUpdater.exe to CityOfHeroes.exe?

Fix'd? Or is the updater the only one that gets the eu designation?

Also, I believe the command would be -project eucoh

CityOfHeroes.exe is the same for NA and EU. Only the updater adds eu. The command is still "-project coh".

Yeah, I figured the updater might be the only one. Good to know. I had remembered seeing something about eucoh on another thread before, so I did a quick forum search for confirmation.. then again.. I'm only taking his word for it that it worked for him, since I don't have an EU account to test these things with. haha

Edit:
I did some more searching, and it seems like eucoh is still the advertised command on the foreign language boards.

On a side note, if you are using CityofVillains.exe, you might have to use -project cov (not coh) or else you risk a client crash.

Huh. *goes to update the wiki, which does not make a distinction between NA and EU use of the "-project" flag*

For documentation, it's -project eucoh that works. Unfortunately I still was too late for yesterday's task force, but at least now I know the right switch for the next time the updater fails to connect.

Thanks!

Bumping this thread, because most new people do not even know they can do this.

You might want to read the Forum rules, esp section 5.

I agree.. not to mention it isn't officially recommended or supported to do this. If people want to know if it's possible, they can ask.. but if the Devs wanted everybody to do it, they'd just program a second shortcut for us automatically during installation or sticky this thread... and if they made this thread a sticky just because it's a neat trick, I got a few dozen other things we could sticky and defeat the purpose of having a forum and an organized wiki in different places. lol
