Just installed CoH Architect Ed and now it says fixing files 1.1g 15hours to complete!!!!

is there anyway around this I just installed it and it has to fix 1.1g of data?

That means it's downloaded the patch to the current version and is installing it.

No way around it if you want to play the game - unless you have someone you can copy the current files from.

I'm guessing you bought the architect edition box, installed off the dvd and are now running the updater? Well, that disk was released a year (+2 months) ago.

Our game has fairly significant free updates every 3-4 months, called "Issues", that add new content. The Architect was Issue 14; we're on Issue 17 now, and readying ourselves for Issue 18, due out in August (Along with a paid expansion, Going Rogue).

Your game is likely updating it's self to the current version (The accumulation of 3 major updates and a number of smaller patches). Welcome to the world of PC gaming, and particularly MMOs, where this kind of thing is completely normal.

Don't believe the time-left timer, anyway, especially what it says initially. It tends to work faster as you go along and generally takes a lot less time than the "estimate". If it takes more than an hour or so for it to "fix" 1.1 gigs, there's a good chance your machine can't handle this game anyway.


Dec out.

Yea i know about updates/patches i used to play many other various mmo but it was "fixing" and kept doing so and finnally after restarting the game about 30 times it did not try to fix it instead downloaded the patch. I was Live this morn, not now obviously due to the server down, But my Laptop can definately handle this lol its only like 2 weeks old and it has an i7 quad-core with a virtual drive that makes it run more like a octa-core among other nice specs it is a beast compared to the Gateway FX that i gave to my wife.


So it is working now and this thread may be locked or deleted.

Thank you.

How horrible. You refute my post without bad grammar, thus preventing me from poking fun at your post and ignoring your statement!
