The download does take a long time...and the pigg files take the longest. Is there any way you can let it run while you sleep? Sometime it looks like it's not moving, but in reality it is. Good luck, and if that doesn't work come back for more help. Good luck, and don't give up.
�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.� Here is a quick workaround. Since your friend has converted you I assume you can get a copy of the program from them. Have them copy all the files from their CoH directory (although they don't have to copy screenshots and logs I guess) and then you copy them to your CoH directory that has already been created by trying to install the program. Next move the cohupdater.exe file to your desktop and run it from there pointing it at the game directory if necessary. That should have you up and running in a couple minutes.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
I'm having this problem as well, I don't have a disk and just got a new computer and it's doing this to me as I try to d/l coh sigh
I also after 6 years of being fine had my updater fail and crash the game. Now I must re-install the game completely and since I have a 5 gb cap on my service i am going to have to head out to a local internet cafe and load it onto a USB drive with my laptop.
I had the pre-load work perfectly but this last patch broke the game for me. So instead of enjoying new stuff, I am stuck for hours downloading again. This game has been a mess since Issue 17 for me as I get random lag and lockups and now this pain in the butt.
Post how long it actually took to get the new installation and the average kbps please?
I'm new to these forums, so I think this is the place to go. I'm currently trying to get my trial version to work (One of my friends has successfully converted me to CoH!) However, the updater seems...stuck.
It says it's currently fixing the piggs/sound.piggs but nothing's downloading. It's just stopped. I'm not sure why, it was downloading fine a few moments ago and now it's just stuck. The 7-day trial is currently active, so I'm eager to get this problem resolved so I can use my trial, something to whet my appetite for later.
Does anyone know what I should do? If this is the incorrect board or if I missed an obvious solution, please forgive me, CoH is possibly my first subscription MMO, I'm use to more F2P games.
