NCSoft Launcher, CoH, and CoH Beta ...

OK, my copies of "City of Heroes" and "City of Heroes - Beta" seem to have somehow become entwined.

Basically, when I launch CoH, it updates to the CoH file. Which is fine, and as it should be. But CoH Beta *also* updates to the CoH file.

So when I go and launch CoH Beta, it thinks it has the CoH information, which is clearly wrong, so it updates to the CoH Beta information. This, in turn, causes the CoH file to be updated to CoH Beta.

So when I go and play CoH again ... guess what! It's now on the wrong file! So it has to be reverted back to CoH again.

Bottom line -- I can't run both CoH and CoH Beta at the same time.

Also, for some strange reason, my CoH client seems to be getting files from the Beta folder. For example, whenever I am in the custom creator, and I try to load a saved costume, it goes to the CoH Beta "costumes" folder and shows me the costumes that are there, instead of the costumes that are in the CoH "costumes" folder like it should. Ditto with when I go to the "Power Customization" screen and try to load a saved file.

The same applies for AE story arcs and critters. Looking them up in the "City of Heroes" client calls up the files in the "City of Heroes Beta" folder.

My CoH Beta folder is NOT in my CoH folder. They're two separate folders in the "Program Files" directory. I have no idea why the CoH client is referring the CoH Beta folders.

Any idea what I can do to un-entwine them so that I can play them both separately at the same time?

In the Launcher, check the properties of each game (right click on the game and select properties) and make sure they don't have the same "Install Location".

If they do, you should be able to click the "Browse" button of the incorrect one and point it to the right place.

That was the ticket. Thanks, Tex.
