cant download CoH


The_Spad_EU

 

Posted

so i bought the game today and i downloaded the EU updater and i cant seem to download anything.
it just says "connecting...#5"

the "#5" part goes up all the time, so im guessing its the number of attempts he tried to connect to the server.

ive shut down my anti virus and firewall (just in case it was blocking it) but yet, no luck there.

can anyone help me?

i havent tried the nc soft launcher, when i go to the ip link all i get is a white page with "phlogiston error" whatever that means.

but the good news is i got the download starting, apparently i downloaded the launcher twice, which automatically changed the launcher's name to "cohupdater.eu(1)"...
the only problem now is that the download is really slow, 4.2 kb/sec

what port does the launcher use?

80? thats weird, that is the port Windows uses. oh well, the other port is closed so i guess i need to open it.

Well 80 is just HTTP; it's what the launcher uses to check if there are any patches available and get the latest news/info to display. Then the actual downloads take place over 6994, but I seem to remember that they have a sequence of different ports that they try if one doesn't work.
