I finally broke down and ordered a new computer. I remember seeing the answer to this question a long time ago, but couldn't find it again tonight.

Which files do I need to copy over from my old computer to my new one in order to get CoH up and running again?

Please try my arcs:

Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)

You'll want the piggs directory. Everything else is relatively small.
If you want to save any missions, costumes, etc, you're probably just better off grabbing the whole directory.

  1. Install the NCSoft launcher.
  2. Install CoH.
  3. Once the download begins, stop and exit the launcher
  4. Copy the original CoH directory into place over the top of the newly installed one.
  5. Remove any .checksum files.
  6. Restart the launcher and allow it to do updates and file verification.
  7. Once that's done you should be able to log into CoH, reset your video settings, and party on.
