Stage downloads?


Firestream

I just reinstalled CoH last night and went to play. I played the tutorial and it won't let me exit until Stage 3 has completed downloading? I see an icon that says 3 with 0%. Is there a way to initiate the download or is it set to download on a certain date? Also, I can't switch to any of my preexisting characters because it requests the completed download of stage 4?

Thank you ^_^

CoH uses a new staged download system for new players to get in the game faster. The updater installs the game in stages:

Stage 1: Login and Character creation screen

Stage 2: Tutorial

Stage 3: Atlas Park and Mercy Island

Stage 4: Everything else

Just leave the updater running and it'll finish.


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Try quitting the game. Start the NCSoft launcher, and click on the arrow by city of heroes. Choose either "download" or "repair". This should get it to download faster vs letting it download in the background while playing in the costume creator

You should be able to get into the Live version of the game, but not into the Beta version unless you're paying the monthly sub.

Right, but you are *playing* the game, right? Or making progress with the downloader? You can run the tutorial and go to Atlas Park at least?

1. Stop the program/downloader

2. Start the NC Soft launcher, choose City of heroes and let it download.
