Downloading CoH


CatMan

 

Posted

Just got my long-awaited new computer, and I remember there being a way to download the game that still works. Anyone have the link?

Thanks. May finally be able to see the game how it was meant, rather than on a netbook

If the launcher fails to allow you to install CoH, PM me. I have a copy of the COH_Installer I keep on my FTP site.

It seems to be working, over 50%.

Yep, the same as always (I just double checked myself on a fresh virtual machine that's never had CoH/the launcher installed and did it fine). There was a thread a week or so ago about the Launcher no longer being able to update CoH, but that was actually just because the machine they tested it on was so far out of date that it couldn't do a fast-update, and the install had to be 'repaired' (at which point it worked fine).

All of my latest videos show the game with everything cranked except depth of field because I can't stand that feature. It's running on a PC I just built a few weeks ago. Here are the specs:

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core
Cooler Master HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC256B/WW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1000DHTZ 1TB 10000 RPM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W
EVGA Superclocked, Signature 2 02G-P4-2687-KR GeForce GTX 680 2GB
Logitech G9x Laser Mouse
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
LITE-ON H/H Internal BD Writer
Cyborg V.7 Keyboard

This should give you an indication of how it was meant to be played, OP.

Couldn't you just copy the game folder from the old computer to the new? Then you should just need to run a verify when you run it the first time. I think? At least that used to work.

Yes, but there's an extra step in there somewhere.

I think you can just copy the entire folder, then edit the registry, and be good to go.
*OR*
You start the download, cancel it, copy your files into the already-created directory, then you're good to go.

I think there's a couple of guides in the tech section.
