While this can be an option (and one of the few apps I'd trust the dev on to do this with), the overall recommendation for installing the game is to avoid things that the new OSes like to protect by installing it to say C:\Games\CoH. This seems to work best for most people and leave the remainder of the issues down to AV troubleshooting, etc.

Well, more so to @Manga and those that have helped root out the pathing for it, but it's good to see it's helping. ^.^

He did and that was around the time that "Windows as a Service" started to get passed around. The idea was that instead of versions or even Service Packs (the bane of past editions), Win10 would simply continually be updated in smaller chunks as to have a limited impact on devices as it was progressively upgraded. And then whispers of Windows 11/12 started running around which caused lots of confusion because "but Bill said?!?!". So yeah, he said that But...

We'd need a bit more info as there could be a few things going on. What kind of Mac are you on? Do you have any security apps installed/running? Do you have a screen shot of any errors/messages? (Don't forget to edit out personal info)

How has @Bill Z Bubba not commented on this yet?

Before even reading the above, I was going to say "keep asking questions, but try not to ask the same thing repeatedly if you're looking to avoid irritating people", but the comment about searching (ok, sometimes "I" forget too) is highly applicable as well. As for the "I'm leaving because people are complaining", that's on you and while I've not a clue as to any of the related discussions, this 'feels' a bit less cool headed than I try to encourage people to be. People can be jerks, people can be mean (report that crap), and sometimes you just gotta let them talk out the hole they've chosen.

Very easy / common thing and just as easy to fix as you found.

Heh, I'm running it on Ivy Bridge both on hardware and in VM with a GTX 970 FTW on the hardware version. :p As for the TPM, I doubt most people who Do have it on custom builds ever remembered/considered turning it on.

I'd check with PK to see if the binds you've found need modified for the new launcher as it has a different structure to that of Live and Tequila.

It doesn't support mine by a long shot, but yet I'm running it. 😛

Update, tried with my i7 3770k based Win11 hacked install and works as expected. This install involved a forced upgrade on top of Win10, so all of my apps (including security) remained intact. I even tested my GoG, Steam, etc and they're all working fine. The CPU does get a bit loaded down compared to Win7/10 for some reason on this which is completely different from what I see in VM, which is completely smooth overall.

Well crap. That's probably a $5 part and an hour to install. :/

What's broke? Anything we can work to fix faster?

I came back to say that the M1 'fix' is extremely temporary as it hangs yet again in today's test and I've done the above 3(?) times now.

I never had issues installing/running the game in the early Beta. Granted, I didn't Play the game for real, just got to atlas and moved around. I'll have to try again to see how it runs, but for now I can only run in VM. Update: I just loaded up the VM with Win11's latest beta. I installed the game directly from the site. I loaded it up just as I do on any other platform and played around in atlas. Give or take graphics being gimped in a VM, everything else works. Again, experience in VM may not be same as on hardware and it'll be much later before I can test on my i7.

Stuck again. This time after the first force quit, it presents a wine message about updating the private folder. I force quit everything again and am going to try that fix again. Weird, redid the fix and it works again. My characters are out of order, but I may not have the sorted file on this machine, so I'm not actually calling that a side effect.

Yeah, it was bumpy at first, but at this point, I think we're good on the M1 overall. As for Other apps, give or take Rosetta2's temperament, much of what I've used so far works ok.

Keep in mind that the above assumes that they Have this global and this isn't simply their Live global (which not everyone managed to reserve like I have). +1 for contacting a GM, but as an aside...whomever has control of that person's main computer (with the right understanding) likely has the tools needed to take over any of that person's accounts, for any site, etc. I've had to do this twice now for a parent because they got really sick when Covid started (not covid then) and recently covid took them. So my IT knowledge assisted me with doing this as we had lots of legal things to take care of and being able to access their various accounts was necessary. I imagine a similar effort has already taken place for your friend, so it wouldn't be a leap to say that would help in the Ask of the posting in the event that something like Privacy, etc prevent the current Devs from assisting. Note: For obvious reasons, I'm NOT going to volunteer how to do any of the above.

We've got til late 2025, so there's plenty of time, game wise.

Heh, my main is still on 7, I wiped my 10 to test the hacked 11 on this system (same hardware) and it's not exactly happy on my rig. Hence my other thread about build wishlist. I've tested it somewhat in VM/Parallels/SameGenAsPC and it's really snappy when it's happy. I've not done any true game testing on it though. CoX does install just fine and I get into atlas, fly around, etc ok.

Programming errors 101 :p

Oh yeah, I didn't think about the non-native apps.

Confirming the last line of the log file: I did the file deletion/replacement as listed above and also ran into this: As someone else mentioned above, clicking "Cancel" will allow the launcher to load and you don't get it a second time. I have not tried rebooting the Mac to see if that changes anything, but I doubt it will. Edit: Just reiterating that I'm running Big Sur 11.6 on the M1 Mac Mini

I'm gonna test this out tonight on the iMini / M1 as I know it was doing this.

A couple of things that come to mind: Backup the Mac before doing the upgrade Keep in mind that after a point in Mojave's life, Everything going forward is 64bit only, so check your app compatibility (CoX has no issue). Why does your everyday account not have admin? Shared device, multi-user...? You'll probably want that, but if the admin account is locked out somehow, then you'll want to fix that before you upgrade Did I mention backup the computer?
