I think we're at the end of the run. I've got an "index error" to match the above. I still have to check the iMini now as well, but I think that give or take a few, that's it. There was an error in the application.

Dude! We're at less than 200 already?!

That's a lot of Good documentation, but I'll be damned if that doesn't look like you somehow connected to one of the Other servers. You know how you could use Tequila (I'm assuming) with a different manifest and it would load that server instead of say HC. But How that could possibly happen with the Launcher I have no clue since you can't (I believe) modify the manifest. Do you have anything else installed CoH wise? Do you have anything like an AV software that 'somehow' could have messed with the connection at all (causing crash)?

Ok, so I caught the iMini VMs having done an unexpected restart (danger of betas), so hopefully those finished whatever they were doing, but I doubt it. So that's 4 back up and running. The i7 gave this error (below) and We're showing 355 remaining @ 97.8% complete. So that sounds like we're done with this round after everybody's chewed on 5 more each, give or take the ones in the failed/redo list. There was an error in the application.

I've noticed that they'll do that for up to a couple days, but then somehow clear themselves. But yeah, I never know if it's Truly locked up or not and takes ages to get Those to end manually as you have to hope you catch it in between batches (when the buttons become usable). The worst thing that would happen is there'll be a few at the end that need to be thrown back in the bunch.

I believe that was related to the new Launcher.

Yeah, I noticed it went pretty quick compared to before...was suspicious.

I'm about ready to swap the current batches to 2.2, so we'll see what the numbers are for sure in a minute. You Can tell when something fails on that end and never gets uploaded right? Heh, Just over 5600 right now @ the upper end of 69...% :p

Yeah, the number went up a tad, but was rather excited to see the "98.24%". :p

Well sheet...good thing those had failed I suppose. My Parallels 17 trial expired (because I'm rethinking that software based on their pricing tactics) and when I tried to reinstall v16, it loaded, complained about needing to reduce the cores/ram I had configured, and quit, but it did something else to the vHDD because the VM got corrupted. Luckily, I'd made clones of the core VMs I had before the upgrade, so I'm restoring them. Unfortunately, this means two VMs with 2 instances each, so the iMini gets taxed a little more. IDK which four files were affected by this, but I wanted to point it out. Ugh, I to go so far as to manually remove all the Parallels support files because even a new app install claimed the VMs were damaged. I'm still using my backup copies, but way easier than recreating the VMs from scratch.

You broke the iMini's cluster. Will have to start back up later tonite. 😛

Well Altitis is a (non-billable) thing so... :p

I have at least 4 pages on one server for sure, but that's because some pages have empty spaces due to being grouped by page on that server. As for Your list: Make a Copy of the PlayerSlot file In the original, Delete all of the Reunion (EU) entries Of the remaining, Make sure no to alts have the same number next to their name on any server in the file as well Save the file Rearrange as needed See if that doesn't sort things out for you.

Hey, at least you said something...

This has so much accuracy in it that it hurts because you Know that Someone is out there to prove a point or just That bored.

Let's see if I can detangle it for you. So the contents of an Island Rum install are in Applications\coh by default, meaning that if you opened a Finder window and clicked on your Applications folder, then inside that is a folder called coh. I'd have to look up the file structure beyond that, but the difference between that and the new launcher is that within That folder, there is a folder called Launcher that serves as the root of the new file structure for that launcher. So when you're copying things from Island Rum (costumes, etc), then you have to keep this in mind when doing your drag/drop. So for example, if you're copying your Costumes from Island Rum to the HC Launcher, then this would be dragging the Costumes folder into the folder Applications\coh\Launcher and dropping it there. This makes your costumes now located in Applications\coh\Launcher\Costumes. It's certainly confusing to those who have no clue about how files are stored (IE: the average person), but once you have both Finder windows open and look at the structure I've written above, then it Should be as simple as just making sure to drop your source folder into the right path. EDIT: I'm cross-eyed from work, so I think I misread something after typing that. What is the current path to your original Island Rum backup you made above in which you see the TXT files (chat.txt, options.txt, etc)? Is it now Applications\coh\LauncherOld?

So it looks like we're at 949 and 92.37%, but only 21 active instances (looks like my PC was idle after a point today), so we either slowed down a little or the purge knocked out some misreporting. I'll spin-up the four in a bit, but here are the errors that were triggered. The iMini 'appears' to have not been affected, but I never feel certain that the VMs aren't locked up (fewer resources).

1123 left to go and a hair under 90% completed.

Give or take any individual processing of files like what @The Philotic Knight had to do at the end last time. I noticed this time we've been listed at a solid 150 instances for a bit. I am kinda curious as to the electrical impact though. My UPS reports around 250-300W (powering the PC + the iMini, TV, etc) of constant use, but IDK how to translate that.

That sounds like it would involve a bit of internal tooling to allow for player preferences that have to interact with the login, server, and character database servers.

Mind you, I only 'know' what I read about the other servers as I've never felt the need to investigate them, but from what I 'know', HC is the only group that has taken their approach to the preservation of the game and looked at if from just about every angle. While, admittedly, they likely should never legally been able to obtain 'the code', neither should the other servers for that matter. What they've done with it since I think is where they differ. More specifically, the fact that they actively sought out the parent company and said "Hey, we got this thing of yours and even though you really don't seem to want to deal with it, would you consider working with us to keep it alive and the fans happy in a way that is actually legal?". NDAs and many other cultural things are likely in place (I'm obviously not an insider), so it's frustrating when we don't hear things. BUT...what this means is that HC 'should' be in the best position to do the dance that keeps them alive where others may put themselves in a crosshair. Hence the occasional "hey, could you guys stop doing X for a while until we get the approval?" or "Ok, so you can do X, but make sure not to do F". All that aside, it's true, there's Always the chance that all the servers may get taken down at some point, but I suspect that even if HC was one of them, that we'd know ahead of time and would have the chance to say our goodbyes. As for the code, beyond privacy concerns, I doubt it'll become public domain due to things like copyright.

Next from the i7. I caught the Win11 VM having restarted itself on the iMini (likely updates) again, so I'm sure in the end you'll have a few left over to rerun. Oh and we're at just over 3k remaining and just shy of 75% complete. There was an error in the application.
