This appears to be the right answer based on their own forums: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-pictures-musicapp/api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0dll-is-missing/b593b94e-6691-423b-a586-0b7f10131e35?auth=1

This has always been my understanding (as is with most games of the past). I think what you're seeing is mostly related to the limited styles within the game as well. So while layouts may have X number of variations, there are only Y number of thematic differences (different Baddy types). So the overall randomization only results in a pretty small number of variations. IRL, there's not a dramatic difference in office building design in large buildings and most of that is to keep costs down. So to those of us who often play more open/dynamic world based games, things like CoX will feel rather cookie cutter.

AFAIK the game generally ignores the contents of the data folder except for when the game launches, so that should only happen if say an AV flagged it as unsafe and quarantined it or something else along those lines.

I wish I'd taken a SS so I could point out the file, but for those installing the Win version, I had a false flag for a file during the initial IR install on my Win7 system. Keep an eye out on those as I'm sure that @Manga isn't in the habit of sharing malicious files.

I noticed there's a Windows version of IR. Is that what it looks like (vs Tequila) or something special for say BootCamp (which...wouldn't make sense to me)?

So I tried the Catalina install and I'm getting the same issue as above, even on a clean install using Either of the links. I guess I'll keep an eye on the related threads and do my testing in Mojave in the meantime. How are you installing it when in BC? Are you making sure to use a path like C:\Games\CoH ?

Tried both these sites in Catalina and they both "hang" as it were when trying to launch the game. Going to try redownloading the game files next. https://telstar.eekstudio.com/ https://islandrum.eekstudio.com/ Edit: No change, it still does the thing where you click to launch the game and nothing happens.

Holy Crap! This was 1M times easier than anything I've been reading on the forums before. I decided not to delete the game folder the other version downloaded and when I launched this new IR it launched in a flash! Win7 users are being gimped BIG TIME, even compared to Win10 (which is slower than on the Mac for loading). Now I get to try it on the Catalina partition before proceeding to my Win file import testing (auto-fill login, etc). Thanks Everyone!

Heh, IDK what my first thing I used was, but it only had DOS :p

Understandable, that's how my cellphone pics end up living for the most part. That and household projects I want to pre-pre-pre-plan. The rig up top is designed for Editing, Casual Gaming, and originally for Multi-OS booting (100% OSX compatible!). I stopped doing the last bit because I think it was messing with my system clock when swapping back to Windows. I now have a better understanding of how to isolate the OS', but haven't felt like playing with it again (considering I now have the MBP).

For testing purposes as the performance isn't that great for CoX (not why I bought it): Mods since purchase: HDD upgraded to: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 512GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E250B/AM) (OS/App drive) Partition Schema: Mojave, Catalina, Bootcamp / Win10.1909 Optical Drive moved into external enclosure and replaced by: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E2T0B/AM) (Time Machine / Shared Data) Upgraded from the Seagate HDD due to fear that the HDD wasn't handling the VM solution it was intended for as I've been experiencing bad read/write times (or so it felt as I don't have testing tools on the Mac for it like on PC) *Yes, I paid WAY too much, but got what I was aiming for at the time

Also, clean up those cables! :p

I'll take a look a these links soon and see what happens. For testing purposes, does anyone know how to reverse the effect of the script mentioned in the original process? IDK if it'll affect my next trial, but I'd prefer a clean process from which to refer to.

I'm toying around with installing the game on my 2012 MBP (Mojave/Catalina) with the hopes of helping others with things like addon installation, but ran into a bit of trouble likely due to ignorance of the process. I've tried to read through the various threads and it appears that not a one is complete or fully up to date. I had started by using the guide which gave a link to download Island Rum. That seemed to go off without a hitch until I was in the terminal as per the https://brew.sh/ instructions. The next step was to type in something related to Wine, but I read later that This process is no longer valid and explains the errors I'd gotten. Now I'm back to having the game files in the Applications folder/coh as well as the apparently useless Island Rum install. So my question then is what Are the next steps for Mojave/Catalina? Once I work through the process myself I intend on taking the snapshots and making a post relating to it and then proceeding to work on my How2's for things like addons.

@The Philotic Knight, remind me later that this is the kind of thing I'd like to see added to that project as well. Maybe as a sort of expanded function.

Something like this? ;)

Seriously, a lock the screen arrangement would be AWESOME. Yeah, now that I see it, I remember it being there. I just haven't been diving into the settings in a while. Someone'll find it useful though I'm sure.

That is Precisely what I was looking for. We'd rebuild the existing Mods and package them in a new standard format. These would then be stored alongside the app itself online. The concept is universal enough that any server could use or add to it. Give or take power mods that is.

Kinda wanna see some of this as Temp Powers...

Before SSDs were of reasonable price, the Hybrids were a great money saving alternative, now they're kind niche. TBH, get a good sized SSD (256Gb+) for your OS/Apps/Games and a separate HDD (just keep the Kudas to save money) for your data. Don't forget a dedicated drive for backing everything up as well as an external/removable drive for the redundant backup.

Hold the "Windows" key and Press the "Break" key to display the System Info screen Create a screenshot by Pressing the "Print Screen" key Use the "Paste" command in something like the Paint program and Save the picture Crop the image accordingly Upload the picture as it'll be clearer than using your phone

Hopefully this hasn't been chosen yet, but it's universal (other servers could use if they like): Repatriate: Someone who has returned home

Checkout my new request thread plz!

Please point out where in the Menu this is as many would likely want to know

Actually, it is...the floor itself is the "thing" that it's interacting with. IDK why, but it does. :/
