    Made clearer

    So I fixed the issue by doing  a complete wipe and reinstall following these instructions:

    1  Type "brew remove wine" in Terminal

     

    2.  Type "rm -R ~/.wine" in Terminal, and type it very carefully.

     

    3.  Delete any copies of "CoH.app" or "City of Heroes.app" in the Applications folder. Also delete any folders called CoH and any Island Rum Apps

     

    $. Download and run http://telstar.eekstudio.com/islandrum-mac.zip

     

     

    5. Island Rum will ask you to install a Game Client.  It will install Wine if you're using macOS > 10.11, or Wineskin if you're using other macOS.  The Wine install will be in a "wine" folder inside /Applications/coh, and Wineskin will be an app called "CoH.app" in Applications.

    Have you tried looking at the log file to see if anything shows up there? 

    
tail -F ~/Library/Logs/Time\ Sync/Island\ Rum/Player.log

    Is what I tend to having running in a terminal (iTerm2 by preference) so I can just check its all happy (which often its not, but we are definitely getting there!)

    I'm really sorry @Ernestobut I don't know how to "look at the log file and see if anything shows up there". I also don't know what I'd be looking for

    I'm the same.  I'd gotten everything working.  Then, today, going in through Island Rum, it says "Beginning Update" but never does anything.  I cannot even get into the game client.

    Likewise - I jumped through a 100 hoops to get it running when the 64 bit update dropped. Then I didn't play for a few days and now I can't get in. Island Rum is tell me this. Can you you help please@Manga?

    In order to get more control over the install process, I’m currently experimenting with a semi-custom “private” 64-bit wine container that Island Rum would download and install.  It will attempt to control as many parameters as possible, including where it installs, how CoH is launched, and the environmental parameters.  It will also start out with a “clean” .wine preferences if possible.

     

    It should enter Beta stage sometime today.

    I think you’re amazing to put so much effort in. Thank you 🙏

    I just wanted to say thanks very much to @Mangafor all his ongoing hard work. 

     

    I found this update technically challenging as it was beyond my comfort zone and level of technical comprehension but I did manage it eventually & yesterday it was running brilliantly in whizzy 64bit. 

     

    I know people are moaning because this update wasn’t plug and play but I think we need to keep sight of the fact that @Manga is doing this out of the goodness of his heart and with no financial or moral obligation to do so. 

     

    Without him,  the vast majority of us Mac users wouldn’t be able to play this game at all. 

     

    Thank you so much @Manga

    Please forgive the noob questions but:

     

    RE: Signature Story Arcs

     

    These were VIP only on live, are they now available to play on Homecoming?

     

    How do you start them? Just walk up to a contact?

     

    Are they soloable?

     

    If you are too high a level for a specific chapter can you still access it? Would that be via Oroborus?

     

    Thanks in advance

    A team I was with today had one of these amazing quality of life enhancing powers today.

     

    Paragon wiki suggests it used to be an account wide purchasable power during live.

     

    How can I get my sticky paws on one now please?

    Does i25 give access to the unreleased power pools?

    Are there any plans to complete those sets? I imagine no new animations would be required for force of will

     

    I can't promise you anything, but we're definitely interested in finishing them.

     

    As someone who loves The Batfamily so much I legally changed my middle names to “Bruce Wayne” IRL, you would make my life complete if you finished Utility Belt  :)

     

    And yet you chose Astrobear as your forum name!? For shame master Bruce!

     

    Never be too obvious. This is the reason that I have an entire wardrobe full of Batman tee shirts, belts, socks & underwear but, despite being heavily tattooed I have one tiny 5mm Batsymbol hidden in a much larger traditional piece.
