[Mid's Reborn: Hero Designer]

It think lib/zlib1.dll is built with the anycpu target instead of the 32-bit one.  I was able to fix this on my installation by replacing it with the latest 32-bit version from dll-files.com

Cool thanks, I got it working with that dll.

Is there still a 32 bit only zip version? I believe that is what I previously used for installation via Wine. Basically, I set everything up after a hiatus, and I receive the following error when attempting to load or save from a file:

❯ wine --version
wine-6.0.2

 

I've tried a wineprefix with WINEARCH=win32 as well as win64 just for the heck of it. The same error occurs. The wine version is above and I use winetricks to install dotnet48.  I can do seemingly anything else in the app. It starts up and I can pick powers and enhancements fine. I am just not able to save (and load) the files. Anyway I vaguely remember the first post containing links for a "macos/linux" version but I don't see that now.

[Homecoming Launcher - Linux Advice]

I've been using and enjoying the new launcher since around November with no issues. Today however, when I open the launcher, the left bar doesn't seem to load. So I cannot click "ready" to play the game. I have been on wine-6.0 stable for some time with Kubuntu 20.10.

 

I created a new wine prefix to no avail. Also, I have ZFS snapshots of the game files. When I rollback and start the game up I can see the left bar for half a second while it downloads/verifies files and then vanishes... never to return on subsequent startups. So I think maybe the latest update (Mar 2nd) is related to my particular problem.

If I start with a clean CoH folder and let hclauncher download all the files, I see the left pane. And sure enough, just like the zfs rollback, I can see the left pane until I get all of the updates. On subsequent launcher startups my left pane is gone.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

 

 

 

This fixed it for me.

The old TP Foe is rolled into "Teleport Target". It is basically recall friend and tp foe combined.

[Focused Feedback: Blaster Secondary Revamp]

Dynamo's short help lists the following:

Toggle: PBAoE, Minor DoT(Energy), Foe -End

 

While the detailed info on the power and enhancements screen only lists the Recovery and Regeneration components.

 

+112.50%% regeneration rate on self Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable

+112.50%% regeneration rate on self unresistable

+100.18%% recovery rate on self unresistable

 

I did put the whole Power Transfer set in there which is why the recovery is showing enhanced values.

The endurance drain component from Lightning Field is there as well. I figured I would mention this since the patch notes only state:

Is now the sustain power in the set (along with the existing damage aura component)

 

I do see in the combat log it is draining enemy endurance

[Focused Feedback: Teleportation Pool Revamp]

On Live, I have a Savage/Bio Brute where Combat Teleport works perfectly for my concept. Testing it out, I was really digging the complete bamf experience.
I was using the binds posted in this thread a few times to bounce around to my single targets and swipe them.

/bind SHIFT+w "powexec_location target combat teleport"

 

But then, on Savage Melee in particular, it is a great way to grab more stacks of Bloody Frenzy mid fight.
When Savage Leap is up, I use the following 2 binds in succession:

/bind SHIFT+s "powexec_location back:40 combat teleport"
/bind button4 "powexec_name Savage Leap"

 

Shift+S sets me back 40 feet and then my side mouse button sends me in with Savage Leap. I will immediately gain 3 more stacks of Blood Frenzy. This also tries to maximize Savage Leap's damage. With this method I also prefer to slot a set in Savage Leap now, rather than a bunch of procs.
I also threw out some Electrifying Fences before doing the back-up-and-leap to immobilize what I could. Though, you can get by without the immobilize as the whole thing is pretty quick.

[Install and Troubleshooting Guide v2]

A note for Linux users, I was having issues getting this going on Wine version 4.6.X. I would get crashes installing dotnet35. This was attempted on both Ubuntu and Manjaro. Eventually I downgraded to Wine version 4.5.1 and the dotnet35 setup completed.
