[Safe Mode Discontinuation Support - Windows]

Follow the instructions in this post.  However, there will be a substitution needed.

 

### Now we're in the "Create new Application Fix" window:
1. Type "City of Heroes" in the first box.
2. Type anything you wish in the middle Name of the vendor for this program box.
3. Click the Browse button & locate the game's folder.
    * If you do not know where your folder is, ask whoever you got these steps from or seek assistance
    in the Discord's tech help channel.
4. Click one time to select homecoming.exe then click the Open button.
    * This may only say homecoming depending on your system's settings.  If so, select the one with the
    City of Heroes icon, not a folder icon.

In step 4, you’ll need either ‘/hc-bin32/cityofheroes.exe’ or ‘/hc-bin64/cityofheroes.exe’ as the file to shim.  You’ll need to refer to the same file for the rest of the process in place of homecoming.exe.  Choose the one you wish to execute for your system (64-bit most likely.)

That worked!  I can now run in 32-bit mode.  Thank you very much!

[Safe Mode Discontinuation Support - Windows]

I can only run CoH in Safe mode as 32-bit and 64-bit say I do not have an OpenGL driver when I try to launch them.

 

I have a Dell Latitude E-series laptop.

It has an Intel HD 3000 chip.

I am running Windows 10, 64-bit, version 1903

 

The error I receive is in the picture below.  It says I need to go to the hardware manufacturer for the driver. 

Intel says the driver comes with the game I want to run.

The Win 10, 64-bit, drivers for the Intel HD 3000 chip do not have the OpenGL driver.

I have followed the guides on the forums to load a driver and to use the Compatibility Administrator and neither fixed the problem.

 

I'd like to play the game without buying a new computer, but when Safe Mode goes away, my access will as well.  Please help.
