Wbemprox.dll is a part of Wine, it is used for WMI calls in Windows apps. WBEM and WMI is the same thing: a hardware surveying feature used in corporate networks. I doubt it's going to stop the game from working if it is deleted. Wbemprox regularly appears in Wine's patch notes, so updating Wine will likely replace it. I can't rule out that the file is/isn't infected. But if the file keeps coming up, you can send the file to https://www.virustotal.com/en/ to verify if it is the Windows or Wine version, or actually infected.

I apologize, I assumed you had alt logins you don't have. (Assumptions and online tech help often are unavoidable.) Regardless, is "Remember User Name" checked when you login? If it is, then, "C:\Games\Homecoming\Accounts\YOURNAMEHERE\playerslot.txt" may need to be deleted. Next time you open the client, the file will be remade and you should be able to move your characters how you like them from there on. (I'm also assuming your installation is in C:\Games\Homecoming, and the file is being written in the first place.)

You have to check "Remember Username" in the login screen. If you don't, playerslot.txt doesn't save. (If using multiple accounts, takes a second to delete the username and type an alt login.) If you have, the file has likely been corrupted. Deleting it should clear it up.

Sorry to necro a post in a living thread, but I can offer some baseline suggestions for running this on Mac. I can get it to run in Wine Stable version 8 and newer, with some considerations. I'm assuming the following: You have not installed Wine or any other apps using Wine other than City of Heroes (which uses a portable installation: if this doesn't work, wiping out Wine in Homebrew and removing the helper apps with it won't phase it.) CoH Modding Tool is only going to change physical files in the client, so it doesn't need to be in the same "prefix" as City of Heroes, as you'll see below, it doesn't even have to use the same copy of Wine. If you do use Wine on Mac for other games, more than this will be needed concerning managing your Wine Prefixes correctly. (Best practice of Wine is not to use the same Wine Prefix for running multiple apps. That way a software failure doesn't impact other apps that you run.) I'm also using MacOS Sonoma, older MacOS installs may vary. Tips below. Only offering tips, and not a step-by-step guide, because I'm not equipped or have enough time on my hands to be on-call Tech Support for Mac users. No guarantees or promises. Finally, remember Brian Krebs' Three Rules for Internet Safety. This means you'll be babysitting Wine, Winetricks, Homebrew and .NET for regular updates on your own. If this doesn't sound like a good time, I'd suggest finding another answer. With this answer, if you do screw it up (and don't use Wine for anything else), hitting eject is easy: use Brew to remove Wine, Winetricks, and delete the folder you installed CoH Modding Tool. Done. (Want to start over? Use Homebrew to wipe Wine and Winetricks out, not just remove it. All in the user guide.) And like Michiyo said, app support outside of Windows is on your own.

There's a reason for that. Jannissey Heights is a "tram location" used in numerous missions. Anybody could issue it. But the mission title is something else. Do you mean Laurie Pennington by chance? https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Laurie_Pennington

Windows 10/11: Settings app, Accessibility, in Keyboard there should be an entry to “Use PrintScreen to open Screen Capture Utility”, turn it off.

Rosetta 2 handles this for free. Parallels sub not required. To install it via Terminal (or find out if it is already installed): /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

Is it the Matthew Habashy arc? The first arc uses Solo Missions to isolate the player for part of the story. Checking the Fire Cave and visiting the Hellion hideout in disguise only one player can enter. There are other solo missions in the arcs for Part II (Costel and Fields). Part III (Thierry) should be able to team up with friends for the whole ride. Shining Stars and the other arcs in AP should be unaffected. Let me know if that helps.

100% on the Daft Punk. Makes Legacy that much more special to me. There's no shortage of Retro Synth music out there, but it'll be an interesting choice of composer regardless. (Or lack thereof if they go atmospheric/cinematic score only and shun more detailed music.)

Deadline Hollywood's reporting stated it's a reboot, not a sequel, so if anyone from Tron or Tron: Legacy appears it'll be cameos most likely. Jared Leto has me worried. Between Suicide Squad and Morbius, he's not doing too hot in the superhero genre. Tron isn't more than a skip away from that scene.

Does that system have any software that would interfere with mouse activity? Like a helper app or something in the System Tray? If you're not sure, Win 8 and later you can open Task Manager and in Startup disable anything not made by Microsoft and reboot. Try the game. If the mouse works, one at a time enable Startup apps until the behavior returns. Otherwise if it still happens with Startup apps disabled, go ahead and reenable them all.

Might need to file a support ticket. Not much we players can do to help with that. 👍 Got the right idea, though. Tell them all you remember about them.

Not at all. It is a Wiki, and I am human, I do make mistakes!

Minor update - it is now.

I had no clue January 4th was going to be huge. A month before, I was making a guide to Homecoming specific changes since Issue 24 for new players to brush up on. I didn’t realize how big of a list that was going to turn out to be, so I sectioned it up and put collapsible headings. Now I think it’s ready to be dissected by wiki editors to adjust, add and trim away. But also for new players: here’s a field guide for coming back to Paragon City and environs. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/What's_new_in_Homecoming_for_Returning_Players
