The Beta Servers were split off of the main manifest address of https://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml so new users and others who don't want to try the beta servers have less updates and downloads to patch. The old manifest should still work. BOTH manifests have links to the Homecoming Live service, so you only need one manifest whichever you prefer.
The other major change is that the Safe Mode client is no longer supported as of March 2020. Safe Mode has been removed from the regular and beta manifests, going forward the new 32-bit and 64-bit clients are the only supported ones for Homecoming.
... If your account was made since Torchbearer was started, your toons on the live servers should be completely unchanged. We added an automated Beta Account transfer tool that send a copy of your Live Server characters one-way only to the Beta Servers for tests and character respec experiments. Your toons have be at least Level 2 before they'll be visible on the tool.Toons cannot copy back from Beta to Live. That was not permitted with Paragon Studios, and we take the same stance... especially when we enable cheats on one pair of Beta servers. If you don't use the Beta Account tool, you can log into Beta servers with your regular game account. But if the Beta server is wiped none of your prior toons will be present. (You can always copy them again with the same tool.)
Hmm odd https://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml was giving me the wrong username error but the https://manifest,cohhc,gg/testing.xml was working fine, after reading your post I tried the old savecoh manifest and it worked today. A bit odd as I tried more than once and I know I was using the same username/password.
Still I am quite impressed I was able to get back in with little hassle!

Was cleaning out some old games and files from my SSD and saw COH and decided to try it after a fairly quick update the game loaded right up except it kept getting a "wrong username/password" error when I know I was using the right info.
Quick fix was checking the forums here and I saw the game now has "live" servers and "beta" servers. I had a couple character on Torchbearer back when I started this thread. To get to my account I had to add this:
https://manifest.cohhc.gg/testing.xml
to the tequila options and saw that the "live" servers from back when I made this thread are now considered beta servers..lol
Anyways I thought any older peeps coming back and get the "wrong username/password" error they just need to check this out and see maybe if they can get there characters transferred to the new "live servers", I know they have an option to go from the new live to the old"beta" but not sure about the other way around...it's a little odd they didn't just automatically transfer everyone's accounts over regardless of if you were playing at the time or not.

Well lookie there! It is a sticky. Nearly all of the information you folks are asking about is here:
Dacy did a fantastic job of making what amounts to our Base Builder's Bible in video form. 😄
Impish Kat put together a list of key's and functions.I know it's a lot to take in but it's well organized. You'll find your answers there with a quick CTRL F way quicker than someone who knows can respond in a thread.
Nice and handy but please look at the dates before quoting me like as if I was blind. There was no sticky back when I posted this and the things you link were made AFTER. You will note the helpful Impish Kat made the cheat sheet a couple days after my post. 😉
Thanks!

Sounds like you may have one of the fun anti virus that has several layers of defense that can not only block an exe but can also block websites and connections to them.
I would suggest looking over my guide again and recheck the various anti virus guides. Have had another person have a similar issue and while his anti virus was ignoring the exe's it was still blocking the game from connecting to the server due to the "real time" blocking they sometimes do, so recheck to make sure your anti virus doesn't have more than one area you can whitelist/add exception/exclusion to as that may be the problem. To be more clear you may have to add an exception to the game folder AND in another section of your anti virus to make sure it also not blocking the connection to the server.
It annoying as some anti virus have this which is similar to having a firewall so people think they got that all sorted then realize they have a firewall but then kind of have a mini firewall in the anti virus itself.

add it to panda's whitelist/exclusion/exception list......

You can just disable display scaling for the game exe too, it's in the troubleshooting section of my guide.

Added link to Malwarebytes exclusion steps in the troubleshooting section with the other anti virus guide links.

I had the same problem, running Avast and MalwareBytes, disabling the two of them works. I tried to add exception but that wasn't working.
My game and tequila are on 😄
I'd like to find a best way to fix the problem because having no AV or malware protection is not safe.
If you whitelisted added an exception correctly it would work with the A/V turned on. The fact they work when disabled is your proof right there. In some programs is adding an exception in some it's add ing an exclusion and in some you have to do it in more than one place as the anti virus has real time scanning /blocking.
Ideally you just add and exception/exclusion to the whole game folder so your anti virus/firewall/real time scanning etc just completely ignores everything in that folder.
My install guide, see link in my siggy, has a link in the troubleshooting section for avast as for malwarbytes you will have to google how to do it.
EDIT: https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1130

That's the thing with anti viruses and firewalls, people use them but don't know how they work and think they have disabled it but haven't, this seems to be a common issue with firewalls and norton or other anti virus that have several layers of defense or blocking methods.
-
You say you put in a new ssd with fresh install of windows...so did you follow/redo all the steps in my guide to make sure windows defender, anti virus etc do not block the game?
See link in my siggy which will take you to my sticky thread.
-
If files are deleting themselves then your anti virus, windows defender etc is deleting them.
-
Read the guide that is stickied in red at the top of this board or see my link in my siggy?

Read the guide.
Something on your PC is blocking/deleting or putting stuff in quarantine. Alternately go to the discord and ask for help there. They should be more up to date if there any new issues with the download mirrors etc etc
It's summer here, son is off school so just too busy IRL and the time I do spend on the PC is playing gw2 with my boy as he can't get into COH.
I do check weekly to see if there has been drastic changes but installation should be still be the same, you guys and gals just need to check in with discord to see of there new problems or issues that have popped up.
Also there's others in the forum here that have taken up the baton with helping with troubleshooting too but this guide is the starting point.
Be sure to read it all and not just skim to where you think the problem is.
Btw I do still have the game on my PC and log in once a week due to the name thing as I don't want to lose my characters names and my install has had no problems, logged in my characters just a couple days ago.

I apologize I'm sure I am one of many requesting help. I'm not very tech savvy but absolutely love this game. I've followed the directions trying different things for a day and a half now and when I open tequila I'm not getting a CoH Homecoming option all I'm getting is Homecoming and Homecoming BETA along with Paragon Chat and Titan. I'm not sure if something didn't download properly or if I somehow missed a step?
It's just because the guide is a bit older and thus so is the picture, you want to make sure "Homecoming" is highlighted (used to be COH HOMECOMING)... homecoming beta is for when the betas server is up and you want to avoid that.
Updated pic in OP btw to avoid confusion.

@Silk: it seems deleting tequilalog helped at least one player who was experiencing Tequila crashes on startup: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,5998.0.html
Added it to the troubleshooting section!

See my guide, look down at my siggy. I suggest you look over the OP and then see post 6.
-
Widower is more active on the forum. They might be the better person to ping. ;)
Will give it a try!
EDIT: Thanks for the sticky!
-
Also make sure you are starting the game via tequila.exe and not homecoming.exe.

This magnet link is stalled out, any solution to that?
Which one? This one here in the OP is still working fine for me:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:FD5ADD155E5FD01D6013B026A8766E56C2841E3D&dn=City%20of%20Heroes
Just checked it and has around 30+ seeds and is DL at 5.0+ MB/s ?
@WanderingAries I did send GMDredd a PM to ask to have it sticked so you would have to bump it daily multiple times butnever heard anything back, guessing might have been lost in his in box as it may get busy in there.
Still you would think with 18K views and all the info put in there it would have been stickied by now. I mean if it was I am sure people would see it more!
:D

Is the game hanging at the loading bar?
See my troubleshooting guide, I am fairly certain it a firewall/anti virus issues. Also I think windows 10 like to block files and you have to unblock then when trying to run things you have downloading off the web.
For Avast check to make sure you have added a GLOBAL exclusion to the whole game folder as well as a whitelist as I believe avast can actually block sites so that might be an issue too.
-
If you have read through the install guide and are still having troubles after making exception in your firewall anti virusprograms for the game folder then see this:
https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,4296.0.html
Seems like tequila has had some issues with hosts that have the files while I have been busy with RL.

Now I am wondering, since all the set IO's i have are attuned what I could put instead of the HamiO's that can be attuned or is is still worth putting hamiO's even though they dont keep working when exemplared etc?
Did they change something? Back on Live, HOs worked when exemping: Optimal slotting for Siphon Life in DM/ was 3x Nucleolus and 3x Golgi and I don't recall issues exemplaring, though I stopped playing just before I22 dropped, so maybe I missed an update?
Oh do they?
I never played live so this all new to me, I assumed the HamiO's didn't work like attuned IO's since in the AH there isn't any attuned "non lvl" ones, they only have ones with specific levels.
-
Have you made an exception/exclusion to your firewalls/anti virus as getting stuck at the loading banner is a classic effect of this problem.
-
Like Korbian has said I believe there was some issues this last week with the download hosts, Haven't been around much this week to keep an eye on things, but also homecoming.exe is one of the files anti virus/firewall programs like to block/quarantine so check that out.
The false postives can be fine one week and then the next with an update decide..no no you can't download that so it one you may have to recheck periodically depending on your A/V and how fussy it is...
