Well if you haven't filed a support ticket that would be a good next step. It concerns me that in your initial post you mentioned clicking the COH icon, unless you created that, it should simply be Tequila or the Homecoming Launcher. The old client from when the game was live will not work. Also the launchers from other Private servers will not work as far as I've seen. Titan Icon from the Titan Network worked as you describe, it was a self hosted single player environment with no gameplay. Paragon Chat was a multi-player non-combat Roleplay Environment that was self hosted with an XXMP Server connection to allow players to interact. Neither of these will get you on Homecoming. Have you downloaded the Homecoming Launcher? ( Preferred ) Have you downloaded Tequila? Without one of these 2, you are not going to be able to access the Homecoming Servers. Keep in mind these need to be installed in a non Windows Controlled location, Say in a Games Folder directly on your hard drive, not in Program files or on your Desktop.

Sorry but it almost sounds like you are using Paragon Chat or Titan Icon. After you create a Forum Account you need to go to "Account" at the top of this page and create a game account. Then download the Homecoming Launcher, be sure to install it to a folder directly on your main drive, not in a Windows controlled location like Program Files. The Launcher will then download the Game Client. All you should have on your desktop is the Launcher, not sure what you were logging into but you should see the 4 North American Shards and Reunion (EU). Then you can create or recreate your Characters. Good Luck.

Good to know, have no way to contact any of the old group directly, but will keep an eye out for them and more, Thanks @FiresprayUK

Make sure that what you are using for the "account name" to log in matches what is in the light blue band on the game account screen, it is case sensitive.

There are some things that you can open up in your router that might help. Below are the ports CoH uses to communicate: Game Ports The game client is somewhat Firewall and NAT friendly. However any issues can be resolved by ensuring the following ports are open: TCP 2104 TCP 2106 TCP 443 UDP 7000-7200 Hope this is some help.

Anything is possible, was trying to help a guy last week and it turned out having Google Chrome open while he was playing was causing Map Server Disconnects. I guess not shocking considering how spooky it is that ads on every web site tune themselves to where you have been recently, and that requires a lot of Bot jibber jabber to pull off. Try looking at your Task Manager and see if something is running at high priority, that requires internet, that isn't essential, and dial it back to low. Also set CoH and the Launcher to High. If you look at them in Task Manager they may still say normal after the change, but they will do that whenever Task Manager is open. Never hurts to take a look.

Found a Few recently, would look to see if they have been reported, but egad!, there are 30 Pages to read through. This one from Maria Jenkins: " he brough here " should be " he brought here" And this one from the Introduction to Harvey Maylor probably was supposed to be " he is hot on the trail ".

This is exactly when it becomes crystal clear that all the time and effort the Homecoming Team spends on extremely Unsexy Infrastructure updates is SO Important. I have a Windows Server, ( no hard drive or OS ), sitting at my house that I got from work after our recent upgrade. I really plan to build it up and use it as a COH Local Client on my home Network for posterity, but have never got moving on it. HC IS SPOILING ME, LOL. Sorry to hear about the other servers demise, but thanks to the Homecoming Team for all that you do to keep us running and oblivious.

There is a possibility that it is a Pathway issue. These can be hard to resolve but we may be able to find a starting point. You say you are on Reunion, if you log into one of the four NA Shards do you have the same performance issues? If so, that means the problem is somewhere closer to you, perhaps your ISP, modem or Router. If not, that suggests the problem is something between you and the server in Germany. There is a program called WireShark that you can download for free that can show you all the hops that your connection takes to get from point A to point B. After that who knows, I know for me in Ohio, there was an internet Black Hole right between me and the NA servers called Detroit when i first started here that used to give me fits, so I switched to Reunion, problem solved. Hope this helps...

You might read through this, if you haven't, as it covers what does and doesn't work with COH pretty thoroughly. Laptops and COH: A Modern Guide - Help & Support - Homecoming (homecomingservers.com)

Below is some ideas from @Tahquitz from a different topic. BTW, as it still works, you might try a separate install of Tequila to see if you get a different result. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Network communications appear to stop with the game immediately after login. This has happened on Paragon Chat a bit back in the day for the same reason. Three things: 1.) Secure communications is time-dependent. Check your system time/date/timezone and make sure they're set correctly. (This is fairly unlikely except in edge cases, as an incorrect clock would affect your HTTPS browsing as well.) 2.) There's some client advice from Paragon Wiki/HC Wiki from back in the day: See if opening these ports makes a difference in Windows Firewall or your security app of choice. (Outgoing Rules ONLY, setting these in Incoming Rules creates more vulnerabilities without helping to connect any better.) 3.) If neither of these help, you can use a Launch Parameter to see disconnection errors better in your case: This will show you the network activity upon login in a different window. Be careful, as if the client is closed or crashes, the console window dies immediately. (A second monitor, even if it's hooking a HDMI cable to your TV temporarily, may be helpful.) When you have the info you need, clearing the Launch Parameters box in Tequila will stop the Console Window from opening when starting the game.

Just to cover the basics: Did you place the game folder on the Hard Drive in it's own folder or in Program Files? ( can't be in Program Files or any Windows controlled location ) Have you tried connecting to different shards? ( Even if you don't have Characters there it may help narrow down the Issue ) Are you using Tequila or the Homecoming Launcher? ( Homecoming Launcher is generally preferred, check if it is the correct Version ) Are you using a Wired or Wireless connection? ( if you can be Wired, I would, Latency and Lost Packets will kill this games connection ) ( Being able to stream music or video, or being able to Surf the web does not prove anything, all of those are buffered and can handle lost packets, etc., COH can't )

Well I've got some with a set story and some I'm always tweaking,

Managed to get in there, and glad to help,

Paragon City can't afford to lose you, not even for a little while.

If you are using a wired connection and do not have a Static Public IP Address, try plugging directly into your internet modem. You may need to reboot so you grab a new IP Address. ( or open a Command prompt and Type without quotations " ipconfig /release " press enter then type " ipconfig /renew " press enter ) See if you can connect that way. If so it is something in the router blocking the traffic. If that doesn't work reboot the modem and retry. Let us know how it goes.

I have one of the original game manuals and have considered scanning it to PDF, it is rather outdated but contains useful information. But also a piece of game history.

All the people that were on my "Global Friends" List that have not returned. ( Including my brother, who just did not have any real interest in playing, left live at issue 16? or so ) Virtues always present creative community, saw some of the most Amazing Characters there, 3' tall Bird people, that sort of stuff. The wonder that this game could elicit, at the time this game at Ultra was fantastic, and you had to have a really nice computer to appreciate it all, or to even see it. I had a nice machine with a 2 Gig Video card and a dedicated Ageia PhsyX Co-Processor, rag doll physics actually didn't look like a defeated NPC were having a seizure or dismembering themselves. Also had a Yamaha 3D sound card, finding glowies was a piece of cake.

Mission from Janet Kellum Get the citizens away from the toxic gas Had this issue the last time I did this Mission. All the citizens ( 20 of them ) are the exact same NPC. Last time they were all a Female in a tee shirt and shorts, this time a Male in a tee shirt and shorts. Not a bug that in any way effects gameplay or completing the mission, just damn odd.

New Dark Astoria has some of the most well written stories in the game. There are Mission Mechanics used that are Unique, and several of them play out, at least for the first run thru, in surprising ways. I like that it was built for Solo or Small Teams, a rarity in this game. Piecemeal has commented that there is a commitment to developing " The Coming Storm / Battalion " material, but it may be a while out to say the least, but at least we know they are trying to develop more content.

If you are logged into the forums with the 2nd account, verify that it is showing your 2nd account user name at the upper right side of menu and verify spelling, it cannot be the same as your 1st account. If it is correct go to the Account tab at the top of this screen and select " Game Account ", enter a new password there and document it. It may just be that it was mistyped when you entered it. Good Luck. ( I don't think you can use the same email address for 2 accounts, but a gmail address is free )

Thanks for the update, hopefully someone else having the same issue will find this post helpful.

This is probably a long shot, very long.....

You can sometimes easily improve your situation by taking advantage of pool powers to help offset some of the quishiness. Combat Jumping, Tough and Weave can all be taken and slotted to help shore up a Toon whose Archetype doesn't have inherent Survivability. Although defeating an adversary requires Damage Output, giving yourself more time that you can hang in a fight can sometimes be an easy fix. If you fill these with Enhancement Sets that give you additional Buffs to Damage, Accuracy, Defense and Resistance you'll see a difference.
