You can view your connection status by typing /netgraph 1, this will appear at the bottom right of the screen and will not affect gameplay. /netgraph number Allows the user to turn on and off a network monitoring graph. This graph will overlay on top of any other windows, and will always be in the lower right hand corner. 0 - Off 1 - Display a small netgraph 2 - Display a large netgraph. /netgraph by itself will return the current net_graph setting. Netgraph shows a visual representation of TCP/IP network data flow called "packets". A network packet is segment of a larger message after it has been divided into parts or units of data. Each packet is then sent across a network of communication lines and recombined on the other end. Interpreting the netgraph: Spike shape: The height of the bar representing server ping time in milliseconds. Short is good, long is bad. Green bars represent received packets. Short = normal/good Long = low bandwidth. Yellow bars represent retransmitted packets. Short = ISP/Router issues Red bars represent dropped packets Short = ISP/Router issues Blocks of Red = Interrupted communications

Not entirely sure if this belongs here or elsewhere but found that the name for the Board Transit mission that starts Dr. Stribbling's Arc is not correct at the Tram when you click to enter it. It lists Jamison Office Park but it is a Laboratory Map not an outdoor map, but it does connect correctly to the mission, just named wrong.

Keep in mind that the Homecoming Launcher is fully supported and the other Launchers are not. Installation instructions are in the getting started section on the Forum Main page.

take a look at this @you-surname...

What was it ? Just in case someone else has the same issue.

Are you using Multiple Displays? Seem to recall that COH needs to be running on Display 1 or it will time out due to inactivity after a short bit on some setups. Just a thought since it had not been mentioned

Take a look at this post and see if it helps...

Checked Wiki and the Wedding Band can be obtained thru Ouro but if it has been obtained before it is a limited version. Temporary powers denoted by this icon can also be obtained via Ouroboros flashbacks. If the power has already been obtained once, however, a more limited version (an "echo") of the power is awarded instead.

If you open LFG in game, then click Task Force / Strike Force the Weekly Strike Targets will have a purple tinted background. Doesn't jump out at you, but it is there.

I don't know if this is the case here, but most installs of Vista were 32 bit, they offered 64 bit but it was not the standard install at the time. I am not sure the HC Launcher can run on 32 bit systems and have no way to test that currently. Anyway, make sure that your Windows 7 install is 64 bit, just to be sure, it can be done either way. This will remove one more pesky thing from the list of possible problems when you try to install the HC Launcher.

I'm still not sure why the HCinstaller is not working. May be worth going to Registry. Need to be careful in here. In the PC search type " reg " and Registry Editor should appear as a choice. Click on it. Click yes to allow app to make changes if prompted. From the Registry Editor List: Click HKEY_CURRENT_USER, click SOFTWARE, search list for Tequila, delete it by right clicking and selecting delete from the list. Click HKEY_USERS, check each sub-folder, in software for Tequila, if found, delete it. Close Registry Editor and Power Cycle the PC. Hopefully this will do the trick, if not, we may need one of the big guns to step up, I'm about out of ideas. ( Upgrading to Windows 7 would certainly enlarge the pool of people who could help you, Vista was not around for long and few people use it anymore. I had one Vista laptop eons ago and was really glad to get the Win7 upgrade because it seemed easier to work with. Keep in mind that you may still have the same issue after the upgrade since we have not determined what is wrong. )

No, all that is stored server side and will repopulate your client upon login. Good Luck.

The 2 installs are now separate and being in the same folder was probably why it wouldn't run. Since neither version is currently working I would make sure that any anti-virus is off, delete the existing games folder and all copies of the hcinstaller from downloads. Reboot the computer and start over following what we have done so far. Seems like something interfered or corrupted the downloads, hopefully that won't happen once the folder is gone and you create a fresh install. Just make sure to place it where we put it earlier.

I see the homecoming.exe app in this shot, but also titan Icon and tequila files. This looks to be your existing Tequila based install. The Homecoming Launcher needs to be installed in a separate folder than your Tequila Install. Just move or copy it from downloads to C:/Games not C:/Games/COH and then see what you have when you click on it.

Is there anything other than COH in the C:/Games folder? Seems like you didn't get the full download or this is part of the Tequila install.

Make sure that the Homecoming download goes to a folder outside Windows control, so not in Program Files. Preferred location is C:/Games. Open My Computer, go to C drive and open the Games Folder, you should see this... Click on Homecoming, you should see something like this... If none of this is there then something blocked the download. If it is there, try the Homecoming shortcut and see if that will start the game. If not, try disabling any Anti-Virus you have until you get it working, then add it to the AV exceptions or White list. Let me know how this goes.

A little information that would help greatly. Tequila is being phased out so getting the Homecoming Launcher working is for the best. Did you install HC Launcher to the C:/Games folder? ( This being a separate folder from the Tequila install ) Do you have a shortcut on your desktop? What happens when you try to start a session?

The Homecoming Launcher is the preferred access application and is fully supported by the Homecoming Staff. Tequila is being phased out and is no longer supported. The Homecoming Launcher installation instructions are HERE.

FYI, You can see exactly how much Influence you have earned from combat / mission completion at any Information Terminal, I don't think it includes earnings from the auction house though. Will also show other stats as well.

Only viable if all involved equipment was made of foam rubber. I bet @Snarky was bummed when he discovered the Toy Bat wasn't the kind of bat with wings.

Go to Menu / Options / Control / Mouse and set "Free Camera Movement" to Disabled.

Watching some of the Ebay computer vendors could be worth it, found a Dell Laptop with a 2 GB Video card, that could use up to 16 GB ram ( it had 4 GB ) for $89.99, cost me another $20.00 to max the ram and it plays pretty well, not quite my gaming tower with 32 GB of ram, but it'll do and not a huge investment.

Unai Kemen intro to Harvey Maylor:

This game is not easy to get newer PCs to run well. It is 20 years old, uses OpenGL, was designed for PCs with dedicated video cards, does not play well with the GeoForce Experience, does not like sharing it's connection and is very sensitive to changes in bandwidth. Ultra Mode can be more than Integrated Graphics or even some basic Video Cards can handle. Let's start with something basic. Try running netgraph, type /netgraph 1 in the chat line and monitor the results, /netgraph 0 turns it off. It will appear in the lower right side of screen. Spike shape: The height of the bar representing server ping time in milliseconds. Short is good, long is bad. Green bars represent received packets. Short = normal/good Long = low bandwidth. Yellow bars represent retransmitted packets. Short = ISP/Router issues Red bars represent dropped packets Short = ISP/Router issues Blocks of Red = Interrupted communications

Good to know, I think most people use these for the -knockback and the set bonuses anyway.
