Can't launch with homecoming.exe

[Robotech_Master]

When I run homecoming.exe from the Documents\City of Heroes directory where Tequila installed the game, I get the City of Heroes splash screen for a moment, then it just vanishes before it even brings up the login prompt.

 

To access the game, I have to run the Tequila 1.0.0.20 installer app that I downloaded to install it in the first place, then click "play". Then it launches just fine.

 

Should it be acting like that?

Yes, because the launcher contains your manifest.

It should be acting like that, because when you run it directly you haven't provided it with patch directory, patch date or authserver IP.

Tequila is more of a launcher than an installer app, thus why you need to launch the game with it. It also provides updates, if any are available, when you first start it so be sure to close it after every session.
