*Espy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Hi, Was using Tequila for City of Heroes On Windows XP SP3. Worked fine until yesterday, it was downloading an update and gave me the following errors of files that failed to download. Likewise when game is launches I get this error: : I have tried to install the new launcher, but get this error: "Could not load launcher bootstrap package." Please let me know what, if anything, I can do to fix this and load the game using EITHER launchers on this machine. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Arc-Mage Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Download the new HC Launcher. That should solve everything. Tequila is going away at some point anyways. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/installation-guide/ Then follow the instructions on how to install it. Also I'm not sure it's a good idea to post your XP Registration number. You should probably delete this pics. Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it just means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

City Council Number Six Posted April 30, 2021 City Council Share Posted April 30, 2021 Installing the new launcher doesn't currently work on XP because the default URLs were switched to https to work around some ISP caching/filtering problems. However, the secure socket library on XP doesn't support TLS 1.2 which is required by almost all sites now because of vulnerabilities in earlier versions. Working on adding http fallback support for the install step which should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderingAries Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 You have to use chrome on XP to get the New Launcher installed.

City Council Faultline Posted April 30, 2021 City Council Share Posted April 30, 2021 Here's a step-by-step guide on how to update TLS support and security certificates on Windows XP. After following these steps, I can get Tequila to work on a bare Windows XP SP3 system just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Espy Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Re-downloaded the modified HC launcher, and while it warned some items failed to download, the game seems to be working fine! Thank you so much for the quick action and advice from all, it is very much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
