Tequila crashing

[lextarget]

Since yesterday, every time I launch Tequila, it crashes before it's even done validating the files... I can't play CoH since yesterday. Am I the only one experiencing this?

 

What can I do?

That happened to me last night - if you double click on "Homecoming", it will launch the game.

 

I ran Tequila as administrator, and it stayed up long enough for me to launch the game.  Didn't have any problems with crashing when I played today.

Do you get any error messages when the crash occurs?

One thing to try is to delete tequila.exe, tequila.xml and tequilalog.xml from the game directory, Tequila's settings from your system registry (see Silk's Install & Troubleshooting thread) and reinstall Tequila.

 

Another option is to create a batch file (.BAT extension) in the game's directory with the following contents:

start homecoming.exe -patchversion 2019.06.05 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming

Double-clicking the batch file will launch the game same as you'd get through Tequila. It will only work until the next patch for main Homecoming (although a change of authserver, executable name or patch directory would likewise stop the workaround from functioning)
