The patch manifest that unofficial launchers use lags behind our official launcher by a bit, you'll have to either switch to the official launcher or give it a bit of time to update. 1 Cipher City Council If you need help, please submit a support request here or use /petition in-game.

Sabre Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I disabled all my real time protection and it still does not work. Hopefully this is something the Devs/Admin can quickly fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Council Michiyo Posted April 30 City Council Share Posted April 30 The best option at this time is to switch to the Official Homecoming Launcher: https://manifest.cohhc.gg/launcher/hcinstall.exe Tequila is being phased out, so you'll need to switch eventually anyway.

DztBlk Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Thank you. I downloaded LaunchCat but it keeps unexpectedly quitting. I'm sorry for the constant requests but I thought I read something about renaming a file or something. Any guidance regarding the unexpectedly quitting. I can attach the report regarding it if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DztBlk Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I am downloading the signed version which has gone further than the other version. It's reinstalling homecoming but that's okay. I will update the forum as it occurs just in case anyone else has the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DztBlk Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Yep. I used the signed version and reinstalled homecoming. Now it's working. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Ronin Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Just now, Ravenplume said: Huh. Wonder why they felt the need to change it. It wasn't like it was broken or anything... Tequila is very insecure and could be used to spread malware and do nasty things to your computer. So yeah, it kind of is broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to log in tonight 😞 Download the Official Homecoming Launcher and you won't have that issue. 1 hour ago, Ravenplume said: Huh. Wonder why they felt the need to change it. It wasn't like it was broken or anything... HC Launcher has three primary design goals: Speed, Security, and Compatibility. Speed: The launcher is supposed to get you into the game, it shouldn’t take any longer than absolutely necessary to fulfill this function. Tequila and several other launchers are based on .NET, and as a result have noticeably slow startup times on some systems. HC Launcher is designed not only for fast startup and faster patching, but also to avoid long and unnecessary file verification, or delays due to Internet latency. Security: This has been a frequent criticism of Tequila and its use of unauthenticated manifest files. By putting in a manifest file, you are in effect trusting the author of that manifest with complete access to the user account you’re running it under, since it can download and run arbitrary code. It also lacks protection against man-in-the-middle attacks, making it impossible to know if a malicious third party has hijacked the manifest. HC Launcher addresses all of those issues by using strong cryptography to verify the integrity of itself and everything it downloads. More details can be found in the technical deep dive post. Compatibility: HC Launcher is written in C and uses many of the same libraries as the game itself. As a result, it should run in any environment that is capable of running the game, such as wine on Linux/Mac, without any additional work. Important note: HC Launcher uses a different file layout for the client install, reorganizing it to make it easier to manage. As a result, it cannot coexist with Tequila and must be installed to a different location. By default it attempts to locate existing files to avoid having to redownload them, as well as migrate user data. More information about the new layout is available in the technical deep dive post. 1 1 I lead weekly Indomitable Badge Runs Best Post Ever....

Troo Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Crippling peeps game for the 20th anniversary was not the plan. What matters came from Cipher: " ..give it a bit of time to update.

Lunar Ronin Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 This whole thing is just telling me that Homecoming really needs to work on advertising the Homecoming launcher to people, probably with an in-game pop up message. I'm honestly shocked by how many people aren't using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly shocked by how many people aren't using it. We advertise it, have it on the getting started page and talk about it all the time with a link to download it https://manifest.cohhc.gg/launcher/hcinstall.exe whenever anyone asks about Tequila. I think some people just like to stick to the familiar. I know a few people who won't change something because it works and they don't want to learn a new thing.
