paibis Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 same problem here. I downloaded the homecoming launcher : https://manifest.cohhc.gg/launcher/hcinstall.exe and I chose the directory where the game was already installed with tequila, it worked perfectly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudra Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Tequila runs just fine for me. Opened it up and it just updated. Edit: And scratch that. It failed at the end of the update while I was posting this. Edited April 30 by Rudra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cited post says that one of the player's PCs can't run the HC launcher, so swapping to it isn't exactly viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely an option to switch, which may involve more than folks think in order to have everything work as someone wants.

Well, here's hoping Tequila is going to be updated. However, like @Voltor said, when I tried to run Tequila, it validated its files, downloaded the update, and then failed to update. So that tells me it isn't a matter of waiting for the Tequila update to be posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troo Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 @Michiyo The tequila launcher eventually updated and works. fyi - I can get into open Betas with it just fine. I'm sure folks will start to look into the new launcher. Maybe HC has a little little PR blitz planned for down the road (so long as it has moved past removing files from peoples computers).

Seconding this as even mod files aren't affected by game updates unless you directly put them overtop of the original files (as opposed to the /data folder). IIRC, Tequila has an installer that may even create registry files (Windows) and is more or less a standard app whereas the HC launcher (that's been around for Quite some time and even had some initial Hoopla) was designed to basically be portable (in Windows at least) in that you could take the whole directory, copy it to say an external drive, and then drop it to another computer with the ability to play it as if nothing happened (give or take hardware changes that affect things like GFX settings). When you install the HC Launcher (see my links), it even Looks for Tequila and asks (?) if you want to copy the files from it to the Launcher's directory (think upgrade). 1 OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired <||> Generally Inactive Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!
