Stuck at "Fetching Manifest"

[Engkanto]

I see that servers are up. Is it because you retain only certain number of players? Now it's 6079.

The server that has the manifest.xml appears to be down - and so is support.homecomingservers.com, so I can't file a ticket there.

[Adeon Hawkwood]

Yeah it looks like savecoh.com is down so that's why it can't download the manifest.

[Legion of One]

I can't launch the game either, but I have friends that are playing.

[Hedgewizard]

my gaming group is having the same issue.

[Perma-Newbie]

Ok, so it's not just me.

[ZephyrMourne]

We're having the same issue. Hopefully we'll hear something soon?

A GM posted a work around in Discord

 

1. Go to your CoH directory

2. Find homecoming.exe, right click on it and select "create shortcut"

3. Right click on the shortcut and select "properties"

4. In the properties window find the "Target" field

5. After the link in that field copy and paste the following parameters: -patchversion 2019.06.05 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming

6. Run the shortcut

HERO!

Thank, Geribello. That worked!

I have not tried Adeon's suggestion but I believe it will work too.

You guys are superb!
