Dredd's Guide to Loading City of Heroes


GM Dredd

Recommended Posts

Ok, I got the game, downloaded, I get the correct launching screen, I got the correct loading game screen, and then the correct sign in page, but when I put in my username and password I get an incorrect message.  Just to verify I am doing this correctly, it is the same as for this page, correct???

Did you make a game account here? It's not the same as your forum account.

I did make an account, I checked today and was able to access the game.  Is it possible there is a delay from creation to approval?  Really doesnt matter, I have my account up and active, thanks for the response.

Looks like it's a common thing now. My brother and I are having the same issue. Even a new install isn't working. I found a Manifest for other versions of the game that get those to load but Homecoming isn't working with the provided manifest.

I just got a new (used) computer and have been spending all day getting my games and such downloaded on it. It looks like I have the same problem as the couple previous posters. Downloaded Tequila, it downloaded the game and then said there was an error in such and such a list of files. Fingers crossed this is one of those minor hiccups and the team can resolve it. Thanks so much, team, for all your hard work, this has been a heck of a thing.

Try following these instructions:

 

We're currently experiencing an issue with one of the Datacenters we have the manifest server in. As a temporary solution you may try the following:

 

 

This is a temporary mirror for the manifest while we move it over into our larger network in the BHS datacenter.

I am in but there is nobody else-I mean NOBODY NO SKULl to beat up

Do you mean no NPCs running around? I suggest you loaded Paragon Chat or the Titan Icon rather than Homecoming (née Score in the OP).

Ok, I installed a 2nd install on a few year old laptop for my daughter.

 

Key problem, it has an older Intel integrated graphics card and Tequila is saying it doesn't have an OpenGL driver.  Since there are no updates for the driver (past 2016) and OpenGL stopped being a thing a long time ago, I'm at a loss.

 

Any suggestions how to work around this?

My friend's son had the same exact problem with his older laptop, and he solved it by following the instructions in this YouTube video..

 

 

and then he downloaded the fix from the added link from the expanded setting below the video

if it's on a newer system with Win10 there are also fixes that can be found by web surfing.

If I have the Coh CD can I install the game then use the Tequlia?

 

If you really want to, I think that would work - no promises, though, it might not recognize a pre-i23 install.

 

Actually figured it out (I think) :)  Can't wait to get back in the game!
