Running 64 bit CoH in Steam

[Silver Spirit]

Hi,

 

I've been running City of Heroes through steam and up until today it's been fine.

 

It still works after updating the arguments, however I cannot get it to run as the new 64 bit version.

 

It seems that tequila is using some sort of internal parameter rather than an argument on the executable to set which version it uses.

 

Usually all you have to do is take from this line in the tequila.xml:

        <launch exec="hc-bin32\cityofheroes.exe" order="0" params="-patchversion 2019.08.22 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming">Homecoming</launch>

 

and everything is fine but now it has this one:

        <launch exec="hc-bin64\cityofheroes.exe" order="1" params="-patchversion 2019.08.22 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming" architecture="x64">Homecoming (64-Bit)</launch>

 

Does anyone know what is needed to force 64 bit?

I don't think you'd have to force it.  You should just be able to run hc-bin64\cityofheroes.exe with those parameters.

Ok literally just after I submitted it I figured it out.

 

What you have to do is set the exe path as:

hc-bin64\cityofheroes.exe

 

The starting folder as the main install folder (wont run otherwise).

 

And the arguments as they are in the tequila.xml

-patchversion 2019.08.22 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming

 

That seems to work perfectly.
