Hi all CoH players :D

[Delrith]

Hi all...i'm thinking of getting this game and just need help on two q's:
1) does anyone know what the min pc spec has to be to run it smoothly? like how many gbs it takes etc.
2) Has anyone got a spare cd they got by accident or what ever that they want to sell? ;d cba ordering from America but might have to
Thanks a hopefully soon-to-be-newb

DL it thats what i did pay $49.99 for the cd key set up your account and they give you access to DL servers

 

[Delrith]

I have set up a plaync account but cant find where to by the cd key

Hiya Delrith, it should be under the general info on your account.
As in, when you log in, you should see a place where it says "Online Purchased Serial Codes" and then there is link to the right of that that says "PURCHASE CODE", so just click on that and you should be given the option to buy the game.

Hey dude, come on MSN so I can ask newbie questions xD
Just started downloading it now... 5 hours download? :eek2: lol looks like a leave-the-comp-on-overnight-and-hope-it-doesnt-break thingy

Hya Del
Look me up when you get to Paragon City, I'm usually seen running around with a fat hairy pirate :s nope, he's not my sidekick...just some freak who won't leave me alone ;p
An don't forget to roll on the 'Virtue' server

 

[Delrith]

Already going on the server Victory. Joining some old guild m8s from Legion of Darkness :/

 

[Ala]

Ahh cool Have fun!

 

[Delrith]

downloaded everything and its not working (( mean installing the prog)

 

[Tharion]

So whats happening?

Hard to answer when we don't know what the matter is.

 

[Delrith]

It said theres something wrong with the download or that a virus got to it when i tried to run setup.exe etc. I deleted the coh zip file again and have just been downloading it again :/ hope it works this time. Otherwise would someone sending me the city of heros exe work?.

 

[Aada]

I had the same problem when extracting all the files? it looks like the extractor crashes but it dont..

just leave it took about 2mins for it to extract fully

 

[Delrith]

Yeah thats what happened to me :/ but also a box came up saying something about the download not being done properly etc.
<3 to all the ppl who help

Hi
nice choice coming to Victory :> maybe we can team up sumtime (recently bought game too)
Dunno why so many euros play Virtue tbh.... its US West Coast afaik.... and Victory is US East Coast. should be quite a difference in latency

Can't say I've noticed it being particularly laggy.

Depends on your connection, I guess. It has been mentioned before, in this post (relevant part quoted for your convenience) though I have never seen any figures or heard of anyone really having trouble...

I'm on also on virtue, but thats a west coast server, victory is east coast. If you have a solid connection it prob. wont matter much but theres a 100ms latency difference from west coat to east coast servers (from eu).

I found more EUs on victory, so I decided to move there, at least temporarly. Virtue has more role players though, and thats nice imo.

I've never had any lag problems (like Danya), but I've a pretty good connection (surfnet 8Mb )
Basically Belsameth bullied some into going to Virtue, no rhyme or reason to it

 

[Addlcove]

of course there is a reason, she likes bullying

I´m on a 512kbit DSL, can´t say I notice any lag either

 

[Kinzana]

virtue for strong roleplaying

good community i think

CoH Updater

Hi Khale thanks for the link...but what does it do?

 

[Ethiraseth]

Downloads the game, so all you need to do is buy an account, which you can do online through the CoH website.

 

[Delrith]

Hmm I downloaded CoH from ncplay again and it worked. Instaleld etc and now its on my start menu. I tried to go into the game and the CoH updater came on. I take it this is just like a thing installing everything they have added in patches etc or...?

 

[Sarum]

The Updater is the launcher too. You can't run the core CoH exe independently of it, as with pretty much every other MMOG, the game runs through the patcher.
