City of heroes download help!!

[lynus]

Ok i brought it online d/l it (4 hours) and it froze at 100%, i pressed enter and the d/l box vanished and it did not install!, i tried this again and same thing, now i cant ever get the damn d/l box up, please tell me if you d/l this straight from the net and what you did, this is driveing me slowly insane!

[zhardoum]

I dl'd the game np.

If for some reason you dont have it correctly, go to the COH website (www.coh.com) click on account, modify details, in the details section it shows the current status of any games you have and gives you the link to redownload the file.

However, considering its size, I suggest using some sort of DL manager program incase this happens again.

[lynus]

If you meant 'manage' and not 'modify' i did that i have been trying for the last 4 hours to get the dl started, please can someone tyr to dl the file to see if is my pc or the webpage that is down? The D/L link seems not to work!

[Ryvita]

Somebody please tell me I'm being really thick here (don't all rush at once), but where can I buy an authorisation code??? I've got the download/files, but I can only find the links to buy a boxed copy of the game. Aargh!

I need the twenty digit key of joy...

Doh! Found it... under manage/purchase, not in the shop. Good thinking Batman. Oh, hang on, that name may be copyright. Good thinking Flying-Rodent-Gent. Hmm, catchy, may have to use that...

lynus - do you have anti-virus software installed? Sometimes downloads hang for ages on 100% if they are large and being checked.

[Bowser]

I had problems starting the download, but after I turn the Windows SP2 firewall off it downloaded without a hitch. Try using a download manager like Netants to download the file.

[andyf]

[Lucifa]

ftp://client.coh.com/coh.zip

login: coh

Reverse user/pass if above doesn't work.

[DazedSean]

Hmm...the .zip file isn't working any other sources?

Edit: Found it...go to ftp://client.coh.com and then login with
User: coh
pass: client and then access it from there

[Mingtea]

I was under the impression you could not purchase an auth code?

If i can download the game and purchase the auth code does this mean i don't have to actually buy the game?

[phil]

You buy the game online to get the auth code (although playNC seem determined to sell as few as possible by making the process very unclear). First month is included in the price, then you pay $15 a month.

[Lucifa]

www.cityofheroes.com

Create a PlayNC account
Then press Account, manage and purchase.

et voila!

[Mingtea]

so that means i don't actually have to physicaly have the game i can use the downloaded version?

[bvark]

Ming, you are indeed as smart as you are lanky.
Purchasing the game allows you to download it, although the NCSoft FTP server sucked ass for me.

[Killy]

I appear to be the only one who didn't have a problem dling it :p:

[Mingtea]

It's ok i was just told "you have to import the game it's not available online anymore"

but if it is, fantastic.

Your asses are all mine.

[Zakalwe]

/me waits for the first appearance of....


The Semi

[Killy]

Ming you should of said you were interested i had a boxed version for sale about a week ago, but alas it's gone now... (well at SL anyway)

[Mingtea]

73% through download, the semi has landed.

(cheers Zak) ;)

[DazedSean]

I downloaded it with no problem whatsoever. Was d/ling at 261kbps...downloaded whole file in about 50 mins. Now I'm enjoying my level 7 controller :D

We can certainly find a space in the .BFC. supergroup for "the semi" :)

Look out for any of

Dominatrikx (Lucifa)
Gimpess (Bvark)
Son of Greeble (Psym)
Broken Man (Ryvita)
Civil Fred (Andyf) <- best backstory ever
Pierre Le Chop (Me)
Jeeebus (Me)
Really Angry (Me)
Catachan (you can guess)
Ariadne (Jammy)

when you're in do a "/t (name), hi" and we'll invite you into a team + add you to the group.

Wheeee!

[Lucifa]

Not forgetting Blue Lightning (TGuyver)

Also Zak, for your ineptness of typing my name :) You can just right click on my name in the supergroup list and invite me from there.

Lucifa

[Zakalwe]

Damn, knew I'd missed one.

And yes, Lucifa, I realise that now...

[chomp]

top info on the DL lucifa, I'd heard that this was only available now on import and that the DL had stopped.

anyway, should all be finished and ready to go by the time i get home from work tomorrow (hmm, perhaps if it's done in the morning before my train leaves I'll take a sneaky sicky!!!
