It's kinda odd, I'm not sure if this is correct, but here's what finally worked. Mat is correct, for some reason a copy of the updater in the new CoHTest directory doesn't quite work. You have to use the original one.

So here's what I did to fix it:

1. Rename CoHTest to CohTest. This is just easier because the default directory has a lower case "h." No other reason. I didn't even have to recopy any files. You should leave the copy of the live files that you already made in there.

2. Remove the previous short cut I'd made to CoHTest and replace it with one to "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cohupdater.exe". You can do this just by right clicking on the cohupdater.exe file in Explorer and selecting "Send To->Desktop (Create Shortcut)"

3. Now just edit the new short cut. Right click, pick Properties. Add "<space>-test" on the end of the text in the Target field. The whole thing should now read {{"C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cohupdater.exe" -test}} with out the {{ }} bits, and don't forget the space in between -test and the end of the " stuff.

4. I also deleted the cohupdater.exe from the CohTest directory before I tried it. Not sure if this is necessary.


Then start up your new CoH Test by double clicking on the new shortcut you just made. Accept the default directory "CohTest" if that's what you named it (like I did), or show it where you copied your files to. It'll do some downloading and some "fixing" but after about five minutes it should be done.

and this suggests that I might be out of disc space or trying to install where I don't have permission to.

This is after the updater starts to run, and asks me to choose a directory to install to. I did have to manually switch it from "CohTest" to "CoHTest"

Help?

1) begin by assuming/imagining the following text at the beginning of every Television post: "The screen flicks on. It shows an image of the most attractive programmer you have ever seen in your entire life. This guy is a Greek God of cool. You must either be watching some kind of reality show for impossibly gorgeous people or a documentary on one of the world's most brilliant minds (of all time)."

You can assume that part because I'm speaking in my programmer voice, and I'm pretty sure that's how people would describe me if they saw me on Television.

2) read whatever I put in my post as though it were in quotes. That's what the intimidatingly beautiful programmer on screen is saying. Try to read a little extra wit and charm into it, because I'd add those if I weren't so busy.

3) Finally, finish up with: "The programmer now turns his heart-breaking-ly beautiful gaze directly at you. Please, viewers, do not forsake your friend the Television or berate it with criticism of its role playing. Do not discriminate against the beautiful. No, you should embrace beauty by watching Television and the I17 graphics upgrade in CoV."

Note that this doesn't mean that CoV is officially supporting using these programs alongside CoV...we're just hoping that they no longer cause problems with CoV.

The Television doesn't particularly care about Heroes having these problems (or in general...who does?), so don't worry about testing blue side. Edit: Unfortunately, the fix will work equally well or poorly on both sides, though this is obviously unfortunate.

1) input lag
2) packet loss
3) 3rd party software not playing nicely with CoH.

If you are experiencing this issue on live, please try out PTS so we can figure out whether or not this will solve the problems you are experiencing.
