Patching...


Lost Ninja

I like to run at least two copies of the game on separate machines, I do this so I can run two or more characters simultaneously. I also get my internet through a system where my bandwidth is fairly limited, what I tend to do when a new patch comes out is download the patch through the updater and then copy the whole CoH directory from one PC to the next. However in recent times I am finding more and more often that once copied the copy has errors that then require patching to remove... once a new 1Gb patch needed to be applied.

I'm hoping that there is some form of 'offline' patching method that for instance a cyber cafe could use to patch many machines rapidly, if such a system does exist does anyone know how I may access it? Even if its a case of saving the temporary file that the updater downloads prior to patching to another location.

Once you've copied the files to the second PC, update the registry on it as well.

Thats not the issue, if I try and run the copy it crashes to a debug panel. (If I copy then verify all files that's when I get errors.) The fault seems to be that the larger the copied amount of data the likelier there is to be an actual error, the game is now 2.3Gb plus and over a network I just get errors too often.

If you want to do it another way, you could burn the game to a DVD-RW I guess, or use an external hard drive or USB storage.
