DI,
I had the same thing happen, so I did some poking around in my CoH folder and found a new folder titled '~PS'. I moved it elsewhere on my computer, ran the repair/consistency check, and everything seems to be functioning again. I'm guessing that the '~PS' is some kinda collection point for the updates before they're applied. I guess when our PCs crashed it screwed something up in how they report the status of CoH to the updater. Hope this helps.

My PC crashed while the launcher was updating CoH. Now down the bottom-left I get a message saying "Error during last operation. And, when I try pressing "Play Now" i get a message saying "Root element is missing".
Can someone please help me get this fixed? I wonder if it is possible to reinstall the launcher without having to download the whole game again? (I have a limited monthly download account and to start egain this early in the month might be tricky.)
thankyou
