Yeah, theres a massive amount of nerdrage occuring on the forums right now.

Can't say I blame them tbh. I mean come on, is it me, or is it just bonkers that Cryptic have continued patcher/launch problems EVERY beta phase?


i just dont understand why the fileplanet file was a 2month old one ;) thats just plain stupid.

So everyone is getting 'Server down' - 'No shards found' after running the game and logging in? Or am I doing something wrong.

you are correct, to me its a minor annoyance to others, who treat betas as free playtime it seems there rights are being violated.

If they want violated ive got a big heavy wooden object that has the name of their ass on it :D

What gets me is not the downtime or the slowness of the patcher, because as you say, its a beta, but the fact that it happens every time the servers come up. Do they not have the knowledge/resources to fix these issues?

im guessing its financial reasons that they are too stingy to pay for more bandwidth probs only started when they gave away 10k keys in some online mag ;)

Assuming there's a massive amount of people hitting the servers at once, there's not much you can do even if you have loads of capacity. Other than phase the activation of the game clients.

Everyone gets their hopes up on playing on the 17th. People get upset when they don't get to play. Can't blame them tbh, even if it is a beta.

just because the servers down doesnt mean they cant fix it, they could be testing various scenarios its a beta....

just remind yourslef its a slightly better version of coh and just another step down the all mmos must copy wow route barely worth visiting....

got to say massively dissapointed when i logged on and it was exactly the same street / talk to cop / go to computer that was in the start of coh, dont see this one lasting long less chance than conan or lotro tbh.

I''m with Gunnar these days all MMOs have got less and less interesting and are just inferior wow lite, may as well play wow or not bother til SWTOR.

so I'm MMO free till SWTOR unless some company actually bothers to try shock horror something DIFFERENT to wow.

We're working on a resolution to this now, but the workaround we have is as follows:

   1. Delete everything inside the Program Files/Cryptic Studios/Champions Online/Live/prepatch/piggs folder.
   2. Move all the *.hogg files from Program Files/Cryptic Studios/Champions Online/Live to Program Files/Cryptic Studios/Champions Online/Live/prepatch/piggs
   3. Restart your patcher
