The merge *is* happening, there have just been a few delays that keep pushing this back at the last moment every time.

If you go to https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ And you see a section for "Your Homecoming account", then you're good to go.

We have not merged into Homecoming yet, there is no date set at this time

That isn't going to be an issue, Victory will be a 6th shard on the Homecoming server select list.

I'm not sure what instructions you are referring to, or what you mean by "Seeing characters". If you mean the email from "Closed Beta" that's not us, and their server merge is a different thing from ours.

This was related to this: And should already be resolved by the restart I preformed this morning. If you're still having issues let me know, but in my testing everything is working fine.

This should be fixed by the server restart I just did. Verified I can enter missions and new maps with no problem.

Global emails should transfer over with no issue. Currently Character Items migrate, but not Account Items. The migration code is still being written though so don't worry about claiming account items just yet.

If the connection to the server doesn't succeed the config isn't read, I need to fix that but the root issue is you're not getting the bootstrap.xml from the server, so the launcher stops all processing.

This means that something is blocking the connection out to this website from the Launcher. Usually that's some Anti-Virus, or FIrewall. I've only been able to reproduce this by breaking the network connection of the launcher as it's loading.

Hello everyone - The Spring Fling event is now live!

The wiki has a comprehensive breakdown of what's on offer.

Apologies, the account creation and how to play pages got disabled in a forum software upgrade, and then by a number of errors. I believe I have fixed everything and it should be good to go again!

You have a forum and game account created on the Homecoming side? https://forums.homecomingservers.com/gameaccount/

This should be fixed now. Forum upgrade disabled the module this was hooked in. Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know!

Hello, with the recent announcement that Homecoming has been granted a License to operate their City of Heroes™ Servers, we have been invited to merge Victory in as a 6th shard along their existing shards. You will need to opt in to the transfer of your City of Heroes™ data to Homecoming, if you do not link your Victory account to Homecoming, your data will not be transferred, and you will lose your Characters and Supergroups. If you do not already have a Homecoming account you will need to create both a Forum account AND Game account here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/getting-started/, and then head to our Account panel https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ and link the accounts. There is no ETA currently for the merge, but it will be happening in the near future. When our server is merged into Homecoiming, you will keep your characters, their inventory, character descriptions and any Supergroup bases your characters own. Your global handle may end up changed if it conflicts with an existing global handle in use on Homecoming. Auction house data may or may not come across, and Architect Entertainment (Mission Architect) arcs will NOT transfer, if you wish to bring your MA Arcs across please make sure you save the arcs and custom critters and re-publish them after the merge.

Hello all! We are aware the server is having issues and users are unable to connect. I am investigating the issue now and hope to have this resolved ASAP.

Once you hit Apply, you have to click the impossibly tiny X button on the corner of the settings dialog, or close the window via Menu -> Options. If you click "Cancel" even after having clicked Apply it undoes your changes.

There is a link on the Forum index "Game Account", links to https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ Use that page.

No, there is no graphics overhaul mod for the game.

I think I helped you in Discord too? For future reference In the Launcher System -> Verify

The only time the launcher should download any files, is if the version number server side doesn't match the version number cached locally on the launcher's side, and even then it shouldn't re-download everything, unless all of the files don't match the hashes from the server. There are no settings on the launcher that would cause this, other than the config.json file not being present. The Website downtime yesterday was due to the core switch that the webserver and gameserver are connected to having power issues, those should be resolved now.

You can only have a single game account linked to a single forum account. The Game Account page I linked in your other thread will allow you to either make an account, or change the password for your current game account. That password is not shared with your forum account, the two systems are 100% separate from each other. I see you already have a game account created that is tied to this forum account, so all you need to do is go to the Game Account page: https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ The "Account Name" there is what you use @ the login screen in game, the password set there is also only for the game. If you want a second game account, you need to sign up for a second forum account, game account names are unchangeable after they are created.

You just posted this exact same question, which I have already answered:

Use the "Account Tools" drop down in the header, or the "Game Account" section under the Game Tools section in the forums, or the "Account" button in the top tool bar in the launcher. Or just click this: https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/

Open the launcher, click system, then verify, it should find any files with issues.
