Bigger box!
Just picked up a copy of this awesome game and patched it to 1.71.
When I try to go online it tells me that i need a 1709.01mb patch!!!!!:eek:

That's obviously not the case but I can't find any way round it. Anyone had this problem or got any suggestions?

Cheers :)
 
It quite obviously is the case I'm sorry to say. No way round it, patch it or you don't get to play.

I've patched the game from retail up to version 1.71, I've checked the website and 1.71 is the latest and highest patch. surely there can't be a secret nearly 2 gig patch out there that you need to play online, that doesn't make any sense!?!?!?!
 
It's so you can play against people with the expansion, even if you don't want to. Doesn't make sense to me either but it is what it is.
 
good luck with it to, i got this game a few weeks ago now and im still trying to patch it successfully as its VERY buggy, although i had the gold version so its only the last 4 patched not the 1.7gb one.
if you get it going then its a great game offline so id assume it would be even better online

Ahhh!! That explains it! I'd best get downloading then!!
Cheers all for the advise and I might even see some of you online if I can get the bugger to work!!! :)
 
Right,

Spent hours trawling around the net, different search engines, different games and patch sites etc and had a nightmare!!

After installing the 1.77 gig patch you cannot play CoH without logging onto relic online first?!?! But before you do that you need to patch further (as mentioned above) but it's near impossible to find the right patches anywhere!!

So basically the 1.77 gig patch kills your game unless you have all the further patches!!!!

I finally found a link with ALL PATCHES and I'm posting it here incase anyone is having similar problems and stumbles across this thread when trying to fix em :(

job done :)
 
I was going to fire up some CoH online after I formatted but the numerous patches was putting me off slightly. Thank you very much for the link :)

Other than the time factor I've never had any issues letting CoH patch itself.

If it works then great!
Never worked for me :( It always gives me the option to auto patch but then doesn't download anything. After a few minutes I get a message to try again later.....

After knocking around on the net it seems there are numerous problems with patching, mainly auto patching and the only sure way to do it is to manually download.
 
Yeah the patch system with coh has always been a bit dodgy... specially if you are starting a fresh

One thing to remember if you format is all of the patches are saved in you mydocuments, so its definitely one to back up for next time
 
its easier and usually cheaper to buy the gold pack with Opposing Forces included. If u install that u dont need thr 1.7Gb patch, just about 8 smaller incremental ones.

but ive added you to my msn to see if u want a game!
