City of Heroes

NVIDIA users may find that the patcher crashes when finished. Simply try to enter the game again.

If the patcher crashes continuously try renaming: CohUpdater.new to CohUpdater.exe

If the updater crashes on geom.pigg (typically accompanied with a message about 'Debug assertion failed!' that references Allocate.cpp line 108), you need to increase your default TCP send window size. To do this issue the following commands at a terminal as root: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem you should see three numbers. The middle number needs to be doubled (or otherwise increased) to at least 32768. To do this you can echo 4096 32768 131072 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem where the first and last numbers are the same as the values reported by the first command. Users may have to even triple or quadruple the middle number to get past this error.

Some users may experience an assertion error during the patcher. This error can be ignored.
