Running the game from a DVD-R

Game_Client#Running_the_game_from_a_DVD-R

Because I have not attempted this personally, I do not know what issues one may encounter. I wonder about Installation Directory. Can one run CityofHeroes.exe from ANY folder? Is the installdir only applicable to cohupdater.exe? What information does the game client actually pull from the registry? What if you import 'settings.reg' once and then come back with an updated client? What will happen on the login screen? Is the version stored internally or read from registry? --Konoko 13:37, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

Installation Directory is only used by COHUpdater to find the client. CityofHeroes.exe can be run from any folder. The registry pulls the authentication server, graphics settings and a few other keys from the registry. The version is stored in the registry so you have to run a settings.reg on each update (I believe). -- Leandro 20:38, 27 August 2007 (EDT)
