Connection issues 

Recently my internet went down for a few days (reasons unknown most likely the provider) now before it went down i could connect to the game in a matter of seconds. My web service was back up on saturday and i immediately tried to connect to Villians but it would just say connecting #1 for about five minutes. I didnt pay too much attention to it but now i tried to play today and it just keeps saying connecting, right now im on connection attempt#12. This is really starting to bug me because all my other online games work fine its just Villains/heros that is acting up

Questions:
1) Is it the game or my computer?
2) What can i do to resolve this problem?

Thank you for any help in advance!

RE: Connection issues 

It could be a routing problem at the ISP or something on your PC that is a little flakey.

Try going to a command prompt, (start -> run -> cmd). Type in "IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS" at the C prompt. Exit the command prompt by typing EXIT. Try CoV/H and see if that helped. Otherwise, you might want to submit a ticket to NCSoft support, there was a similar issue to this a while back that was semi-easily fixed, I just don't remember exactly how.

RE: Connection issues 

it was with me *whines*

someone had to send me a bunch of ziped Piggs and other City of hero's Files from their system to my incompleat one then i pasted them over mine

but umm, well?, *pouts* i need that again, the computer died and now the updater is makeing me wait for like 40+ hours again, *pouts*, it's not fair I'm on cable dang it

anyways, I know one thing and no it's not really a plame or rant...NCsoft will not help you on your connection, they will only help if it is a wide and I mean really super wide downage at their servers locations, between yours and theirs is the waistland, tred safelly and bewear of bunnies

RE: Connection issues 

well, if you play CoV and CoH, then it's actually 2 games...

Is it worth it now?

RE: Connection issues 

I now quote myself.

I was going to post this earlier, but stuff happens. . .

Go  directly to CityofHeroes.exe do not pass CoHUpdater.exe do not collect 50 Connection Attempts

If you are computer literate in the least, can follow simple directions, have the current patch, and were able to play previously without issues then this Work-Around is for you!
