Maintenance tomorrow will begin at the normal time, 7 AM PDT. There will not be a patch; best guess is that the maintenance will last 1 - 2 hours.

    Look for the new custom (insert your name here) invisible inaction figures. Inactivity so lacking you'll never know they are there.

    Well, whatever's coming next will probably hit Test next week, if they're sticking to the "one piece of content per two weeks" paradigm.

    And with the six weeks time frame this series should potentially culminate with the anniversary party.

    Because a patch downloaded when we opened the launcher.

    A file was locked that could not be open for writing - Could not rename file that could not be overwritten (F:/Steam/steamapps/common/Champions Online/Champions Online/Live/GameClient.exe)

    The most common reasons for that sort of error are:
    -The file and/or drive it is on are write protected.
    -The drive the file is on is full.
    -The file is in use (is the game running while you're trying to patch?)
    startPatch, new Fightclub:Live
    PatchClientLib: Using HTTP patching: server cohttppatch.crypticstudios.com port80 prefix Fightclub

    Should you be posting this? You DO remember the first and second rules, right?

    It shouldn't be none of these things, not running the game, plenty of space, etc. I haven't made any changes in the drive, dunno why files would suddenly be write protected or sumthing.

    The Vehicle Weapon Mods mentioned in this post are now in the Questionite store. Not sure if that was intended to be part of today's maintenance, or if anything else was included.

    Has CO crashed on you since your last reboot? A GameClient.exe process might still be hanging around in memory. Check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc).

    If you haven't already, give your computer a reboot. It's amazing how many things that fixes.

    The addition of a few weapon mods to a store doesn't qualify as a patch to me.
    Probably didn't to Turtle, either.

    It is a tiny update, that's it.

    A file was downloaded and used to modify the client. That's the very definition of a patch. I figure either the patch wasn't meant to go live today, or LordGar forgot to tell TT about it.

    Derp -- I briefly forgot about the Q-Store update, so forgot there would actually be a patch. That's the only change, though, I checked with LordGar.

    Alright so, I did the "Verify integrity of game cache" in steam, it needed to reacquire 12 files and it pretty much took like 30 minutes. Then it didn't work. Now I rebooted mah computer, and now it's downloading the whole game again. Oh MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD, I am going to cry now. Well I hope this works.

    EDIT: Sigh, 1 hour and 10 % complete. I gotta leave this open in the night or something, am gonna install Deadspace and get jumpscared into hell again.

    It gave me the same ERROR on the non-steam version of Champions Online too, but I had to go fool around in my anti-virus settings a bit then the problem was solved. :| weird, lotsa updates went fine and suddenly Champs is BAD
