Custom Built PC?
Spent over $1000 to build?
nVidia Driver Issues?
Dreaded Patching Crash?


Simple Fix
Tested on 3 system's that wouldn't patch
All systems using nVidia cards with most recent drivers.


1. Find Ghetto Ass Old Computer
2. Download HoN on Ghetto Ass Old Computer
3. Install HoN on GAOC
4. Start HoN and Patch on GAOC
5. Close HoN
6. Find USB Stick and insert into USB Port on GAOC
7. Navigate to Program Files on GAOC
8. Find Heroes of Newerth Directory
9. Copy Heroes of Newerth Directory to USB Stick
10. Remove USB Stick
11. Plug USB Stick into Sexy Fresh Custom PC
***REMOVE OLD HoN INSTALLS***
12. Copy Heroes of Newerth Directory to ANY Place on Hard Drive (I use my C Drive)
13. Make a shortcut onto the desktop.
14. Launch Heroes of Newerth on SFCPC.

*Note: If you ever need to patch again and it doesn't work, just patch the version on the GAOC and repeat steps 4-14 :)
Enjoy nubs. You're welcome :)

P.S. Have fun reading bad color scheme :rofl:

thanks, but this actually works despite how hard it is to read :P
long cause need to watch out for the nabs, nn 100 pm's asking how to do one of the steps.
TL;DR VERSION
1. Download + Install + Update HoN on older computer (anything with a graphics card that pre-dates 2010 (just a guess)
2. Copy HoN Folder to USB
3. Copy HoN Folder from USB to Newer Computer
4. Run HoN -- No patch needed. All game files up to date.



This only works because HoN does NOT change registry.
Once they start doing that crap, then this will no longer work.
GL :)
