yes i baught the game Vanguard saga of heroes,  sometime ago and have never been able to play the game , I thought that my old computer was not good enough ??   but thats not the case obviously now !  with my new on it more than enough , So i have installed both cds. and it went through the updates  etc..

when the update finished  it just does not do anything , not even an error message  i followed the prompts and turned of my avast antivirous , though i did get a message that widows firewall was trying to stop instalation but i thought i just closed the window and it went on instaling the game .. i tried everything that i know and it wont install....... please help ??

Yes i tried to run as admin,  but it  doesn't change anything , It fully installed and did the updates and everything  .

i havent tried downloading it from the net , but i will give that a go .. !!   everytime i try to launch it , well it goes through an update 

that goes for about 3 secs , and it stops < nothing , i even tried right clickuing , programs and file location and tried to lauch it from the application , it does the same thing 3 sec update and then nothing , i tried using  both -cds, ( 1n and 2 ) and it didnt work   i wonder if the cds are damaged ?? 

It may be updateing and may just not be showing the updateing. Let it run for awhile if not call sony tech support.

yes i thought that too, but initialy when i installed it . well it went through the motion and took a long time to update .

so  yes  i have a short cut for the game on my desk top , so every time i try to lauch it  now it takes only 3 secs and then nothing ..   I thought like you ? that it might be loading  behind the scene ??  well i waited for a long time and nothing..

thanks though ...  when it did the update initially i could see  the progress screen  for  the update there is no misstake about that , but i will try again even now  cheers ...

does anyone know where i can down load the game  ,, Vanguard   SOH , as u all know i have the cds allready and it doesbt work , so i need to install it online  without having to purchase it again  !    though to be honest i should just  pay for it again and save all the head ackes   how much would it be anyhow ??  ha ha its just the not knowing why that gets me  .. I dont even thinks its $ 20. am i right ?? hmmm  lol  thanks to everyone that tried to help me , u guys are great  even through all my speling mistakes and all . amd there were lots of them     !!!!!!      ha ha    cheers

click play for free follow the promts, if this does not work check task manager and make sure there are not pieces of the other install stil floating around .  Vangaurd is known for its memory leaks and leaving itself running even when it is not suposed to. 

Im having the same issue. I still have my disks from 07, decided to give the game another go. Everything went smooth until I launched it from desktop. I ran it as admin and nothing. The station box pops, loads graphics, etc then it just disappears and nothing happens.

consider this an act of the gaming gods saving you from the shitstorm experience of Vanguard SUCK. move along and be happy. trust me.

ok dont... download it and experience the Suck for yourself.

Vanguard is an amazing game! Do not let people dissuade you! If you want a challenging and oldschool feeling game with huge maps and cram packed challenging mobs. Get er done. If you bought vanguard just go into your account and when you see the games you own on it there should be a download link there. Don't use your discs from 07.

Hope you guys get it all working! I don't even play the game and I only did for a month. I can tell you one thing though. Make friends! Game can be super challenging if you challenge yourself in it!

You all need the new launcher. Just download he f2p version and you are set.
