I have done everything that has been listed in this thread and it hasn't worked.
After receiving the most recent patch, the game stuck at the "Loading..." bar and didn't even bring up the game.
I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the default from my CDs and I started the game, bypassing the CoH Updater, and voila... it went passed the "Loading..." bar and into the Login screen. When I attempted to log in, it said that there was a wrong protocol and to get the most recent version of the game.
I downloaded the patch again and updated.
And it's stuck at the "Loading..." bar again.
This isn't a ports issue. This isn't a driver issue. I have everything updated. I have absolutely nothing other than primary system functions running in the background. If I can get to the login screen with the default game, but I can't even get past the "Loading..." bar with the recent update, then there is something involved with the most recent patch or two that is causing this to occur.
