Can't comment on how to solve the problem but in the meantime cmd-enter will put your game into windowed mode and that may be a temporary workaround. It doesn't work during loading screens however. So catch it while the screen is still black or you'll have to wait for the load to finish. Some players find that CoH is more stable overall run in this mode.

Hi,
Know it's been a while so this may no longer apply to anyone but in case it does...
Apparently the new launcher does not like being run on multiple desktops no matter how you have your permissions set.
What Yinepuhotep and I did was the following:
Download a new copy of the launcher from http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/my_acc..._of_heroes.php
Install a copy to each player's personal application folder. So your path should look like "/Users/Silewyn/Applications" where Silewyn is the name of the user.
Make sure you run your personal copy of the launcher. I ran mine and then set it to stay in my dock to avoid confusion.
The new copy of the Launcher should then update itself and your copy of CoH. Don't worry, you won't end up with multiple copies of CoH, at least we didn't.
Now, this solved our Launcher problems but that's all it solved. It isn't a panacea but it couldn't be.

Hi
Starting a thread specifically for this error.

For a few weeks I haven't been able to connect to launcher.ncsoft.com. Until now that hasn't been a problem.
Today, 9/12, the Launcher informs me that there is an update.
If I choose 'Yes' the launcher seems to quit and then reopen, tells me it can't connect to launcher.ncsoft.com and then quits without notice.
If I choose 'No' and then 'Play Now' the launcher tries to download
cider-COHR-Updater-006998.tgz
and gives me the following error almost immediately:
Download failed! Error - The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.) (null)
I'm running OSX 10.6.8
I downloaded a new copy of the launcher from the CoH website but have not installed it as Finder informs me that my current copy is newer than the one I downloaded.
Problem still exists at 10 PM EST.
TIA,
Silewyn

I'm having a similar or the same problem as Casual_Player only mine hasn't resolved itself.
For a few weeks now I've been getting an error when I start it that it is unable to connect to launcher.ncsoft.com. Up until now that hasn't been a problem.
Today the Launcher wants to update. I say 'Yes' and it restarts giving me that error again and then quitting.
If I try to play CoH I get the following error apparently while downloading a new version of cider:
Download failed! Error - The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.) (null)
I'm running OSX 10.6.8
Ideas?

Thanks for the tip about putting the game into windowed mode while the screen is black.
It works beautifully

Thank you, That does seem to work. The sound is oddly distorted so I'm not sure how long it will work but it is better than nothing I suppose
I may just have to get off my butt and get a standard headset even tho I'm always killing the cords.

Thanks, I really appreciate this.

Hi,
I have a MBP running Snow Leopard and a wireless USB headset that I use for vent. My computer is set to use my headset for input, output, and system, SoundSource confirms this.
However, CoX stubbornly refuses to play game audio through the headset. Everything else works just fine: iTunes, vent, system sounds, etc. I have Going Rogue. I have tried changing CoH to "Performance" audio from "compatibility." And I have tried turing off 3D sound. Nothing has worked.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I know this is a bit late but I want to say that timestamps on SG and Coalition in addition to on Tells would be very helpful for the same reasons.
Thanks,
Silewyn
