Is something wrong with the updater? I launched it and after few seconds it says "downloading file manifest" but there are no progress bar and the speed is at 0kb/s. My connection is fine, as i am able to post this reply. Does anybody has this kind of problem?

Just had the same thing. After a while the updater started fixing files, then verifying. After that I got in to game just fine.
My main toons on Union:
Majer; Dark/Dark Corruptor
Caitlin Calathea; Plant/Thorns Dominator
Davallia Fejeensis; Empathy/Archery Defender
My arc:
ID 98789, What once was, will be again.
Bear in mind that THIS hit the updater today. It's only small, but it would require a file verification.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Ah finaly it started. After a 30 min wait.
Is anyone else getting the downloading file manifest problem? I've got it on two PC's (Mine and My GF's).. Been on that screen for quite a while. Happened yesterday as well but not for as long.. Any suggestions?
Oh, yes, I AM! I just put in in here as another thread....

I'm getting a problem now where my copy of CoX might be unplayable on my PC. And it works fine on my laptop.
I'm assuming it came shortly after i13;
FATAL ERROR
File: bin/clientmessages-en.bin
Last Author/Status: Source control not available
Could not load bin/clientmessages-en.bin
Really worried me when it came up. never seen anything like it. Any advise? =/

If it's the error I think it is, it's caused by corrupted datetime information on your City of Heroes game folder. Check your folder properties and see if the datetime is messed up.
Assuming it is, the easiest way to fix it is to rename your folder, make a new and empty folder names as the old one and then move all the files and sub folders from the old folder into the new one.
Alternatively, track down a utility which can change the datetime of files and folders.

FTW. Thanks, mate.
I seem to be having this same problem but with the Mac Beta client. I've contacted support but so far they haven't offered a solution. Any ideas?

This is exactly the problem I have on 2 computers, the checksum goes through, but it keeps downloading the .exe file and file manifest, over and over, never finishes.
This can happen if the file manifest gets corrupted. Simplest solution is to delete the manifest file and try again - the updater will recreate the manifest and then check against it. Typically you will only need to download a few hundred bytes of data.

Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr
and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
Yeah I delete all the files in the root, keeping PIGGS, cider and doublefusion catalogs. It does the checksum and then downloads the file manifest (so it says), then it stops for a sec and goes back to fixing file(s): CityOfHeroes.exe and downloading the file manifest again, and repeat, never going any further. All you can do is quit or shut the updater down. Atleast the checksuming part seems to be fixed/working. A little step forward.

Shard (Union) has a green light on the server list in my launcher.
When I click on it, the program does not respond. Tried 3 times, had to kill the process in task manager.
Was working okay before.
edit:
Now I got a **Lost connection to dbserver** message.
Then tried again and got to my characters ... weird
I'm having trouble with logging into the game as well. It loads up fine after updating, shows me the server selection screen after logging in, then freezes up when I choose/click a server and eventually gives me a 'Can't connect to DBserver' prompt. Anyone have any advice?
I have been unable to log into City of Heroes for the past week.
I get as far as the server selection screen,but as soon as I select any server it come back saying "Can't connect to the DBserver".
I have been connecting to the US Servers from the UK, using the US software for the past 4 years without issue, and ever since the last patch this has just stopped working.
This is done from multiple computer, running either XP SP2 or Vista 32bit, same problem.
On the verge of cancelling account
Have you filed a support ticket on the PlayNC website? If they don't know there is a problem, they can't work on getting it fixed.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I've been having similar problems;expect when I log in,I can log in perfectly...when I select a server it pauses for a bit than knocks me back to the login with a small window saying "can not connect to DBserver"--I've tried restarting multiple times,restarting my computer,and reInstalling CoH/CoV which took atleast 15 hours..and still the same problem.
If anybody could provide a answer that would be wonderful;cause I just practically wasted $14.99 on a game I cant even play anymore.
Try looking at the post just before yours. It gives instructions of what to do.

im having the same DBserver problem on the EU servers which sucks cos i just reactivared my account and got the martial arts booster about 5 hours ago
I'm having the same problem.
Log in, select server, it sticks for about 30 sec, and then gives me "Cannot Connect to DBserver".
Support contact, Net-tool run, info attached.
Fingers crossed.
EDIT: FIXED!
Went into Avira Firewall settings, set City of Heroes as "Privileged" and "Allowed", not "Filtered" and "Ask".
www.paragonwiki.com is a great source of information for this game.

I have been troubleshooting now for an hour or two. I cant get past the updater Screen. This also happened last night, So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. That helped it and I logged on this morning. Well this evening I tried to get on and it wont let me past the Updater screen again. I have no idea why it would do this. Any help out there???
I'm also having problems with downloading the test server. LOL my stuff is DLing at like 12k/sec........... Weird because I have a 20 MB/s internet connection?? I'm confused why the test is downloading so slow. Could it be because so many people are downloading it atm? Before I had to reboot my pc I was DLing at like 500k a sec (still not top speed, but alot better than it's doing now). Any suggestions?
Thanks
thank you
