What does the updater say?
There hasn't been a patch for a little while (have there even been ANY this month?), so unless you haven't played in a longer time than that, there's nothing that should have tripped a patching process.

I just started playing a few days ago. This came up about 10 minutes ago when I tried to play.
Coh will be installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes. Select NO to choose a different folder.
I click yes.
Then get:
Error Opening C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe
You may be out of disk space or you may be trying to install to a location where you have insufficient permissions.

I get this even in Admin mode. And I have tons of spare memory.
It also starts updating with 14.6 M/sec and 4:39 remaining and 1.8M/0B downloaded.
OK WTF!!!! It thinks I have deleted the game! And is trying to download it. I did not erase anything from this game!
(I did just delete Champions Online, but I would hope that would not affect CoH).
Known issue, well, not really an issue, but a known problem.
IIRC, you need to copy the CoHUpdater.exe to the Desktop and run it from there. Not a shortcut to the CoHUpdater.exe file, copy the actual file and double-click that.
Here's what's happening, again, IIRC. It is trying to update itself and other files in the game folder, but since you are using that instance of the file to launch the game it is in use and can't be updated. Making a copy on the desktop gets around this.
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.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Ok, wish I knew that. That is a really weird bug, that should have been killed as soon as it was found, though.
I tried logging into the game, and the patcher kicked in. But it refuses to open the CoHUpdater.exe file, even when I open it as an admin. This is on Vista 64.
