Disclaimers:
1) I don't have a mac, but I use Cedega on Linux which is about the same as Cider on a Mac...
2) I'm still at work, and I haven't been able to see if my Linux set up works or not...

I found a possible fix for the Mac on the French forums:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=211250

If you can't read French (and French gaming jargon at that... ), here is my own translation:

Quote:
Right-click on "City of Heroes" in your Application folder and choose "Display content of folder".

You will find a folder called "Contents" (containing the game's data files).

Go there: /contents/resources/transgaming/c_drive/coh/

You will find those files: "CohUpdater.EU.exe" et "CohUpdater.EU.prv".

Right click on "CohUpdater.EU.exe" and choose "copy", and then choose "paste".

You will then have a file called "CohUpdater.EU-copy.exe" that you must rename as "CohUpdater.exe".

Keep the old "CohUpdater.EU.exe" in the same folder for now.

All you need to do is launch the game via your usual shortcut in the Application folder, and wait. After a full verification of the game files, the game will start as before (should take 2-3 minutes for the verification).
Good luck !
