I have continued to have issues similar to many of those using Intel Chipsets where the game crashes on loadup, before even seeing the initial splash page, and like many of those, I have had no solution found other than to wait for a bug fix or updated driver (having the most updated version I am able to obtain).

With the recent patch to the game on 5/12/10 I decided to give it another go. I still crash, but now with a different pop up:

cityofheroes.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.

No, I do not have the disk. Online client download.
Yes, I have restarted the computer since the new update.
Yes, I have reinstalled the game.
Yes, I looked over the forums for similar issues first.

Has anyone seen anything similar to this?

I forget what the command line was, but have you tried launching directly from cityofheroes.exe?

Wait, found it -

Quote:
Send a shortcut of the "CityofHeroes.exe" file in the game directory to the desktop. Right click the shortcut and change the Target by adding [SPACE]-project coh at the end of the line.
Short term solution, just to see if that works.

(I'd also head to the website and fire off an email to NCSoft support. Yes, they'll ask you to reinstall and such, they've got a process to go through. When you DID reinstall, did you uninstall and delete the directory first?)
