Help with logging on?

At what point are you having trouble connecting? Is it in the Updater? The login screen? The server selection screen? Or the character selection screen?
There's been a number of threads about having trouble connecting with the Updater recently, so it might be a problem with an up-stream ISP between NC and some of the playerbase.

I'm having the same problem. I don't play that often anymore and my sub runs out this week. Tonight I was going to play and make my decision about paying for another month.
I think the game is giving me the answer! :P

You can bypass the updater by running one of the following commands (assuming default installation location:
32bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh
64bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh
OS X: /Applications/City\ of\ Heroes.app/Contents/MacOS/cider --use-dos-cwd c:/coh -- c:/coh/cityofheroes.exe -project coh

Yes, yes. I saw that. Thank you. I understand and understood.
I was joking about the game not wanting me to re-sub.

Actually, the game just emailed me, and said it actually would prefer you didn't resub... something about furries and 'mature RP'...

'You can't run this program directly, please run CohUpdater instead.'
The game is working at random sometimes. Other times I'm just stuck on Connecting #1.. #2... and so on.

You need to include the full command. The -project coh at the end is important, as it tells cityofheroes.exe which game to run (without it, it'll give that error).

The game just randomly won't start connecting for me. I ran CoH Helper and got this but I don't know what I'm looking for. Does anyone see something wrong?
