Locked out of Champion

Tried Freedom and justice so far and they work fine. However when i try champion i get this:

????

Problem persists and its just champion.
Correction trying to log in a freedom toon crashes the game. justice works for now

Found a freedom toon that doesnt crsh the game. Still locked out of champion. Nothing from support yet

This is happening to me now with the new patch or whatever is happening today (Saturday), presumably with fixes to the Winter Event? Sometimes I get that message trying to get in to the server list, other times I can't get in to Victory or Champion.

And whenever I try to open City of Heroes again, it seems to re-DL a patch and apply it. Every time. Anyone know what the heck is going on?

I am getting the same error when I try to select Champion server as well. Tried a couple of other servers and they also return the same error message.

Update: I tried the following and it appears to have helped. Once I used the ipconfig /flushdns the patch ran again (3rd time the game has patched itself today) and now I am able to select Champion server.

Go to your Start menu and type “cmd” (without the quotes) in the Run box to start the command prompt.
Type “ipconfig /flushdns” (again, no quotes) at the prompt and press return.
Close the window.

Well, weird. I kept having the issue, and figured I would reverify the files, and now things work for me. Not sure why that didn't work for others, though.

I'm locked out too after a patch, tried to restart game and am now currently downloading another patch...

I logged in fine when the servers went up after the patch. I D/C'd about a 30mins ago, restarted my comp, restarted CoH, D/L patch again (I thought maybe my previous D/C was on CoH's part and 2nd needed patch). Logged in and I got the same message as you all. I did the ipconfig /flushdns and I'm waiting on it applying now. I think I may also verify files before logging in.

I am having the same issue. I can't access Virtue or Pinnacle. When I restart the game it goes to apply a patch. Currently this is the third time today it has applied a patch.

Had it verify all files and now it seems to work.

It's not even redoing the patch for me. Heck, not DLing a patch to begin with. Any way to force that? It says I'm up do date still after the resub and patching on Thursday.
