I think we understand that, the issue at hand.. is despit getting to the server selection screen.. we get a message and CANNOT actually log in to play...

I patched up, applied them, and now I can't log in, receiving the same message as the above-stated.

I closed and verified, and I still can't log in.




Thank you, Champion.

same problem here, i can log in fine (no patch applied or downloaded) but the servers all say unavailable when i try to connect....... some genius didn't fully test this patch to the servers.


Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.

screw your joke, i want "FREEM"

Anyone else getting this message right now? Server status shows they are all up and running.
I'm getting this for Virtue now. I don't think I've ever seen that message or this kind of situation before.

the problem doesn't reside on the target server, it resides on the logon/patch server. some folks are getting on fine, but they also had a patch pushed to them when they logged in, alot of us have not, that is the issue. without the patch, the target servers will not let us in.

i love this game, i love our devs, but as an IT professional myself, an 11th hour emergency patch on a saturday requires more diligence then this, poorly played devs, poorly played

but since this is a 3 strike game (cuz i said so) and in my book, this is really your first strike in 4+ years, no ragequit here, JUST FIX THE DURNED THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but I was just giving out information; no need to lecture the messenger.

My issue is that I did receive the patch, I patched, and I am still unable to log in.




Thank you, Champion.

Yes, I just tried signing in to Freedom Server at 2:24 MST and got this message. What the heck is going on?!?!!?

I have now received and applied another patch, and am able to log in.




Thank you, Champion.

Silly question. How does one force a patch as I also cannot sign in? I did the "verify all files" thingy but will need that patch in order to get on the servers.

Not a silly question... I don't know that there IS a way to force a patch. As soon as someone said patch notes were up, I opened my client, and a patch applied. I was unable to log in. I had to restart my client multiple times, since 3:00 EST. Eventually, another patch came and applied. It said it was 3.8GB, but it patched and applied in about 3 minutes.

I believe I patched three times (since 3:00), before being able to log in.




Thank you, Champion.

Still nothing. Hey support guys, just a quick FYI on this. I checked to see if there was any news on it, no posts and no updates (can we get an "Emergency Update" forum or article list, I know most of them won't be noticed and such, but when it's like this we would like to get a little bit of an FYI, even if it's just "The game is down, we tried something out and it didn't work, we will have it up ASAP" that is something we want! C'mon with that customer service!


Another FYI, the support page at http://help.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/ncsof...p?p_faqid=4808 is wrong. Both of the links don't work (for the server status and the forums) So if you could fix those that would rock.

I logged in (Freedom) just fine. I saw this thread before I tried, so I watched for a patch, but it went by lightning-fast. It must have been a very minor update. Either way, it seems to be working. For those still having issues, maybe try rebooting and trying again? I dunno.

It's 7:46 pm EST and I tried logging onto Infinity server. This is the message I got:
"No response from this server. Try a different server, or try playing this one later."

I tried every server and got the same message.

Yet, on the sign on page, it looks as though the servers are up.

I'm also having this problem. Anyone have a solution yet?

Got the same message you guys did ... but here's the twist. Tried logging in to DC Online and the same thing happens. You get the the character selection screen ... but all the Worlds (servers) are down.

Coincidence or conspiracy? Hmmmmmm. ; )

I was getting this also after a 2nd patch was downloaded and updated on my machine. Restarting the game didn't help. I rebooted and then a patch was downloaded and updated for a 3rd time. After this, I was able to finally log onto the game fine.

How to fix the 'No response from server' problem:
(This is for XP, Vista and 7 are similar, but call the CMD box something else)
Exit COX
Using Windows Explorer or hard disk browse, go to where your COX program is installed (like C:\Program Files\City of Heroes)
In the City of Heroes folder, find two files: one ends in PRV and one ends in CHECKSUM
Delete them
At Start, click Run. IN the box, type CMD
The Command Prompt black screen appears. In the command window, type :
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS <--- notice the space before /

After it runs, type EXIT in the command window and the black screen goes away.
Restart COX
It will checksum and then fix the broken files
It will verify
And then you can log in
