They said February. Which starts in a week and goes on for 28 days.
Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
Well we knew about the game patch, since they told us yesterday. The whole 19.5 pre-patch is pretty nifty, though.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Highly doubt it is i19.5, though if it is then i might have to tell the misses that im having a VERY early night 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

There's no scheduled "extended maintenance" and/or testing...so I wouldn't worry about it. That and the whole "coming in February" thing.

Because of what this thread is about? Because of the patch that was announced yesterday, and was previewed on the Training Room?|

Maybe I misunderstood your question.

A) I've read that Issue 19.5 (a.k.a. Strike Pack) is going live in "early" February. I think it's safe to assume that could be anywhere from February 1st to the 15th.
B) Historically whenever the Devs release a "pre-download" it pretty much always means the next big Patch/Issue it applies to goes live roughly 2-3 weeks later.
These two data points seem to match up with each other fairly nicely. Based on the Devs' tendency to release things on Tuesdays I would expect the Strike Pack to happen on either February 1st, 8th or the 15th.

Consider also that devs typically want to put a patch on the test server for a week or so, to see what shakes out.|

I think todays patch, which has been on test for a while now, was pushed live to make room on test for 19.5 patch.
The 44Mb size does imply some art assets. Probably animal pack, which means it is now too late to make suggestions regarding the packs contents. Letting us know of upcoming content after it is developed - too late for major player-suggested changes - is a common pattern for this game and one that upsets me.
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.

I've fully logged in and out twice (ran up and down the streets for good measure), and no pre-patch. I double-checked my City folder, and there is no MajorPatch file sitting in it, either.
Anyone else?

Issue 19.5.5.
did you use the cohupdater to load the game or did you bypass the updater and use cityofheroes.exe to load the game? If you bypass the updater you won't get a pre-download when logging out of the game.

I used the updater. Whatever it was didn't take. I'm sure it will later on. When I want to turn my computer off.
