Okay. Always willing to play by the rules and support the company. I clicked this thing and ran through a lengthy process of download, configuring, checking for updates, adding COH, adding COH Test, and then deleting my old shortcuts.

What do you know, it worked! It loads them okay, first try.

It's MONSTROUSLY SLOWER than the old method, of course, on the order of one or more minutes longer to get into the game. But what does MY time matter?

My current working theory is that the new 'security' annoyance locking everyone out of their NC master accounts is actual a feature designed to prevent people from cancelling their subs because they're so hacked off with the broken new launcher.

Any word on how to open more than one client? My two accounts require this

So, was the coder who made this launcher right out of college, and this is his first real program? It sure acts like it.

Mine says my game is now playable after I installed the new .exe file linked in the OP. It ran and updated my launcher which updated my game. Now my game will not open at all.. I click Play now and...nothing happens.. now I have it rechecking my configuration which it's basically redownloading the entire game. Let you know how that works out in a bit. FPARN! and.. Tex did you write this? If so I feel bad for all the negative comments that have been posted. In our defense we've been playing this for 7 years and now we have this new feature which makes it so we can't play at all. We are addicted and going thru withdrawal.... please ignore the things we say in anger.

From the "File" options select "Settings". Select the "Advanced" tab and select the "Allow multiple instances of a game to be launched" box.

You may have to restart the launcher to have your changes take effect.

I get the following message when trying to run CoH through the launcher:

City of Heroes encountered an error last time it tried to perform an operation

Could find authentication data online or locally
The patching server might be down.
We are sorry for the inconvenience, please try again later!


Cannot get it to work under any of the above mentioned methods, the repair option says City of Hereos currently unable to repair itself. You may be able to repair later by clicking on the game and selecting repair.

this is the log:

Its true GG.

Emotions are rampant here.

I really feel sorry for Tex. And the others too. I am right now one of the most vocal on complaining here, but most because I am angry about loosing my chance to release some stress lashing at invading praetorians. I had an Apex schedulled for tonight, and now i missed it.
Because i trusted that the launcher would be good.

You may have to restart the launcher to have your changes take effect.
Yeah! Thanks!

Same here, if it uses any peer to peer packets then they will be blocked by my ISP.

I realize some people are having very frustrating experiences, but for me it worked well the first time. Even though some installations are in program files and some in program files(x86) it still found them and everything worked without a hitch.

Whatever the other issues, this seems a lot better than the previous launcher. I like having more control and I can't wait to see how the distributed download assists with speed.

So, NCSoft decides to make the CoH/CoV game extremely difficult to log in to. Considering that the game population took a huge hit due to the new well esstablished comic super hero MMO that isnt allowed to be named on the message boards. I'm not trying to be a doomsayer or anything here. But why make it even more difficult for people to play this game ? ... I mean it would be one thing to have the already established patcher upgrade itself in a patch as standard log in protocall,... but why make the entire game population have to go through some other new process to download a new patcher that appearantly doesn't even work correctly? Why make the game so hard to just enter to play ? Will there be a new retail box on the store shelves , since this whole new process will make the current ones obsolete and unplayable ? It all just seems that it's going to push more people away.

Ok after all my above post and running the status update/fix thing my game finally launches. Yay. Sorry there's been so many angry posts Tex.

I clicked on the link in Q#2 and downloaded the file and try to run it. It pretty much destroyed my ability to play. The old shortcuts didn't work, and the file downloaded didn't run at all, and there was no new program installed anywhere...

I had to download the launcher that Zombie Man provided and downloaded the whole new installers. That seemed to work.

Not to dismiss the serious problems some people seem to be having with this, but I'm a big fan of the new launcher for one very specific reason: clicking on links now opens them up in your default web browser, instead of firing up Internet Explorer every time. That's been bugging me for years!
