game crashing on startup.

Ok so I've been trying regularly to log into the game since they didn't give us an ETA for about 2 hours of when the servers would be back up to check.

Before this whole craptacular day I was able to log in just fine this morning and play just before the servers went down, no issue, everything was fine and dandy.

Now whenever I try to boot the game up through the updater (old school or NCsoft brand) it gives me this message:

Quote:
./piggs/texVWorld1.pigg: Bad flag on file - not a Pig file-1

Your data might be corrupt, please run the patcher and try again
So what the hell is going on?

Did that 2 meg patch end up corrupting some files?

Is anyone else having this problem?

Verified them several times.

Heck I've deleted and completely reinstalled CoH from a USB flashdrive backup.

Edit:

Ok a hard reboot of the system fixed it.

Really weird that.

Ignore for now.

Make sure you don't have a VirtualStore directory with the pigg files in it. The VirtualStore directory is in, by default: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\, usually in Program Files\City of Heroes or Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes under that.
