Which in turn changes how the launcher treats all games not just CoHBeta, it's an EU affecting NCLauncher bug.

It will let CoHBeta work, under US T&C (due to changing the launcher) but every other game you launch by it gets the same US T&C.|

I don't yet know what effect it will have on NCSoft games other than CoH...
As they want us on the Beta Server to help test the new iTrial, it should be on their FIX list, alongside the Character Copy Tool!

We've forwarded this bug along to the proper folks all, however for now you'll probably have to use the work around to access the Beta server. (I'm no coder, but I can't guarantee they'll point the patcher towards the proper ip in time for tomorrow night.)

Why is it that every time it displays that the test servers are up, I'm unable to access them in any way shape or form? *sadface sobbing*
You should now able to connect to Beta if you select Europe or North America as your region.

Meanwhile they have set Beta to give a level 50 boost to new characters.

Just tried and this appears to be a no-go as the NC Soft Launcher still refuse to acknowledge the presence of any beta server, no matter which region it's set to.|

Start -> Run
For 32 bit: "C:\Program Files\NCsoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CohBeta
For 64 bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCsoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CohBeta
These will start the NCLauncher with the Beta server selected for install, then just click "Install Now" if you need to.

Not noticed any problem on mine
shortcut to the launcher

INSTALLED
City of Heroes (US)
City of Heroes
City of Heroes Test (EU)
City of Heroes Beta

NOT INSTALLED
Lineage

I installed the NCSoft launcher when Aion was released so it may be that more recent installs aren't picking up the seperate installations - you have installed each client to a separate folder haven't you? - The Beta install was after the launcher was installed and was still picked up properly.

The beta server client is already installed on my computer -- in multiple locations now in fact. I just can't run or update any of them through the NC Soft Launcher.|

I shall try editing the Launcher configuration files directly and see if that will make it work.

IMO thats just not the same. I cant get a true experience of the difficulty of the new trial with a character that isnt slotted.
Given up on seeing the trial my characters can take part in so i'll wait for it go live now instead
[as of writing this the copy tool is still down for EU servers so doubt we'll get a chance now anyway]

Okay I have access to the Beta Server. Sweet. It is updated regularly. Thought I would be able to check out the new Staff power. It is not in the power selections. Any reason why? I am vip.
Buy it from the market.

Vous ne pouvez pas lancer ce programme directement. Veuillez d'abord exécuter le lanceur NCsoft.
Dieses Programm kann nicht direkt ausgeführt werden - bitte dazu den NCsoft-Launcher starten.
