Ok, every time I try to run the Beta now, I get in some kind of infinite loop where all it does is download cider, mount, eject, etc.
repair does not work. Throwing away preferences does not work.
Is there a workaround for that?

I'm seeing that behavior, but for live; see my other thread:

This is happening on both Live and Beta for me.

Yeah, didn't even get as far as trying to mount cider, it just tried and instantly failed. Can't get into live.

ETA: Repair doesn't help, and "check for updates" tries again to download cider and insta-fails.
Okay, quitting the launcher and restarting it caused it to patch itself, which let it patch Cider correctly, I can get in now.

Hmm...I was on this morning, logged for a while and now can't get the NClauncher to work. Simply says I can't use this version of the application with my version os the OS. Weird that it would happen mid day like this.
Wash: "I've been under fire before. Well ... I've been in a fire. Actually, I was fired. I can handle myself."
Slight problem over here... launched the NCLauncher and it gave an "update has been found" promt. It installed within seconds and now this pops up "You cannot use this version of the application NCLauncher with this version of Mac OS X."
I can't access the launcher at all now 
They're sneaky, they fixed it server-side. The dmg download now contains v1.0.6998.
So all you folks, give it another try. Sometime after about 5pm EDT they fixed it. To some degree, anyway.

Well that was ... interesting.
I just ran the Launcher and it updated the Launcher.
Then the Launcher said (when I manually queried it) that there were updates to Beta (checked first), Test (checked second), and Live (checked last).
I then permitted all three updates to take place, starting with Beta and proceeding (in parallel) to Live.
All three announced themselves on the pop-up updater windows as Cider Updates rather than Client updates.
Haven't tried to launch any of them yet to log into any servers, but just found it ... interesting ... that these updates to Beta/Test/Live all billed themselves as Cider Updates.
And for those who are keeping score, I'm on OS X 10.7.1 ...
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
....really? I don't even play on a Mac and I was pretty flabbergasted that they had announced a date without a verified fix in for a supported platform, I'd been watching for a fix for ages.
Honestly its a major issue, and *should* have redname interaction. A group of players rightfully feels like its not okay for a game to consider an entire platform being effectively crippled as an acceptable loss to launch. Maybe it won't affect anything this time, but if the mac community sits back and takes 'better late than never' as okay its never going to change.
hey zwill. got the new launcher update no problem download. of course, it doesn't work with my version of os [10.5.7].

Yo Z don't say okay hurl insults and then delete postings that do. Otherwise don't give the okay.
nonetheless this is the error
Download failed! Error - The operation couldnt be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.) (null)
On 10.6.8
I tried restarting the client and other manual sort of options. I'm not comfortable deleting my preferences until someone from CoX gives the okay. I want someone to be semi responsible when it crashes my whole OS or something.

Is anyone important wise reading this or have they just gone home now?
Plainguy, by "restarting the client" do you mean the launcher? Because restarting the launcher worked for me (OS10.6.8), it had to patch itself before it could properly patch the game.

I went to launcher settings and configured it for ask for update and then while it was trying to download this phantom update ( nothing was happening ) I clicked on check for updates in the nclauncher control panel.
That then took over cancelled that update and restarted a new update.

Wait...what? We won't have access to the market at all? Where does it say that?
I got the impression from Zwill's post that we would just have the 'garbled text' issue.
Right now I'm trying to find a copy of the old launcher to re-install it
to clarify:
the nclauncher on my doc has a white circle with a slash thru it. when i click on nclauncher i get "you cannont use this version of the application NCLauncher with this version of the Mac OS X.
i am running 10.5.7

Won't work. The old launcher won't be allowed to connect, a friend tried that.

- rt click NcLauncher, "Show Package Contents"
- Double click contents/info.plist
- change the "minimum system version" entry from 10.6 to 10.5
- save and quit property list editor, try running launcher again.
Does that work?
something new just happened. I can now get on and play CoH beta but can't do the same with CoH and CoH Test.
Keep getting this message for CoH, and CoH test
"Download Failed! Error-File doesn't exist (null)"
"Downloading File cider-COHR-Updater-006998.tgz"
I can still run/play beta if I ignore 'do you want to update' window
What gives.

Ok. Me again.
Finially got all 3 versions of CoH to work on mine. Still don't quite know how. But heres what I know so far.
1)moved the NCLauncer update away from the NCLauncer window and hit now, then one of the CoH's under install instantly afterwards.
2)Then I clicked on repair. Let it go thru the motions. then canciled checking files. then quit launcer.
Then when thru step 1 again and clicked on game to run.
As I said. dont' quite figured out how it works but maybe I lucked out and the update didn't quit take. Still it means I can now still run CoH (at least until tomorrow).
Hope this helps.
Omg yet another mac issue.
Now i can't even log launch the game at all..
I am so fed up.
But that is just a clarification. As Zwill said, the issue will be made known to the general public for those Mac users who do not frequent the forums, which means that Mac users attempting to purchase stuff despite the text bug will be doing so at their own risk. Then, provided the fix coming later this week works, the discounts should still be in full effect and we will be able to take advantage of them with a readable store.
What I can't fathom though is why they are setting it up so we have two big downloads in one week? Is it because of the head start?
Odds are the patch later this week won't be nearly as large as the one coming tomorrow. The one coming tomorrow will be carrying the bulk of the content, while the one later this week will be bug fixes that were completed after code was frozen for the launch patch.
