My Steam shortcut works - points to
"D:\Games\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh

currently steam does like city of heroes enough to start it, but the steam overlay does not work with city of heroes so it will automatically shut off after a few seconds|

at least the game launches thrrough steam instead of not at all lol, getting the overlay fixed would be work on steam and paragon studios end
Thanks for the help guys. Its much appreciated.
Works just fine now:
"D:\Games\NCSoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe" /LaunchGame=CityOfHeroes
Needed the quotes separate from the switch. Steam omits those. This does allow for the use of the overlay as well! YAY

Is this putting coh as a non steam game or dl in steam and playing that way? Reason I asked is I downloaded it in steam picked up the gr edition when it was cheap and when i go to launch it it launches the NCSoft updater and coh right after.

As a non-steam game.
I didn't even know about steam when I subsribed to COH, and it worked fine with the cohupdater. I was just unable to get it to launch in steam with the NCsoft launcher shortcut once they removed the coh updater.

When running on STEAM i get this:

Running steam://rungameid/29690 brings me to an outdated version of the launcher
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\city of heroes going rogue\CoHUpdater.eu.exe
Will this be changed any time soon?
Install the NCSoft Launcher. The old CoH Updater shown in your picture no longer works.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Yeah, I have that, I can play it through the NCSoft Launcher.
But I bought it through STEAM and the link takes me to that outdated launcher.
Sounds as if you need to update your Steam setup.

i recently checked on steam and it appears that they removed city of heroes GR edition from their store, possible to include coh again when it allows free/premium accounts
Yup, this was the link:
City of Heroes Going Rogue®: Complete Collection on Steam

Texas; it's not possible for me to do that.
