Login Server Down?

So, it won't let me log into the game. I'm not seeing an announcement that covers this for today, and obviously my internet is working. Anyone else having this problem?

What is the error message? Have you verified your internet connection is solid?

The error message is the standard "the game can't connect to the login server" message. Every other internet application I've run goes smoothly, and I'm seeing no other reason why I can't connect.

Last stupid question, is your account active?

Last I checked, which was Thursday, yes.

It may be having issues, I just logged in but it took 5 minutes for the username/password screen to come up. My connection is just fine; while I was waiting I ran a speed test on my line and got 25 Mbs down/4 Mbs up.

Didn't know if you'd seen this thread yet, Aett. It seems that despite what the NCSoft Launcher is saying the game is not up to date and is trying to contact a non-existent log in server.

I had the same problem and so did several other people.

Thanks for that. I'll try those steps.

Just for completeness' sake, if the person is posting on the forum, their account is active. Only active account holders can post on the forum.

(And for more completeness: After Freedom, if the person is posting on the forum, they are a VIP subscriber - freemie/preemie can't post.)

It is frustrating... what was even more mind boggling for me, was that I could get on to the Beta server without issue.

Not sure if it's related, but I launch the game from one of two ways;

Code:
Target: E:\Games\NCSoft\Launcher\NCLauncher.exe /LaunchGame=CityOfHeroes
Normal way, launcher is configured to close on game startup, and I get no issues.

Code:
Target: "E:\Games\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh -uiskin 2 -maxinactivefps 5
When I feel like launching through steam (also the way I dualbox if reading forums and stuff on PC#2). This method worked up until the last patch, but now when I try to launch this, I can't connect to the login server. Which is odd, because they both point to the same client (the other one just opens it through the launcher, this one through steam).

That's because the launcher appends -auth=*.*.*.* which can change pretty much anytime it wants to. Matter of fact, the auth server has changed no less then twice in the last week, I've been keeping http://sgspaces.net/server_status/ up to date on IP changes, and with the latest long downtime EVERY server IP except Beta/Test changed.
