Hilariously I just hit the same thing (again). If anything, NCSoft should have made their freaking subpar launcher do the verification, not try to roll it into cityofheroes.exe. The launcher already has the hashes, and checking a file's hash is quite easy to do, especially in a language like .Net where you can do that in just a few lines of code.
I, unfortunately, don't believe there's a way. There should be a way to bypass the verification process (likely not with a flag to coh.exe), but I've not looked into that.

Just out of curiousity, what happens if you hit "No"?

IIRC, it lets you go into the game without checking the files, but "at your own risk" as it were.

It says "I know you said No, but you meant Yes. Verifying....."
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
When you hit No, the game wont start.

Interestingly enough, the Mac Launcher does not have the 'verify' prompt/step after updating. I was actually going to check it to see what'd happen if you pressed "No"... but I never got asked after updating!

I pressed No just to see what it did XD
Just had this pop up which I pressed yes too, and the game loaded fine.
It's now Issue 21 and I am back!

I've always told it no and gotten the warning about how it's going to set my computer on fire or whatever. Never had a problem playing the game. It seems pointless to me.

I've clicking NO and haven't had any problems yet.
I started a thread on a subject similar (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=272404). A poster has a way to get around it: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...59&postcount=8

In the launcher, right-click on COH. Then under extra parameters type -noverify That'll skip the verification every time. |

Yeah, as if the random crashes from a verified install are so less frequent.

It seems to be the presence of the .ncpatch file triggers that dialog, which deletes the file when it's done.

... so can I have permission to verify the files?
(Yes) (No)
YES, DAMMIT!
Is there ANY way I can make it so that after downloading a patch, the updater just verifies the files then loads the game, instead of sitting there waiting for permission? It's kinda annoying to wander off and let the patcher do its thing, just to come back and find that... it didn't finish. I mean, if it HAS to verify the files, why is it asking for permission anyways?
