There's already a large thread about launcher errors popping up. It's possible there some sort of ISP/region wide issue right now, and it's not Paragon Studios or NC Soft at all.

I just logged into the game just now, so it's not down or anything.
Dunno, delete the checksum files and try again? Checksum files end with a .checksum extension and there are two of them in the main CoH program directory. Deleting those might just force the same thing as a repair, so I'm not terribly hopeful.
Check some networking stuff on your end. There's diagnostic programs on the technical forum that dump your logs and what not. Try posting up those. There doesn't seem to be many common problems amongst the various folks with problems, but we might be able to spot what is causing your problem.
UGH -- It happened last night. FPS dropped done under 5. So I shut down and rebooted.
NOW the launcher gives me "Error Code: 13 (ProductConfigurationLoadError):" or some variation every attempt. I've tried uninstalling, repairing, reinstalling the launcher and it doesn't change it. Of course since this happens immediately I can't get to a point to even select a game let alone launch it.
The last time something with the launcher happened i had to do a complete reinstall of the game. Renaming folders slightly to make sure it was a separate install.
Has anyone got a better trick to do? Something to bypass this? I'll be spending all bloody weekend getting this back IF I can even do it.
I personally have a VERY LOW REGARD for the Launcher and think it is the WORST thing NCSOFT ever came up with.
