No dice but now the launcher window stays open though it won't do anything, including Check of Updates. Which leads to:|

Wrong game version, run patcher and reconnect, server 2320.201207182341.1, client 2310.201207040204.1

Ah, yes. As I mention in the post, my command line version will only work if you are patched. The other night before I switched to using the command line version I had to hit "reopen->Don't reopen windows" like 100+ times before the launcher launched successfully. Do that until you can patch and then you can launch from the command line after that.

1. Open up the terminal app (That's in applications->utilities->Terminal) 2. Make sure that your security preferences in mountain lion allow applications from "any author" as per further up in the thread. 3. In the terminal window, execute this command: Code:
/Applications/City\ of\ Heroes.app/Contents/MacOS/cider.real --cmdline '-launcher -auth 64.25.36.88 -project coh' |
No love for the Mac users. 
I think it took about 10 tries to get it to patch. I was able to get in game on that session. Quit to desktop and it was back to the usual reopen mess.
The command line version worked without any problems.
Also of note... With a Retina Macbook Pro, if you normally run your desktop scaled (i.e.: not the default 1440x900 "Best for Retina Display") you will have to turn off scaling to play... at least in my experience.
When I tried to play with the display scaled (I normally run mine at 1920x1200) the game launched and I could hear sound, but there was no video. Once I tried again without scaling the desktop, everything worked fine.

It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Yes, please give us an update.
My week old MacBook Pro came with Lion but I upgraded to Mountain Lion to fast. I have to say, I REALLY don't want to wipe the thing back to Lion and reinstall what I've already put on. I just reactivated to VIP this morning after 6 years 7 months of subscription (I was away since last April) and I would really like to start playing.
Give us Mac users some love please!

Once I got the launcher to patch my out of date install, it took about 10 tries to get the launcher to do that, got in game just fine.
I'll keep trying. It keeps crashing on me (over 15 times in a row so far), but if at first you don't succeed... 
I just hope this isn't going to be considered an official Paragon Studios fix lol

I had done Cuppa's launcher command as well, so that may or may not be necessary to get it to patch.
Unfortunately none of the people working on NC Launcher (or City of Heroes) work there anymore, so the likelyhood of these issues being fixed is zero.

Just read the news. I just started a subscription up again too. Guess thats gone now Wow.
It feels weird that CoH won't be around anymore. I had a paid sub from launch day (i was second wave beta) until April of this year then spend some months away. Feels like a part of me just died a little. I've kept all of my screenshots and everything over the years... memories of events, friends, super groups, etc. It really wont be forgotten.
