NCSoft launcher problems

Is anyone else having problems lately with the NCSoft launcher?

I've been having trouble getting the NCSoft launcher to work properly for a few days and now today I can't log at all. I keep getting a NCSoft Launcher Update Error "Unable to Contact Launcher Update Server". It says that "There is either a problem with your internet connection, or the update server is currently down.

I used to just skip it since it would never connect and just go on to play. Today though, skipping isn't a solution as when I do that, the game won't load and I get an error, "Value was either too large or too small for an Int32."

The launcher can't/won't update and I can't do a repair so I'm unable to play.

I've cleared my DNS cache, checked to make sure no firewalls were blocking the updater, downloaded a new version of the launcher, renamed my CoH folder in an attempt to reinstall the game and rebooted my modem.

Nada.

I saw on the server status page that some servers are up while others are Unknown, so maybe that's what the problem is, but if anyone has any advice on what I may be able to do on my end to get things running again, I'd appreciate it.

Problem solved.

For some reason completely uninstalling the game from the launcher didn't work alone, and neither did removing (renaming the CoH folder in my case) separately. However, doing both allowed the launcher to connect and update to an even newer version than the one I downloaded from the NCSoft site.

No idea why it did what it did, but things are working fin now.
