Solution to No Login problems - works if you have latest u..

From the boards:

If you're getting hung up at the Updater screen (connecting 1, connecting
2...) here's how to log in by bypassing the updater (NOTE: This will NOT
work if you have not downloaded the latest patch):

Make a shortcut on your desktop to CityofHeroes.EXE (NOT the City of Heroes
Updater). Now right click on the shortcut and select Properties. In the
Target window you'll see something like "C:\Program Files\City of
Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" (depending on where you installed CoH). Add
"-project coh" (without the quotation marks) to the target line, so that it
reads like "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh

Note the space between .exe" and the - sign.

Cool! Thanks for the info. That trick works like a charm when the update
server is tossing it's cookies!
