Command Line Parameter

-profile ID

Set profile for launching the game (live / diag / beta / pre).

  • ID is the name of the launch profile.
  • Options are:
    • live     (Live Client. Used for the live Homecoming game service.)
    • diag    (Homecoming Diagnostic Client. This profile can only be used with the Homecoming Launcher and can not be used directly as a launch parameter with cityofheroes.exe)
    • beta   (Beta Client. Used for Beta Testing an upcoming patch or revision.)
    • pre     (Prerelease Client. Used for quick-release tests that doesn't involve a major revision to the Live Client.)
  • Default is "live".

A launch profile contains information about which "packages" the game requires, as well as instructions on how to launch a program, and what configuration options can be set. News feeds and server status are also provided on a per-profile basis. A "package" is a collection of files that are required for the game to run. There can be multiple packages.
