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 in the command line nor in a Windows shortcut 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.


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. Launch profiles are used in combination with the Homecoming Launcher. A "package" is a collection of files that are required for the game to run. There can be multiple packages.
