Profile (Command Line Parameter)

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:

Profile IDs	Description
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.
