Based on my flow I think the issue was originally a very out of date video driver in conjunction with the latest update. Setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\CoH\screenx to 800 and Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\CoH\screeny to 0 in the registry forced the client to reset the video settings to default, which fixed the issue.

Thanks for your help Number Six.

HAHA I WIN. Set the X and Y to invalid values, game client detected this and reset them, and now 64 bit client works.

Set resolution to 1024 x 768 and disabled full screen, error message went away but behavior returned.

Is there a config file I can edit to set the display mode, or a command line switch I can add in options?

After numerous updates I got in via safemode, tweaked the graphics settings and then backed out to try the 64 bit client:

Nuked fonts.pigg, it brought it down again, pressed play and same behavior.

gonna nuke the piggs and see what happens when it copies them down again

Where is the font stored you think?

Verified multiple times and reloaded fresh into a fresh directory. Finished windows updates and retried, same result. I could try deleting fonts and disabling antivirus?

What version of Tequila?

Running windows updates.

Updated to latest nvidia driver, no change.
