The game crashed 3 times already.

Also the Forum is completely messed up. I hope this is a temporary bug and NOT a new design.

    At far as I can tell, there is no patch today (at least, not for the client side).

    For the forum, it is a bit better if you come in through playneverwinter.com.

    So far, I have no clash.

    I have no idea why the game keeps crashing since maintenance.
    I log in, invoke and when trying to swap toons or swap instances it crashes.

    Have you tried Force Verify?

    No idea how to do that, but the crashes look random. I did a dungeon without crashing then did a skirmish and crashed once. Sometimes I was just standing in a public area doing nothing for several minutes and game crashed. Later played for 2 hours without crashing.

    When you bring the launder, use the 'Option' on top and choose force verify.

    Thanks, I did that, but the game still crashed couple times later.

    Yesterday updated Windows (Windows 10 Home, Version 21H1, 64 bit).
    Then played Neverwinter for 2 hour without crashing.
    Today played also about 2 hours, no crash yet.

    It's possible that windows update fixed something (or windows ruined something before, because was preparing updates maybe).

    This is what was updated in case interested:

    In my experience, when there is a pending Windows pending, Windows can act weird. No, the weirdness is not limited to the Neverwinter game.

    Most recent PC patch was May 5 - the maintenance on Wednesday of last week was a quarterly server maintenance done for all Cryptic games but had no content updates for NW, but I'll keep an eye on this thread in case any additional details come up!

    Try updating your Driver. I know there was no update, and despite download and restarting to TRY Neverwinter again after a 2+ year Hiatus. I launched fine last Monday thru Thursday, though sometimes I do get the BLACK SCREEN that never displays the Cryptic Logo and sit there forever; yet usually you only see that ONE time.

    Today I saw it 3x in a ROW (which never happens) it's always only ONCE.

    I tried updating drivers from Nvidia 511.79 to 512.77 and things now Start. Yet last week or two even before updating to latest driver in Star Trek Online I never see the Black Screen anymore, or if it goes BLACK, something gives it a kick to then display the Cryptic Logo and continue. That doesn't happen though in Neverwinter.
