    whenever I alt-tab out, I can't get back in. When I try to reload the gameclient.exe window I get this error

    Game runs fine, until I alt-tab out.. then I can't get back in.

    Same issue that happened with Mod 6 release with the loading screen. I have had to start in safe mode since that release now safe mode doesn't work at all on this release. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game and it has the same issue. Get to the splash screen and freezes up. This is a bug that should of been fixed ages ago instead of further progressed with another glitched mod release.

    Same loader issues mentioned 1000 times before. I get to just before character screen then it hangs. Bummer.
  • time2011time2011 Member Posts: 125 Arc User
    I knew it I said it yesterday "tomorrow is going to be hell I can tell it'll lag like hell" I was wrong for lag but the loading is like a virus that they don't bother to cure only spread it even further

    I think this is the same error I'm getting (command window closes itself too fast, didn't think to print screen, and I'm giving up for the night :P

    I had several of the problems already mentioned here, e.g. 'Display driver stopped responding' , lock ups and so on. So I tried the good old-fashioned 'reboot your PC' option (which we all know cures around 95-99% of all known PC problems). Whatever the fault was with NW Strongholds Mod 7 was fixed on my PC using this all-purpose cure all. I have now been into Mod 7, played in several areas and even visited my Guild's Stronghold and had a quick look round the initial quests. I only have two problems, the lag at Spinward Rise was horrendous to the point I had to give up trying to complete the Second Tome Quest and why, oh why is one of the first quests that you have to complete in the strongholds a full on Dungeon ! You have Epic Cragmire or 'Regular' Valindra's Tower. This is on a par with the ridiculous requirement in Well of Dragons that insists on sending new arrivals to complete the Cult Prison lair. It's going to be a while before I complete this introductory group in Strongholds :'(

    I am also getting stuck on the Neverwinter loading screen. I have no available updates, and I have tried force verify and safe mode. I have even tried waiting on the page for 20 minutes.

    This is a problem from NevewinterPreview. I hope that it can be fixed as soon as possible.

I have now been into Mod 7, played in several areas and even visited my Guild's Stronghold and had a quick look round the initial quests.

    I had edited my origional post with my troubleshooting steps, but essentially this is what I did too. I had noticed that my Mem was capped at 96%, and early on in the loading process (when i started to noticed the lag), and i had seen the files downloading upon entering the stronghold aread, i checked my task manager, and Neverwinter had 8 Processes going at the same time! first time I'd ever seen that with NWO, and since i fixed it i cannot replicate that. BUT...after killing all active processes (including MS Edge which i had running at the time), my memory was still capped @96%. so i restarted.

    back to normal. mem hovering around 15%, CPU around 4%, game loads and runs fine. if you want all the steps i did to tshoot, read my last thread. but essentially I think that people who are having issues graphically should make sure all active processes are killed, and restart the PC. if you are having file issues, it may be that the live hotfixes they were doing cause corruption....I highly recommend uninstalling (using the default windows program manager), and restarting the PC, then re-installing the game.

    Not that they stated they were doing live hotfixes, but the behavior of the loading screens (kept getting files uploading on each one, big one on stronghold), and the multiple procs running at the same time, leads me to believe they were, and it just didn't go well.

    It sounds like they are having issues with that too. someone in another thread had mentioned that he also got some items with no names, only a generic "click to X" description, and only a placeholder icon. I think they definitely have their work cut out for them with bug fixes.

    Well I guess now is as good a time as any to permanently uninstall this game. I don't understand why people jump thru such massive hoops either to try and even get into such a pos game. And looking at it once you are in people are already discovering all kinds of bugs.

    Sad to see my progress flushed down the drain, but it becomes a mute point when there is no game anymore. May as well convince myself it never existed and find fun elsewhere.

    that's what they all say, you'll be back.

    Otherwise guys, none of the solutions before worked for me, and my drivers are all up to date.

    I have windows 8 and when I start my game it gets past cyrpic and when it gets to neverwinter it just stays there and does not load my character screen please fix this issue before I decide to uninstall. I have installed the new chipset and the drivers for my video card and still nothing

    Seriously?!?!? Welp, you killed my hope for a fix today... after all, if they couldn't fix it on preview I doubt they will fix after launch
