Stuck with "Trying to update launcher..."

Soooooooo I'm in the Desert Crisis powerhouse, when I decide to log out and roll yet another alt. I click the "yes" button on the confirmation dialog box....then my screen goes black for a second, I'm booted to my desktop, and up pops "Oops! Your Cryptic application has crashed...."

Meh, it's happened before, no big deal. I send an error report, try to restart the launcher. Now it won't get past "Trying to update launcher. Please be patient."

I want to be patient. I'm trying to be patient. Being paaaaaatient......and now I get a shiny new error message: "The connection was idle for too long." Poof, no more launcher.

So....WTF, Cryptic? what's goin on? ^^

    Just noticed this myself while trying to see if the "Retrieving Characters from List" freeze glitch had been worked on at all.

    Oh happy, happy day.:mad:

    I am also running into this right now. I didn't crash, however.

    Looks like the account server is screwed.

    Again...

    Yep. Same here. Tried to switch alts, got booted back to the desktop, now I can't update. Just be patient, folks, there's a lot of stuff they're trying to fix all at once and this is probably one of the more recent issues.

    Also seeing this message when I click the game icon. Can get around this by just double clicking the GameClient.exe, but am not able to log in further. :(

    Heck, a friend of mine that wasn't getting the earlier "Retrieving Characters from List" bug I was got this updater freeze.

    Looks like this is turning into a pretty universal ordeal. ... Oof.

    Edit: Nevermind! It's fixed now, apparently. Though I'm still stuck at "Retrieving List of Characters." Dang. :mad:

    I just got back from dinner and a show and decided to login. I'm getting the little cryptic autoupdater trying to update please be patient dialog. Haha while I was looking for info an writing this post it just cleared. It took like 5-10 minutes so I guess they want you to be REALLY patient...

    I just got this problem as well, but since there are so many people with the same I feel a lot better, I just hope my character didin't die because it crashed in a middle of a fight, lol

    Something server side must have crashed. Mine went straight to log in screen this time :)
