    Having the same issue...

    The game crashed on me two nights ago.

    Since then the launcher will not even execute. I have the champions online button on my desktop showing the game is running, but so far, not even a log in screen.

    I've uninstalled, and reinstalled the game. Downloaded it from the champions website and still nothing.

    WTF is going on with your game?

    The last launcher patch has apparently messed things up.

    What happened? Did the NSA snag your data?

    Not sure what they did but that patch for the launcher got me as well. Even tried thru STO and Neverwinter Launchers all the same but downloaded PWE's Arc Launcher it is updating game but at a very slow rate, you could try that (http://www.perfectworld.com/arc) I'm not 100% sure if it will work with full patch but seems to be the only option at the moment support doesnt seem to grasp what problem I was having on ticket. Most likely the way I explained it to them.

    ok , i just figured out a way to do it for xp users to do this
    open the task manager Ctrl+Alt+Delete right click on the launcher and select maximise
    sign in and hopefully it will patch
    this seems to have cured this for me on both launchers

    Sorry, just enquiring. I've returned recently with a windows 7 computer and since it seems linked with the launcher, I don't receive my one-time computer authentication code by e-mail. You think the program line that asks the game to send me that e-mail got ripped off? Was there an issue before?

    I receive all PWE publicities and the PWE customer service mail and my e-mail is verified. So... (And no, spam box don't get them and I don't have a noreply@perfectworld or cryptic filter on.)

    So just to see if I'm alone or part of something that was addressed before or in the way to get resolved soon

    Greeting, I'm not sure if this will fix the minimize launcher issue

    First off, let say that something filter the launcher to run in Normal Window, that why in Minimize you can see it working fine so as in Task Manager

    I tried to reopen it multiple times, use Bring and Maximize option in Task Manager. But I found something interesting around in Properties by Setting the launcher to run in Maximize instead of Normal Window

    If it show up in maximize, the full launcher, the log in page then you can return to Properties and return the option back to Run in Normal Window. I seems to fix it. But I'm not sure if it help other players or not, but it work for me.

    Just to let everyone know. Maybe my case was a separate bug. But it is now taken care of for the game part on my side.

    Their technicians must be on your side soon.

    Happy 4th of July

    (Grr passed the St-John and Canada Day :P -yup a French-Canuck here-)
