BUG: Stuck in a "Hole" In the northeast part of the map, just south of the half-bridge (coordinates 4099, 5323) is a "hole" between the rocks and the invisible wall. It is easy enough to fall into, but takes the "Abort Quest" to get out of it.
BUG: Final Invoke Window is Blank Final invoke window is blank.
Well, had the same problem, crash after Neverwinter splash screen.
Updated Windows, restarted computer. Nope.
Updated graphics drivers. Nope.
Updated Direct X. Nope.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Arc client. Nope.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Nope.
Tried "force verify" and "safe mode". Nope.
Well, since I can't play, devs, could you at least allow leadership in gateway again so I can keep up somewhat until this fiasco is fixed? For those of you who can get in to play, consider yourself lucky.

I could get in, and I went into ECC, Valindra dungeon. It was laggy. Valindra was so bad, that I could'nt even play it properly, It was like a slideshow. Even with lesser heroics I got issues. It was fine before yesterday, and it is reaaally annoying. Maybe it's just the higher demand on servers due to the mod just came out, but with all the people who cant get in, it's obvious, some very bad mistakes was done with Stronghold.
My story is truly a grand tale! Of course, any story about me is going to be grand simply by virtue of the main character.
Forget the Arc client, open the game through the neverwinter.exe, located in the "neverwinter" folder in your c/program files(<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>)/Perfect World Entertainment/. Then, in the login screen go to options and run the game in safe mode or uncheck the full screen option (just to be safe, you just need to do this once).

Dunno if this helps but for a tenth of a second when the game tries to load it
goes back to the desktop and the bottom left corner mentions "shade loaders"
and I think a countdown clock. Then it goes back to the black screen forever.
Did you really think anyone could steal the power of the god of thieves?
Well, something nice has to be said of a game whose advanced update still hasn't locked out someone using a 9 year-old 1.5gig memory Thinkpad R60e and is slugging it out toe to toe with monsters and baddies solo all the way to lvl 49 now (!!! YEAHHH) even though the movement and action is kinda jerky and I need lots of gas -- er, portions to put a boss away. With all this wear and tear going solo, one day I just have to apply to a guid tho'!
Take well & care and great work NW crew!

Gateway doesn't recognize VIP status at all, just like it's never been able to boost character XP from Leadership based on player equipment (since it doesn't "know" what you're wearing), and grants no XP to a companion that would be summoned in-game. What I'm getting at is that it doesn't grant profession XP boosts either; gotta collect your tasks in-game.
ive have tried "arc launcher" and uninstalled it,also tryed with the "steam launcher" and got the driver error{hd grapic driver stopped responding and recovered} I have updated ALL my drivers and still the same issue ! I also tried " force verify and safe mode} still the same issue ,I know its not my comp. because ive only had it 4 days its new, its the game patch I had the same problem befor when they put in mod 6, I would like to be able to get the patches one of these times without problems, I hope fixs are being done and not take days like with mod 6

Try changing your in-game display settings to windowed mode.
We are saying we are not in the game. How do you do that from launcher?
Upper right side. Small list of links in red. One says "Options".
Be aware that hitting "Save" for your choices doesn't actually save them for next time.
You have input all your choices each time you're about to hit Play.
I would recommend "Safe Mode" to get your Leadership tasks and prayers done.
But I'm not actually going to play or pay for Zen with the graphics so messed up
(and all the new bugs).

Bug - AH search settings are defaulting incorrectly See my explanation in linked thread.
Have drops been nerfed? Just spent a couple hours in IWD, and in a party of 5, we ended up with 3 pieces of green gear.
Now that you mention it, I notice a lot fewer gear drops when partied than when solo, but this is also true of content prior to Strongholds. I use round robin loot rules so I have no clue what anyone else is getting.
To everyone that is complaining about crashing on entering. If it is actually telling you it crashed, then yes you have an issue. If it is just getting stuck after the cryptic screen and going nowhere... then it is not crashing! It has, for the last few Mods/Expansions done this. Wait it out and it works. I had to leave it for 5 minutes till it finally took me into the game. This only happens ONCE and does not happen after the initial load of the new content.
Patience is the key here folks. Until the Devs figure out how to prevent this from happening, we will probably see it on every new mod/expansion from now on. Like I said... its been happening for a few major Updates since Tiamat came in I think.
FEEDBACK: PvP "Inconvenience" If you enter PvP from the Stronghold, when you're finished, it drops you back into Protector's Enclave. While it's a mild inconvenience, it should return you to the Stronghold.[/cyan]
That's because the Stronghold instance closed due to being left vacant. Same thing would happen if you were in a dungeon or skirmish.

I'll highlight what needs to be understood: "If it is actually telling you it crashed, then yes you have an issue.If it is just getting stuck after the cryptic screen and going nowhere... then it is not crashing! It has, for the last few Mods/Expansions done this. Wait it out and it works. I had to leave it for 5 minutes till it finally took me into the game. This only happens ONCE and does not happen after the initial load of the new content."
If it is crashing, you'll see a message stating such. If you just see a black or loading screen, do be patient while the game client relocates game files. This process will take longer or shorter depending on the size of the patch and the quality and speed of your system.
BUG: Final Invoke Window is Blank Final invoke window is blank.
Just to add to this, it's only a display bug. Rewards are still granted. It actually looks like the display has flown off the top of my screen, as the text regarding when I can start the invoke cycle again appears near the top of my screen rather than at the bottom of the invoke UI.
zebular, my screen loads past the black screen with cryptic in bold letters. it gets to the "loading material files screen", then it goes whit, and then it goes black and stays that way.

Why not figure it out first, fix it, then release it? Now that would be a quality product that people enjoy instead of what they have been releasing lately!

Same here. I try everything the other users told me to do, but does not work... every step foward is two steps back. I solved the "Fatal Error:..." I solved the Crashes in the games (I do the first Dungeon 4 times "*·#"@") and now this... I dont know, if I go ahead I might find more errors or bugs I will uninstall it... :/

This is working for me in windows 8 and 10.

That's not a bug, it's just not dynamically generated text. She shows everyone the same thing.
