    Same situation of launcher failure. Downloaded the new .exe and it was working fine yesterday until the maintenance. Is there another updated version? Please advise.

    Unfortunately, same happened with me. Was working fine yesterday, then I had to go to work, got home; looking forward to playing :D And it wouldn't work. Exactly that same message that came on earlier that day before I did what was required on the Update 7.

    Just might have found at least a temporary solution - I just downloaded the Update 7 link again, and it's made it through to the Launcher, which is now updating the patch - hopefully it will work for you guys too.

    Okay guys what seemed to work for me: 1. Go to your NWN installations folder 2. Rightclick the exe, run as admin.

    The old one is fixed? But now the one you guys got me to download no longer works. Can i has old .exe plx?

    All i did was go into the Neverwinter/Live folder run the GameClient.exe it loaded up, now my normal desktop (Patch Client/Luncher) runs fine. Of course not displaying anything (news etc...).

    Okay, I tried this as well and the game launched but didn't go through the patcher. However whenever I connect it just gives me a timed out error. I hope they are looking at this thread, because I was about to give them some of my money!

    I would really love to be able to get into the game and play, from what I'm reading it's a great addition to the PW family. I am currently on my 3rd try for the download, tried all the aforementioned fixes and nothing is working. I get the client going, everything will load, then BAM totally blank screen. My whole system is up to date, even double checked my video card for any current updates although I just did it 2 days ago. I have been looking forward to playing Neverwinter since they announced it, and now all I'm getting is disappointment. So frustrated :confused:

    I made sure to delete the old one I had in downloads, re downloaded, copied, and it worked. Had to end processes in task manager before I could copy, that might be the issue. Hope I don't have to do this every day :/

    Any official word on when this will be fixed?

    Replacing files every day is no good.

    think i am having a similar problem. get thru patching, get thru cryptic loading screen, then get stuck at a totaly black screen. stays there forever. if i am on full screen, only solution is a cold boot. in safe mode, i can close it normally... i was able to play last night, but
    after loggin in and out a cuple times, this started. and have not been able to get past it. no matter what i do with my system.
    any ideas even?

    Running as admin from the task bar worked, It's patching now. See if it works after that.

    Skimmed through the last 183 pages, so if I am duplicating, my apologies. I had similar issues with the launcher. Though, I had the launcher from closed beta access. While doing the patch, got about 50% done and BAM! Computer crashes (maybe it's a thank you to Windows 8 platform to boot). Anyway, what I needed to do is the following:

    Knowing that there were issues with the launcher from forum posts, waited to see if they said "it's fixed". I then uninstalled anything and everything NeverWinter related, did a disk clean up, rebooted computer, rebooted modem and now I'm starting fresh. Went here:

    http://nw.perfectworld.com/download and redownloaded the launcher from the "direct download" link. It was a little time consuming, but after I did this, it installed smoothly, patched just as smoothly and everything was right with the world.


    Again, if this is a duplicate post of someone else suggesting the same thing, my apologies.

    I'm having the launcher problem AGAIN: "The patchclient got a message while it was...". I already fixed this yesterday by replacing the Neverwinter.exe with the new executable as you instructed in the first post and game was working fine. Now it reverted back to this issue. :(

    Any ideas?

    [Solution] Update 10: For "CrypticError: Oops! Oops! Your Cryptic application has crashed. To help us out, please indicate what was going on at the time of the crash, while we gather information." messages, close Teamviewer and Mumble if you have them opened.

    DisplayFusion (multi-monitor desktop management software) also causes this issue....so close before trying to play if you are using it.

    I am having no joy with the launch, without a character or a way to build one I guess I'm out of luck. DDO character creation takes 5 min. I guess I'll have to wait to play computer 4th Ed.
