    I'm having the same problem. Think it might be related to the fact that I closed the patcher after it dl'd 0% in 30 mins.

    I have the same problem as bofonic.

    Played this morning without incident. When I tried to log in a couple of minutes ago the system freezes at the CRYPTIC screen.
    Have to close the application through Task Master. It showed that the program was "not responding".

    PS: I did not have any issue when patching to the latest .47 one

    I tried this and it work. However when I exited the game the login program came on automatically and the system started downloading a patch (1589MB). I think it's redoing the whole think from the beginning. We'll see as the download is very slow.
    Hope it doesn't screw up more of a good thing.

    Thank for the solution and I'll update when it's done.

    go to your cryptic folder

    in windows 7 it is
    C:\Users\Public\Games\Cryptic Studios\Neverwinter\Live

    open the folder cache
    delete all contents

    then open the folder .patch
    delete all contents

    then open the folder prepatch
    then open the folder piggs
    delete all contents

    restart you launcher and this will check and repatch, and SHOULD then allow your game to load all the way through.

    Good Luck"

    Found that in another forum page.

    Nope, Nope, Nope. Nothing is working. Uninstall, reinstall, delete cache as stated above, seriously pissing me off.

    I am having a similar issue. I was playing last night, did a character change and the connection timed out. When I tried to relog, I got the message "Fatal Error: Unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to the Patch Server: The connection was idle for too long." I have gotten that message so many times now I practically have it memorized. I have done all of the following without success: reboot computer; turn off computer overnight and try again in the morning; recycle router; send in a ticket (they say they have a high volume of tickets and it may be a while before they can answer, and there has not been anything in my e-mail since); uninstall and reinstall game; uninstall game and reinstall game again; uninstall game, clean registry, remove local prefs and _SWMWindowPosList.txt file and reinstall game; ask friends for help (we're all clueless); force the launcher to show all games and make *sure* it's trying to launch Neverwinter (it is); and threaten to cry - or worse, play a different game! But I want to play Neverwinter. *cry*
