    This worked for me:

    Make sure Neverwinter is closed
    Right click the Neverwinter shortcut on your desktop
    Select "Properties" from the menu
    Make sure you're on the "Shortcut" tab
    Find where it says "Run" and from the dropdown menu select "Maximized".

    Performing necromancy to say that this fix does not work for me. I tried contacting customer support but they obviously don't care so I'm stuck with an awesome game that I can't play!!!!! :mad:

    Got it to work using this trick and at this very moment I have a huge patch going on. Patching to NW.5.20130911a.4! Really? I know...I just figure the game/launcher knows what its doing patching backwards and all.

    *** SOLUTION ***

    Right click the short cut on your desktop (or whereever it is) and choose properties. There is a drop box set to Normal Window. Change it to Maximized Window.

    You are welcome. Hace a nice day!

    Fast and Easy! TYVM for the time helping :)

    Hi everyone,

    We've seen some reports of the launcher being stuck minimized in the taskbar. We're currently looking into a fix for this, but here's a workaround for now (thanks, uglyjimmy!):

    1. Start Neverwinter
    2. Start Task manager
    3. Applications tab
    4. Right click on Neverwinter and press Minimize
    5. Right click again and press Maximize
    (Now launcher is there but Maximized over everything)
    6. Escape to close launcher
    7. Start Neverwinter and there is your launcher again, visible and in normal size.

    Thank you!


    I tried to move window, I tried to do the thing u said with the task manager and i even reinstalled the game! Nothing works! Can't u just at least fix the bugs before we enter the game...it is really disturbing...I'm trying for an hour now!

    Hi guys I'm new here and I'm having a problem where the GameClient starts up and loads for about two minutes. It says Loading and says "Material files reloaded" at the bottom left of the screen. After that it black-screens but I can still hear the games background music. I just downloaded and installed the game and I'm unsure why it's doing this.
    Sorry if I'm going off-topic, but I can't post a new thread :(

    My issue is quite similar. When I play on the Neverwinter shard, everything works fine. When I try to go to NeverwinterPreview, I have an issue launching the game. Everything works right up until I push the play button. It hesitates a bit and then totally disappears. Nothing in the tray. When I start task manager, it says the game client is running, but there is nothing in applications. I have to end the process before I can get back into "normal" Neverwinter. I've tried changing the properties of the shortcut, but that doesn't help either. I also tried the minimize/maximize before I hit the play button, but that didn't help either. I also just left it on maximize and same thing.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    since arc is being used

    go to the program files where the game files are located
    examplae"; c/programfiles/arc/nw/blah blah.....

    right click nw icon and create a desktop shortcut

    now try this
    right click the icon on the desk top > properties

    there is a dropdown window saying minimised change that to maximise

    now open nw thru the shortcut u've created

    the maximised window may appear a bit odd but be patient try logging in 2 or 3 times

    eh! viola....


    works like magic

    Anything to help me play the game again would be muchly appreciated.

    Data. Verifying files in the launcher may fix this issue. Animation_library/skeletons/chicken/skel_chicken.skel:

    it keep getting this error
