The server is still up too like there is nothing wrong -.- This is gonna be beyond a 14 hour patch this go. I seem to recall a little line in the patch notes about crash on startup fix.....well....I wasn't crashing on startup before this patch. Bang up job Cryptic bang up job.
Exactly the problem I'm having. The launcher says "Connecting to account server" then just quits after a minute.
Nevermind. Apparently some genius thought it would be fun to use four API routines from UXTheme.dll (which Windows 2000 doesn't have). Thankfully a long time ago someone made a 2k-compatible version for just such an event.
Now I'm able to get to the login window.

d3d9? What is this that everyone is speaking of? It's a cmd right? Where do I need to insert it?
Launcher options, scroll down, insert the command at the bottom. This is for those having directx issues. I couldn't get past the neverwinter loading screen when connecting to preview until I used this code, I was having the same problem now on live. I put that line in the launcher options and im in the game now.
EDIT: I got in also without it, so I don't know anymore. In any case, giving a try if you're having trouble getting past NW load screen won't do any harm.

Thank you I will try that. I went and did a search CMD on my comp just to see if my Dir-x was working and updated and it is with no issues so I know now it's on their end. I will certainly try that and *keeps fingers crossed* it works for me ^_^
here is what I did to fix the issue I was getting which was the display driver stoped responding error
1. I went here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2665946 used the auto fix it tool.
it did't solve it so I then did this
2. I then closed arc went to directory for neverwinter opened the launcher application I then clicked options in top right scrolled down to bottom in command line added -d3d9 launched game it no longer gave the display driver error but game client stoped responding I closed it out and tried to open it again this time I left it running went took a shower came back and was at char select screen and was able to login hope this helps
Edit warning do not tab out once in game the game works I can change char etc but if I tab out or hit alt enter to go into windowed mode it crashes. also if you launch in windowed mode you can't click on anything in game.
-d3d9 actually worked for me. Took quite a long time to load, but it did. So now to play I have to load in safe mode with -d3d9.

My husband is still unable to get it working on the desktop. My laptop had no issues. Nothing we have tried with the desktop has worked at all.

Mine still isnt working on PC im becoming impatient.
I already have to verify all files and play in safe mode to not get the endless loading cycle, now the game just plain doesn't load at all. I am tired of having to jump through hoops.
