Game Crash on startup

Kinda wished this had been fixed with today's patch, whatever changed for the graphics on Tuesday messed it up for me so it freezes at the Neverwinter Splash screen and has to be closed out.

I can get past it using a weird-as-hell workaround but it's all very annoying and troublesome...

    Mage, our flash players are up to date as well as our graphics drivers. It is an issue that happens to quite a few people. But we have yet to find a useful solution.

    EDIT: Flash Players are definitely up to date as I recently was having problems with browser video streaming and manually uninstalled and reinstalled all that.

    What I have to do is start up in Safe Mode(hadn't had to do this since the SH update), with the '-d3d11 Enable 0' line

    From there once in go to options, Display

    Set to Fullscreen

    Change Resolution to 1920x1080, this this causes the cursor to be restricted to an 800x600 area in the upper left-hand corner...

    Drag the options menu to said corner so I can interact with the rest of it

    Change to Windowed Maximized mode

    Change BACK to Fullscreen

    And now I can interact with the entire screen.

    Dairiuschi3, You could also maximize the screen while in the Character Selection screen. But still we're limited to safe mode only

    I similarly have a problem with the character selection screen

    I run fullscreen, but after the cryptic splash screen and shader loading, once im on the char selection screen, my mouse cursor still behaves as if the window isnt in windows 'focus.'

    I have to alt-tab "INTO" the background, my mouse cursor changes to the NW cursor and the graphics start behaving normally.

    almost as if NW starts something else, loses focus.. ? meh. its hard to describe.

    graphics have been a mess for awhile now. =X

    What weirds me out is for the longest time I had to run it in Safe Mode, just how things worked when I joined up, along with the '-d3d11 Enable 0' line, then SH comes out and I can't even log on for over a week without some compatibility BS that makes the game practically unplayable.

    Then a patch comes out that fixes that, but goes further and fixes whatever was making me use Safe Mode in the first place... and then this new patch comes out, and it's broken for me again :/

    In the launcher, go to options, and at the bottom add command line -d3d9 , then save... fixed it for me last time and this time. At least I didn't have to go to safe mode and don't have to do it every time I log in

    I'd tried that before, and found the -d3d11 Enable 0 was the one I needed to get in- admittedly I haven't tried the other one since Strongholds came out, so maybe whatever they changed broke one method while opening the other for me. I dunno...

    I'll give it a shot next time I log in, recent changes have kinda killed my desire to play a lot of the time. 2 hours farming dungeons across 3 toons for 18k AD when I used to be able to make 28k in one dungeon hour(45 minutes actually) off 4 toons, when I see those numbers it just makes it all feel a little pointless... and then I have to log off for a while.
