I keep getting stuck in the loading screen almost every time I try and zone into a dungeon, skirmish or pvp. (I never had such issues until 3 patches ago) Sometimes it finishes loading me in after approximately 3 minutes, other times it crashes after 3 minutes and I get that feedback box that asks me to describe what I was doing when it crashed, however the box never stays up for more then a few seconds, so one cant leave any feed back either way.
When stuck in the loading screen, I still receive the game tips scrolling on the screen. I also see, on the top left of the screen, a note indicating it is patching files, normally it is 16 files and it takes about 3 minutes for the patch to finish, before I am (rarely) loaded into the zone or more frequently kicked to the windows screen with your ever present inaccessible feedback window.
This is happening to many players including myself. Started after last patch and now the instance patch server fails to load patch files while zoning into an instance.
happening to me.. just got to level 60.. trying to dungeon... every dungeon i go to it says Updating Files..... then imidiatly says Server not responding.. it will just lag there over 100 seconds then crash. this is stupid.
Honestly this is happening way too constantly. It doesn't even just happen to dungeons, but any change of map needs to update file; just varying load speed.
I'm guessing overseas countries are having issues attempting to connect to the server?

Same as blahl here. Can't get into Throne of Idris (level 38).
"Server not responding" and the counter just keeps rising, as it also says "Patching"
I'm tired of ALT+F4 to try to load into a dungeon or area. Guess I'm done playing for a while, this is pretty bad.

Any new map.
Seriously, just let us download the whole darn game, I don't care if it is 2-20gb bigger I don't want to download my maps from a non responding slow server every time I load a new area.
Or keep the way it is and add an option for a complete download right away.
New skirmishes, new dungeons, new questing zones, everything just leads to this horrible thing.

Nothing to add except a big +1. Neverwinter was rock-solid for the first 3 weeks, but something over the last couple patches has completely borked up the zone loading process. It takes 5-10 minutes to load any new area, if it loads at all. I typically get the "Server Not Responding" message and have to kill the program to get out.

Same problem, tried to load into Spider dungeon and got the whole "Patching 1 file" thing which is apparently still happening (very slowly 10-50kbs) but it's causing the loading screen to stall on just trying to start up the game now.

Open launcher, click Options, and disable on demand patching.
Download all the things.
No need to patch while loading in game.

I kinda got the same problem, I got my GWF level 44 and ever since I started playing this game I had no problems. Now I can login in my account http://prntscr.com/15fxcp and I press safe login http://prntscr.com/15fxgu and all the sudden I get this http://prntscr.com/15fxib and after 10 sec of "server not responding" i get timed out http://prntscr.com/15fxma , but the funny thing is that I can create new caracter on the same account and play it normaly, btw. I also tryed "normal" login like 100000 times, nothing works. Thanks!
You just saved this game for me, sir. Huge download, slow download, but hopefully worth it. Wish I could upboat ya.

Yeah this has been happening to me the last few days. Usually it takes about two minutes and I'll be good, but when I enter in a skirmish like just now, I've literally been sitting here for the last 8 minutes waiting. What's sad is I can hear combat and I'm getting money, but It just patching really slowly..I'm hoping they fix this because it's going to get old fast.
seems the patching is getting slower by the day, i started 2 weeks ago and i was patching on loading areas, at 3M/s but steadily dropped since, now im lucky to get 1k/s... and i have found it odd that it says server not responding counting up, when its patching, thus responding. thankfully its never failed for me, even at not responding for 9-10minutes - always eventually patched

As suggested, I disabled on demand patching and started downloading the whole thing - shame the download speed is horrible.
Same here. Epic Dungeon won't load due to patching file. Can't play my 60 LVL Droe anymore.
