    When i click on game client the window shows up and i put in my password and login then when it loads, instead of going to full screen (or any screen) it goes down to the task bar and when i try to click on it to make it bigger it does nothing. If i hover over the the neverwinter N in the task bar I can see the character select screen in a very small window that shows up right near task bar usually reserved for seeing what web pages you have open.
    Is there any suggestions that you can think of for this?
    Pleas help!!!
    Thank You

    updated the neverwinter.exe file, per step 7. no change. guess you had to be in as soon as the servers came up for that to actually do anything. now, it does nothing different.

    I have the same problem/
    I read and taken all actions at http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?162831-Launcher-issues-Read-the-first-post-for-solutions.

    Even with new Neverwinter.exe still Lancher starts and stays closed in task bar.

    All worked well untill server was taken down for AH/AD fix. System had no updates or patches since then. Again NW2 was working well till it was down for scam Fix. Now launcher starts but does nothing but starts a DL of about 60-120K then sits in task bar and can not be opened.

    After trying all of the options above, I was still getting "error code : 36 file was locked that could not be open for writing"
    I found that you could delete the following files:

    C:/Users/Public/Games/Cryptic Studios/Neverwinter/Live/GameClient.ex
    C:/Users/Public/Games/Cryptic Studios/Neverwinter/Live/crypticError.exe

    Your file location my vary. Good Luck, you may need it.

    I've been trying to get in the game for the last hour. It lets me log in and load, but I can not do a single thing once it loads. This is getting really annoying. Why is the game having an issue this long after the patch was supposedly complete?

    Another issue I just had with the Launcher trying to update and it was locked. This was the one I downloaded from the link above. To fix this issue I was able to restore my Neverwinter.exe to an earlier version (good thing windows saves backup versions automatically). Not sure why the files are coming up "Locked" though.

    Can some one help me?

    I have download the game, and launch it. I can log in, but then i cant play it because the launch screen is patching.
    It is patching now for a half hour but dont do anything. Is this because server is down or something? I see the server status is green..

    maybe some one can help me with the anwser.

    I have the same problem like this... What should we do? Actually game runs normally before the emergency maintenance, but after the maintenance problems appear. I can log-in but it stays at the launcher screen and loading forever...
    Please help!

    I am also having patching issues, I keep getting the same "Error 36: a file was locked that could not be open for writing"
    unfortunately, I run linux on my computer and I play though the use of the program Crossover, which for the most part has worked for me, aside from occasional crashing and some input lag (i'm crossing my fingers that a new video card will fix the input lag

    I'd try this suggestion but when i go into my virtual drive and find the appropriate path to where the files mentioned are:
    /home/wifey/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/wifeydrive/drive_c/users/Public/Games/Cryptic Studios/Neverwinter/Live
    the only file in that directory is a folder named "piggs"
    halp?

    *edit* okay so i have found out during some snooping that that was actually a directory from a previous attempt to play neverwinter, through the progrram playonlinux.

    the directory that the Crossover program uses is different, the command that my shortcut runs is
    /home/wifey/.cxoffice/Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter/desktopdata/cxmenu/Desktop.C^3A_users_crossover_Desktop/Neverwinter.lnk

    so I go to that directory, and the only file in the "Desktop.C^3A_users_crossover_Desktop" folder is the neverinter.lnk file.

    *sigh* so i do some more digging and the closest I can come up with is
    /home/wifey/.cxoffice/Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter/drive_c/users/public
    but there is no games folder.... i dunno, I'm totally lost.

    basically this, on a loop, and i trimmed a lot of the "retrying"s

    *edit*
    So the only way i fixed it... was while it was running and trying and failing to patch I opened up the file browser in root and found the "crypticerror,exe.deleteme" and killed it with fire... and then bam there goes the fill screen loading screen for crypticm and then a ridiculously long loading screen for neverwinter... and account authentication ticket failed... whatever, at least then it lets me log in and play.

    my launcher has no play button. and if there's supposed to be a patch button, it doesn't have that either. on the lower left hand side, where it's supposed to show the progress of the patch, it just shows me the launcher version. i have no way of starting the patch, or even playing the game. help please!

    Hello! This is a bit off-topic but I don't know where else to post. I am currently downloading the client and I want to know how to pause it. I'm kinda afraid that it will start over again if I just close it. Please advise. Many thanks in advance

    Got the same thing today it seems the launcher has been hacked cause when i look in the folder for the game it has changed and now has an auto delete code added to it.
