I'm having problems with the patcher that opens when you quit - it downloaded about 87% and froze, so I quit it. Next time it ran (and every time after), it downloads about 17kb and then quits. I've tried "run as admin", but it makes no difference. The version number is the older one, not the one it's attempting to download.
Now I think even the patching on startup is failing, because it looks like it's trying to patch and about to download, then the launcher quickly exits and the game starts.

Launcher updated to latest version, but post-play patching still quits at 17kb...

Nevermind - trashed the "prepatch" folder and restarted the launcher - pre-patch download started right up.
For those curious, the location is C:\Users\Public\Games\Cryptic Studios\Neverwinter\Live\prepatch
FWIW, the download completed just fine, but the next time I quit playing, it did the same thing it did before, starting a download and quitting at 17kb. It seems like the download is still intact.
I downloaded the game the other night, woke up saw it finished downloading and closed it cuz i wasnt gonna play it yet. Opened it later that day and it downloaded all over again, all 5.5gigs. I let it finish and played it that night just fine then went to sleep. Now i get on and open it and have to download it all again......just uninstalled it and disabled on demand patching, now its 7.7 gigs -_- I hear even on demand patching being disabled doesnt solve this problem for people? Anyone have a solution at all? Sigh this is just awful
So is this safe to download or not? Kinda sounds like it's not a good idea to try from what I am reading. The client has so many issues that are keeping players from playing as it is, having something like this that's inconsistent or tested with too small of a test set is really compounding the issues.
Thanks for the info. That does not sound like the intended functionality. We will keep an eye out for more reports of this and will triage accordingly.
You guys cant even get the patcher to work properly how do you expect us to even hope for the dev team to make even the slightest change without causing more issues. This so frustrating it makes me sad. And gives me no hope for the future of this game.
After reading more posts it sounds worse then i even thought after page 2. What a joke this is What a ****ing joke.
And to HAMSTER more people off you dont come back on or someone at least to say anything.
And you OP really think anything new added to this game will be anything better then the same HAMSTER like this. We still are waiting for stuff to be fixed from openbeta and launch and that first event.

So did this actually fix this speed/patching issue? Is there a bug in this pre-patch thing that actually makes patching 100x slower?
