    turn ondemand patching on, that way the game just patches the dungeons when you enter it instead of when you log in. and you could try valadating the files... not sure if ether of these would work, but you can at least try ><''

    well i got 2GBs off it ><'' not sure how to get the rest sry.
    you could try downloading it again, then Copy the folder Cryptic Studios in C:\Users\Public\Games\
    then paste in back into the games folder, by doing the copy paste you are moving the files on the harddrive to a different place, which may help (encase you have a broken sector on your HDD).
    and once its copyed just delete the orginal

    It patches when it has new stuff that needs updated, whether in the game while you're playing (if you have on-demand patching on) or as you're logging in to play. It's not intended to be skipped -- otherwise a whole lot of people would get tired of waiting and never patch the game ever, which could bring up a slew of issues depending on what the patch contains.

    What's puzzling is that the patch is so huge; I haven't had a giant patch in a long time. Do you play every day? How frequently has it wanted to patch? You shouldn't have that much to patch unless it somehow hasn't been giving you patches up to now.

    well thanks for responding guys. firstly yes i play everyday for hours. last patch was small minor for the new event.. but seems like every month now i have to redownload there entire game over. i tried everything i could thing of to skip it but all it does is go from 7gigs to 5gigs. im not to sure how to post a pic otherwise i would of. if u can guide me as to how to that would be nice.

    and no this is the 4th time its just patched from scratch. how do i know its from scartch casue i ahve to readjust my montior and stuff when the game loads finally. last time my charc dissappeared and i still have 2 ggis to redownload before i could of gotten it back...
    after supporting this game with real money this is becoming annoying think i may just forget it,

    I would try clean install then... How much free space you have on the disk you installed Neverwinter to by the way?
