    I also am having the same problem, i unfortunately had to interrupt my download and restart it entirely from scratch the next day as i could not find any way of resuming download. when it finished downloading, i installed it, patched it and allowed it through the firewall kasperkey AV. it launches the game but freezes at the first 5% of loading. any suggestions?

    Same problem.
    I get past the Cryptic loading screen, get to the Neverwinter loading screen and there it freezes a short while after I get the message that the GameClient.exe is not responding.

    I take it nobody knows how to fix this ?

    LOL!, Kinda hard to fix somthing in your PC that isnt wrong....
    My guess is PWE needs to fix it cause i had a 27 cleric but the constant crashes made the game hard to keep playing and have fun. I could play for a few hours fine then all of a sudden crash city.
    Good luck on that! I'm walkin away.

    I have a version of this problem, it seems. I can get in-game and play a while, then at some point, it just mysteriously 'stops.' I'll be playing and the screen goes black. The audio usually seems to continue in whatever loop it was currently playing. If you just sit and wait, that's it. If you click the mouse, press a key or whatever, the screen then changes to all white, and the infamous Windows warning box pops up with 'Gameclient.exe is not responding.'

    I honestly can't really cite anything specific that seems to cause this. Sometimes it happens when I'm in the middle of combat, sometimes I'm just walking around. I've had it happen when I was standing in place, browsing missions in the Foundry window. (And I'd been doing so for some minutes, before it just decided to crash.) I can't find any rhyme or reason to it.

    Only thing I can think of is that it does seem to happen a great deal more frequently when I'm adventuring in the Tower District.

    I'm running Windows 7(64) here, 6GB RAM, GeForce GTX 570 video card with the 314.22 drivers.
    Live long, and prosper.

    Anyone found a fix yet? This is different than the loading screen hang right before entering.

    I got the 'not responding' screen from Windows last night on my first login after the patch. I looked in task manager and gameclient.exe was busy, eating up 25% cpu. I clicked wait for program to respond twice and it finally finished loading.

    BUG

    I am getting the same issue now sine today's patch post ToD launch. Either the game client crashes during loading, at or after splash screen, or I get to "Connecting to account server. Please wait" and it times out. This has happened around thirty times in a row, with reboots, and restarts. The game worked fine yesterday.
    Some things are meant to remain lost.

    I am having a similar problem... I make it to the Cryptic loading screen but the loading bar never shows up, and after a short while it will say "GameClient.exe is not Responding".

    Does anyone have a solution? Anyone please.

    I can open the ARC home page. When I press play and it goes to the Cryptic download, the GameClient.exe has stopped working screen comes up. Any ideas?
    Where do I find any fixes in this Thread?

    I'm in the same boat. Game patched and then I couldn't play anymore. I even did an uninstall and it still says that GameClient.exe has stopped working.

    I've tried everything as well. It looks like, from the age of this thread, that this is a recurring problem with the game client.

    It would appear this game is buggy as hell right after a new patch...

    Same problem go out of town for spring break and come back and the patch broke the game. I've done a full repair along with reinstalling Direct X to deal with the other issue. Nothing seems to work, I'm suprised as it seams The devs are completely unaware or could care less about fixing the issue. Running a new rig thats not even 3 months old on all pretty much new Tech GTX 970 Strix 16 gigs of ram etc etc.. Your customers shouldn't have to beg to play your games.

    Well before opting to reinstall I tried the repair option. Neither work what ever they did with the patch on the 9th the game is busted. I tried a full reinstall and it still hangs up when trying to login. Guess my journey in NE is over till the devs take a active approach towards acknowledging that they are trying to fix there product.

    I worked fine this morning, but yesterday and today in the afternoon, it took forever to get on. I am on West Coast USA. I have changed my settings to safe mode. As of now, I can not even get the launcher to load the gameclient.

    This thread has been brought back from the dead so many times, I'm not even sure if it resembled an undead anymore. Never the less, some local clerics have banded together and finally put this pour thing back to rest.

    Safe travels,
