usmdesigner, Sorry for taking so long to reply but yes I have that issue too. I have tried twice and, like you, I get to the end of the first part where I must fight the mobs by that tree looking thing where strange symbols are floating and spinning all around. The difference with my bug is that there are no mobs at all…
I am also not able to get into Neverwinter since Elemental Evil went live (it seems that was the starting point). I get launcher, it tries to patch, I hit play, I get through first loading screen, then it freezes at the Neverwinter loading screen with a message at the botom left that shows "materials Files reloaded".…
