just installed 64 bit windows 7 trying to reinstall sto... get to launcher where i enter password then a black box that just hangs...what now wise ones?
the receptionaist @ cryptic was pleasent helpful and in genral made me belive she truly wanted to help me resolve my issue...
I would make sure of 3 things... You have Internet Explorer updated. You have Java Installed, and Adobe Flash Player. All free downloads.
I would also make sure Windows 7 is completely updated. Everything else should be good. I've got it running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit without any issues.
Don't need Java nor Flash to play the game. Do need IE to operate the launcher, though wouldn't matter if you installed Windows 7 since it should come with IE8 anyways, which'll run the launcher without any updates in the first place. I place my bet on flaming walls, or some other shoddy windows 7 security issue.
Make sure the game was installed in the users\public\games directory. Windows 7 has issues with permissions in the program files directory that will prevent the game from working properly.

And the Cryptic launcher only ever uses the "32-bit" version, so that doesn't really matter.
