For a while now, it would take a very long time for the game to launch once I clicked engage. But at least it launched.
Now however, it will not load at all. I believe Arc is the culprit. When I click on the Arc client to launch it, I get about a second where I see the loading cursor, and then nothing. It doesn't show up in my task manager, nothing.
I tried repairing Arc, but the repair tool would not launch either.
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Arc, but the installer will not load either.
I tried installing through Steam, but I get an timeout error message every time I try that and nothing installs.
So needless to say it's pretty frustrating. And with the summer festival right around the corner, I would like to get this working.
I have tried all of the above as administrator and in compatibility mode. Rebooted my PC, all that jazz. Same effect.
I also discovered how much fun it is to even try and FIND the compatibility mode in Windows 10, but I digress.
Can anyone help with this issue? I have not submitted a ticket but I will be doing so as soon as I post this message.

I haven't even received an auto-reply to my support ticket. Looks like no summer festival for me this year.
I'm glad to see that it's not just me; the 94% mark is the same for me. Oddly enough, there are times when the loader reaches that point, and I notice that my modem slows down its activity; I can sometimes hit the <ESC> key, and it "breaks" the logjam, allowing the character to load.
The 30-second "SNR" problem reared its ugly head 2-3 weeks before Risa, but it has been replaced most of the time by the new loading problem. I had wondered if the ARC launcher was working, but the original Cryptic/PWE launcher was not, but now I can see that ARC is not helping, either. Cryptic obviously broke something; they'd better fix it fast, or this summer's event will be the worst ever...

just make a shortcut to your desktop and run it.
all ARC does is launch that file
I get the long, 'let me just look at all the files, while the internet does nothing' after every patch, that isn't just a server reset.
I've just patched, so now I can't get in
recently I've been getting the 95% pause before gameclient file stops working.
