Patch 162, Game Menu and Vista

[naimex]

In Vista I managed to get patch 161 to work, after a few compatibility settings.

But since the patch 162 was applied, my game freezes and stalls on the evolution 2.2 loading screen, just before the game menu.

Anyone else experiencing this? and / or has a solution?

I'm running a file integrity check as I write this.

EDIT:

file integrity check found no errors.

Most likely some firewall or router blocking the NC client.
Could be Antivirus software as well.

It worked yesterday, and it worked at midnight.

But it didn't work after patch 162 went on this afternoon.

Maybe you need to go through and redo the compatability options since the client.exe after patch might not be recognised as the same file from before by your OS.

didnt work, ive removed the client.exe from the folder (and moved it to anohter folder), so now im letting the file integrity download the client.exe, and then ill see what it has to say.


edit:
didnt work either, had a few attempts where i got to a white crashscreen instead of the evolution 2.2 loading screen, but then i put on compatibility settings again, and now its stuck on the evolution 2.2 loading screen again.


Any suggestions for what else to try?

try running it all under administrator.

I can boot to Vista a bit later and try myself. I'll be back with results.
