Launcher hangs and crashes

I'm all installed and patched but when I click "Play neocron 2" the loading screen appears, hangs and eventually crashes.

Check out this thread if using windows 7/vista may be of some help

This sounds a little like the "Chrome bug", if you've got Google Chrome running in the background either close it or it's flash process and the game should continue to load.

I had thought it might be the "chrome bug" as a friend of mine had that but I don't use chrome and have checked that it's not running silently in the background at all.

winamp, vlc and unity games/apps also cause the "chrome bug", or afaik every other game that uses scaleform.

I've literally closed everything down to bare minimums and still have the same issue.

Have you moved Neocron from Program Files?
Also, I doubt this will help you, but I did found a strange occurrence where I closed Firefox, but the process was still open, and Neocron wouldn't start until I ended the Firefox process.

ye, that's an option in firefox that preloads a section of the browser so it starts quicker when u click the button.
