New launcher feedback and bugs thread.

[necrocon]

So, I'm only recently back, and trying to pull some friends into the game with me. It takes 5-10 minutes for the game to actually launch after I click the start button. That is NOT a good selling point to convince new people to play.

Can you give some more info please?
Your OS/CPU etc would be helpful.

[necrocon]

Windows 10, AMD 8350. Ask away, or I can probably email all the specs. I'm not sure what my buddies have off hand. Most of their stuff is within the last 3- 6 years... I think

ive been running neocronclient.exe with compatability mode for windows 8 for a while now because the client often wouldnt start up. Try that. And close the launcher!!! its burning ressources like hell

[necrocon]

Sadly that didn't change the load time. I do close the launcher though. I hadn't considered the amount of resources though.

do you have an old slow hard disk or sth xD? I got nc on on ssd on all my machines cuz its so tiny
But in general, nc feels way too cpu consuming for a game that used to run on ancient machines from the last century xD

[necrocon]

just a slow hard disk 7200 raptor 1 tb. The game itself runs just fine, it's that 5 minutes for going from the launcher to the game that's really annoying

just make a shortcut to neocronclient.exe on your desktop and use the launcher ONLY for patching

btw, one has to rightclick and then select update. If i do leftclick and select update it does nothing...
Will we ever get a launcher update xD??
