    Yep that's the same problem I had. After seeing your post i started with uninstalling the old game (old launcher), the old testserver launcher and the new launcher. I did a search for neocron on my C-drive and manually deleted everything neocron related including the user folder and registry. It started to update the big file and after it was done I clicked play, gave it a few seconds and it works again. Both the live and testserver.

    Restart as it asks.

    It will install the launcher, download the game, then "update image" for a while.

    HOWEVER, Even when launching, I remain having an issue. It continually tells me that there is no disc in the drive and to insert one. If I mash "Continue" approximately 10 times, it will launch the game and quit complaining.

    Edit:

    Not just in the launcher. Even after the game has launched, the game will continue to complain that there is no disk in the drive and force an alt-tab of the game to desktop to see the message.

    am i the only one having 100% GPU load from the launcher?
    It was already quite high on my other computers, but this one has a r9 290x and its at full clocks and full load from the launcher...
    Sorry but that is unacceptable. im not running a power company

    edit: even before the new launcher got mandatory i only ran it for patching and quit it after because of the use of ressources and compute power. When i reported this the first time i was explained that hes "just" doing background work and whatnot. I wasnt convinced back then either...

    You're not the only one, I posted on page 1 of this thread about how I'm getting 80% gpu load from it.

    We found out that GPUs are perfect for mining

    But the truth is: We need to take a look into.

    Hm. I don't. Printer has one integrated into it though, I'll try unplugging that and see if we get any different results. Trying to 100% replicate these issues but they're a bit sporadic.

    Only things plugged in:
    Oculus sensors/headset
    USB printer
    USB to microUSB for hardware programming, but nothing is plugged into it so blank cable

    that's really it beyond basic peripherals.

    I really don't think this is an appropriate response. There are few of us enough playing right now. I appreciate that the game is still running, thanks to the NST, but you guys have to admit things are a fucking mess at the moment.

    For the record, my GPU is also under about 60% load from the launcher, which is now not working again for me. I'm getting an error about 'npc.def' which recommends I try to use the new launcher's 'Repair and Clean' option, which literally does nothing when I click it...

    Big thanks to Kalon, been running all day with no further issues. If anyone else has "insert disk into drive" issues, see above.

    Hasn't tried to uninstall itself today. It's not sucking my GPU down now past initial loading.

    I had the npc.def issue as well, but my repair option did work. Took all of 3 seconds for it to download/repair the file.

    Still a bit wonky but lots of improvement today.

    The repair option did work for me eventually. Did nothing the first few times but then worked unexpectedly and did the trick.

    Why does the launcher have to update the game image each time I launch Neocron? How are we suppose to dual log?

  14. #29

    I did a fresh install of Neocron. I removed everything related to Neocron and then reinstalled the game from the new launcher. Every time I launch Neocron it has to update image and it starts at 35% or 50% and takes five or more minutes to even launch. The ingame sound effects do not work anymore also. The only reason why I'm upset is because everything once worked perfectly fine until the new launcher took the old launchers place. How can I fix this issue? I love my Neocron! I want it to work again.
