How cool is that? Now i can start NC on my very very very (....) old laptop with a Pentium M 1,7 Ghz CPU and a ATI X300 GPU. Good enough for doing some business on p1.

It wasn't possible with the old installer. I've spent hours! -_-


Excellent work guys!

Second installation:

Your OS - Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit
Installation language selected - English
Which of the following options did you have selected and which ones did you


Run DirectX Install []
Run C++2010SP1 Runtime Install []
Run Neocron as Administrator []
Install Neocron 2 to connect to the Public Test Server [x]
The install directory - C:\Games\Neocron 2.2 CE Test Server

• Perform a file check - are there any broken files? - No
• Start NC - Does it prompt you for the GFX setting? - Yes
• Does the cool NC music play? - Do not know since I never got in to the game.

When I started the game client the first time and the GFX settings window showed up and I did set all the settings and pressed OK, the client crashed I restarted the client and all looked fine. Could not connect to the test server though.

Third installation:

I did uninstall the previous installation. When I did that it did point to uninstall the C:\Games\Neocron 2.2 CE Test Server not the C:\Games\Neocron 2.2 CE that I wanted to uninstall.

So I did uninstall the C:\Games\Neocron 2.2 CE Test Server and then manually the C:\Games\Neocron 2.2

And reinstalled the Neocron 2.2 CE

When should that happen? I always go into the options of a launcher (if it has one) to set them myself.

I should note that it took three full minutes between clicking on the installer and something actually happening.

I always run as admin

Not yet, at a later date.

Check performed flawless

•Start NC - Does it prompt you for the GFX setting?
I wasnt prompted for any settings after running the launcher however after launcher loaded I went to configuration and started configuring how i like.

•Does the cool NC music play?
I did not get any music with the launcher or installer, infact after running the game where you log in and select characters i didnt get any music that i usually get.
