    Here is the applog

    The timeout needs to be decreased imo, it can sometimes sit there doing nothing for ages it seems before it picks up again, also why does it redownload that video over and over? Cannot it not retreive a cached copy from that Inet folder or where ever it saves it?

    edit: while my connection isn't the best it never fails to download files, it can timeout occaisonally but the files can always be resumed and are always none corrupted. So that launcher probably isn't hash checking those files correctly considering the file it just redownloaded is identical to the one it was replacing, i find it hard to believe the exact same cock up could occur twice.
    I have the same issues you have as well. It basically does its own thing each time I start it up. It says things are missing or corrupted. Now, what I found works is install the old launcher. Copy some of those files over to the new launcher that your having issues with and it will bypass everything and work. You just got to play Dr. Frankenstein with the new launcher. It doesn't matter how many times you uninstall the thing and clean your registry files or even place it on another drive. It just doesn't work right period for some people. Then you get to the point where you get frustrated. Just play Dr. Frankenstein on the thing I'm sure you will get it to work. I know they spent a lot of time on the new launcher but the old launcher worked no matter what. There was never an issue with it regardless if it was harder for them to update the game or not. It was a solid working launcher. Old is good. It works. Mine right now is constantly trying to download the sound.pak and a month ago it said terrain.pak. It's something different each month and cycles through the same files over and over and never fixes or replaces them. Then it says it can't connect to Pegasus because it times out. Then you take down your "security" like firewalls and uninstall AVG and all that good stuff. It will still do the same thing. I don't know if you have the same bug I do but I have three copies of the Neocron icon on my launcher and its only installed in one place. I constantly sit on updating image for hours. I could go to sleep right now and it will still be stuck there. What would truly fix this issue is if they made it so the new launcher was an option and not a mandatory thing. Problem solved. Not everything is about looks its about working code that communicates correctly. But with that said mines working now. As messed up as it looks its working. Copy and paste the files it thinks are bad or can't download my friend. With that said I'm not even going to ask for a SLI profile for this game. That would be too amazing. But, I bet there is a way to rig it. I may try to figure that out.
