So with another sigh, I uninstalled Neverwinter. Kill again, rebooted the computer, retried… same thing. Great! Loading screens started… Cryptic screen, then Neverwinter screen… then… it stayed there. Not entirely sure why, but I guess the patch files were saved on my computer? I didn’t have to wait 3 hours for the patch to download this time. So with a sigh, I uninstalled Neverwinter and went back to Steam for a fresh download. No dice.ĭidn’t look like there’s a way to fix this. Except… wait, game launcher Fatal Error? Retried half a dozen times, even deleted the Steam appcache folder twice, which always resolved STO game launcher crashes. Tuesday night, patch’s all done! Time to boot it up again and see if the cursor problem cleared itself. Fine, I left it downloading this second patch overnight. Surely restarting the game would clear this problem, right? Wait, there’s ANOTHER giant patch that needed to be downloaded? There might have been a new major update that was being rolled out for Neverwinter this weekend, so maybe my timing was just bad. Took me fifteen minutes to fumble my way to properly exit the game. I couldn’t click any buttons in the UI anymore I had to move the visible cursor arrow a few inches to the left and hope the invisible ACTUAL cursor was landing on the right boxes. Maybe changing the graphical settings? Ah, shouldn’t have done that, because afterwards the mouse cursor position became messed up. How do I zoom in closer? The mousewheel didn’t work like it does in STO. Monday night, patch’s all done! So I started the game up and created a test character. That’s another 7 Gb, so yes, I wasn’t playing that night. Oops, looked like there’s a huge patch that needed to be downloaded too. A 9 Gb download later, game launcher opened. Eventually I figured out the shortcut it created was somehow pointing to a Steam startup, so I remapped the link to the. It seemed to have installed just fine, but when I tried to start the game… nothing happened. On Sunday night I went to Steam and downloaded the Neverwinter installation file. I didn’t end up getting to play a lot, because the installation and startup process had been absolutely painful. Since Neverwinter is also published by Cryptic, I hoped maybe the interface and presentation would be similar to STO (much like Champions Online was) and ease the learning curve. I’ve been looking to possibly diversify a bit from Star Trek Online, so a few days ago I thought I’d try Neverwinter.
