    Not sure that is a launcher issue, sounds like you either have a version conflict issue with some of your software or you could have a bug on your computer.

    The launcher does not spam me whatsoever, so it leads me to believe this is isolated with you. However you can always try the Neverwinter forums to see if the issues is more wide spread.

    No but ever since I installed it my Norton keeps popping up an alert for 6913D6C6.tmp

    Did a google search and no info at all.

    It is because the launches uses an internet browser to display content. And if you have spyware/viruses that causes pages to redirect then that will happen. Which can also cause norton to display messages. You need to scan your computer for spyware.

    If Norton identified it they should have a definition on their website somewhere.

    I don't get spammed with web pages or anything. I just keep getting the 6913D6C6.tmp alert. It happens at random times, even when I'm not using Neverwinter. I will try a spyware scan as you suggest though, thanks.

    P.S. @Chelan

    That's the odd thing there is no definition on the website.

    I would look for something other then mcaffee or norton antivirus. They are often targeted due to their larger user base. I would go with a lesser known anti-virus company imo.

    I have used Norton for years and this is the only persistent issue I have not been able to find a solution to. Like I said I will run a full scan and a spyware scan and see what happens.

     can you post more information such as the full pathname of the file?  The file could be a random name but more information would be better.

    From what I understand Cryptic's patcher uses standard Windows browser plugins to power it, which means Internet Explorer. If your Internet Explorer is loaded with spyware you can expect it to be getting pushed through Cryptic's patcher as well
