Client not launching

[psyco59]

Couldn't find anywhere else to post this so here goes. I try to open the EU launcher. When I do so I get the whole updating EU window which downloads a client loader file. When this is done the window closes but the launcher doesn't open. I am using windows vista. Anybody else had this problem and know a solution?

After setting the launcher to admin privledges, you may have to go into the PE folder in your programs folder and manualy start the loader the first time. Then set that to having admin privledges. I had to do that when I first loaded EU on Vista, but it updates and opens without a hitch now.

Are you launching from a shortcut? If so, try to launch by double clicking ClientLoader.exe from explorer...

Don't ask me why, but fixed this problem for me on Vista...

EU runs in Vista, but not supported.

There is also a common issue regarding a crash to desktop (CTD) which happens when you are killed. This issue is resolved by deactivating the sound on your client loader's options dialog (not in game).

Apart from the above, start issues are usually an issue with the admin rights for the exe, easily resolved with a manual launch or adjustment of the exe's properties.
