Launch Sequence

Often (one out of four times?) starting the game goes something like this:

(First launch)
1. Put in email / password
2. Game gets "stuck" on one of the accept/ok screens - cannot mouse click the button, enter does not progress.
3. Kill the launcher window.

(Second launch)
4. Put in email / password
5. Says already logged in [Exit]

(Third launch)
6. Put in email / password
7. Click through the accept/ok screens - but Select Server screen lists no servers, no buttons - there is a rendered "darker shaded" area to the left of the screen
8. Game says it will cannot be closed at this time - from window exit / from task manager - have to kill with extreme prejudice

(Fourth launch)
9. Put in email / password
10. Says already logged in [Exit]

(Fifth launch)
about 1 of 3 times repeats one of the above - but hopefully then you get in.


This can be very frustrating taking 10-15 minutes just to get into the game. Many of us with busy work/family schedules seek out L2 as a calming distraction -- I hope the quality / reliability of the launcher is something on NC's list of priority fixes - this is a very basic functional issue, no game balance complexities, etc.
