Troubleshoot the Launcher

Run as Administrator

Rule #1: If you have installed the Launcher/Game on C: you always need to run the launcher as Administrator, no exceptions. No Sir/Ma'am, No Exceptions. ALWAYS.
Failing to do so, will cause additional problems further down the road.

  • Right-Click on the shortcut or on the application itself
  • Select "Run as Administrator"


Troubleshoot the Neocron Client


Game has worked before, but stopped working

Removing models.tmp

Repair and Cleanup

One quick fix might be to remove models.tmp from the game directory.
Default location is: "C:\Games\Neocron Evolution 2.5\models.tmp"


Repair and Cleanup
If this fails, next step is to do a "Cleanup and Repair"

  • Start the launcher (As Admin if you have installed on C:)
  • Select Repair and Cleanup

Note that this step will remove all files not being a part of the default installation of Neocron.
RPOS mods and similar will be removed as a result of this.

Check logfiles

LogExampleGameClient

If the problem still exists, please check logfiles and see what is going on.
Default location for logfiles are "C:\Games\Neocron Evolution 2.5\logs"
They will often tell you what is wrong.


If the logs tell you files are missing as the example, please try to repair the game.
Last resort if repair does not work, remove and re-install the game.
Remember to run the launcher as Administrator if you are installing to C:

Game has never worked

Do a repair as described above
If the repair does not work, please do a fresh install of the game.
