Today all of a sudden the launcher won't start. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still no good. Any one else having this problem?

    ETA: Windows had an update last night. Could that have affected Vindictus? Any one know how to fix this?

    Yesterday i had a similar problem. The launcher stuck at loading but restarting it a few times solved the issue. While it was stuck it was reading from the disk, a few bytes every second and it didn't stop but it didn't load either for minutes. I also tried to start it as admin but that had no effect on it, it was still stuck.

    I'm using Windows 7.

    Launching fine here, and Windows did an auto-update yesterday, so I should have everything current. Have you tried just using the repair option in Steam/Vindi Launcher?

    It happens to me about once every 2 - 3 weeks. Rebooting windows seemed to fix every time.

    Happens to me about every other day and has for some time now. You have to shut it down via Task Manager and you also have to get rid of the icon still left in the System Tray by simply hovering your mouse over it after you shut it down. Give if a few seconds and try it again. I've had it continue to fail to load ~7 times before it finally loaded. The first time this happened I kept trying over and over and had stacked up a lot of icons in the System Tray. Then my account got locked and I had to go thru a process to unlock it before I could try again.
