by "the game window opens", you mean it gets as far as the intro movie? 

 

wild guess, but there isn't many things that can kill a running program, except maybe an overzealous Antivirus...

 

Also running w11. recentely reinstalled and haven't had to make any changes besides granting admin-rights + xp compatibility to the Net7config.exe.

it crashes before the intro movie

 

dont know how to grant admin rights or xp compatibilty

i was hoping to come back to this game but looking at the message boards it looks like they still having same issues as years ago

[jrichards]

Have to right click the exe and go to compat mode. Screenshot's in this post:

Same for me, after clicking play on the launcher the net7proxy runs ok but game never launches. Done all the steps and looked through countless pages of forms trying to fix this, compat, IP ok, client path to release/ client.exe. all ok. no errors. I'm at a loss, and am missing something. ??

Have you checked to see if its started as fully minimized (hover over task bar icons and see if a mini window of the launcher/game pop up),  right click on any window that pops up and select maximize. if needed.  also check your anti virus to ensure that its not seeing the game as unsafe.
