Squash Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) First off, you guys are doing a great job, keep up the good work! Now to my issue. I actually cannot launch the game right now in Windows 7 because when I start the Net 7 launcher I can't get the window to actually pop up. It's in the taskbar and when I mouse over it I can tell that it definitely launched the program (gives me the little thumbnail). I also looked in my task manager and it's in there so I know it's running. Essentially it's like it stuck in being minimized, so since I can never actually get the window to pop up, I can't ever launch the game. This is very recent as I didn't have this problem last night. I tried reinstalling the client and had the same issue. I tried uninstalling, restarting, and then reinstalling the client. In both cases the window popped up fine for the first client update, but as soon as the second client update came around the window doesn't actually pop up anymore. It's a pretty big issue for me since I can't actually get into the game right now and I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. Thanks! Edit: I can confirm that other programs come to the front fine and I have the same issue when I alt + tab to the Net 7 windows (still doesn't come up). Also, I have tried launching the Net 7 launcher in Windows XP (on another computer) and it launches fine. That leads me to believe that it is a Windows 7 issue.

Squash Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 [quote name='Slayerman' timestamp='1305815820' post='40899'] Shift - Right Click - and select restore / or maximise [/quote] Thank you for the tip. I actually discovered on my own that if I right click the thumbnail when it pops up and select Maximize (the same as shift+rt click the task) then it comes to the front and creates a full-screen window. The odd thing is when I do the same and click on restore the window disappears and won't come to the front again. In any case, I believe we have discovered a work-around for this issue, but it does seem to be something that changed in the client with the last update because I have not changed anything on this computer except for updating the client and that is when the issue started. Thanks for the help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hey Kyp, thanks for the official reply. I think something in the most recent update actually fixed it because now it doesn't happen anymore (I just updated it about 10 minutes ago). So, well done I guess? Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I get the same issue on my vista laptop from time to time and it usually sorts itself out next time I reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 There were two suggestions, both did not work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
