Opened a support ticket, but I wanted to bring this up here as well, in case someone's had a similar issue and found a fix for it. After installing the last patch, the Planetside 2 launchpad locks up right when its started, and I'm not able to get the game itself to start, or the game to patch. I've completely uninstalled Planetside 2, rebooted my computer, then tried to reinstall. However, the launchpad still locks up at the exact same spot - Right when the window opens. I've attached screenshots of what the launcher looks like when it locks up, and of task manager, showing running processes and their resource usage. The only way to close the launchpad is to manually end the processes. There are no processes running that haven't been running for the past few months when playing Planetside 2, or using my computer in general. System specs:
My launchpad also behaves wierd lately as it takes quite some time until the play button appears. SOE seems to have screwed up something with one of the latest patches I guess
