I'm having a similar problem.
I took a leap into the Rift, my game froze, and suddenly I can not get back in. First I was getting a .Net Framework error detailing that a FileNotFound exception was occuring. It couldn't find the patcher. So I decided to reset the patcher and try again (made sure to close the open processes) and still was getting the same error.

In the end, I did a complete reinstall of the game and now it is simply telling me it cannot find SilentPatcher.exe.args in the Horizons folder, even though SilentPatcher.exe is sitting right there. =/ I get the same error wether I try to launch from the website or HorizonsLauncher.exe (which is the main one I use).

Someone toss me a bone here?
I did recently update my .net framework to the latest XP compatible version, but I didn't have any trouble until the game crashed just now.

We'd really like to encourage anyone having trouble to contact us at http://support.istaria.com - however, I suspect if you use the new launcher, you will be able to get into game without issue. The new launcher is called patcher.exe and can be run from your game install folder.

If you don't see patcher.exe in your game install folder, please download this zip file and extract to your Istaria game install folder:

do i take that and put it in to hr foler ?? "juset like to amke sure i do it right ."

You should put it in the /horizons folder. Or /istaria if that is what you have it installed in, I think.

You know, I'll have to make a note to do that in the future. X3 I'm just so dang used to forums for all my troubleshooting...

In any case, the new launcher does not seem to be working for me either. Even off a reboot without doing anything else, it claims it can't access launcherprefs.lopt because another process is using it. I have to run off to work now, but if I can't get it working when I get home I'll submit a ticket.

i found that

Redirect the launcher client shortcut from horizonslauncher.exe to launcher.exe - problem fixed.

was true, and i had to keep telling my computer to trust the stuff being launched because it did not have a signature or something or other that the computer was looking for. happily, it's working now! :-)

Yeap - similer problem here on two pcs. Oddly the third PC that I use is running happily. Have tried both old and new launcher and get the same error log - seems to be problem connecting into silent patcher

Did a recovery on hard disk and rerun horizons - now seems to be working OK. Thx for the info anyways.

I ended up with a fresh install of the game. I installed the new Lancher patch. Put the 383.1 fix on top of it. Put my own shortcut on my desktop, directly to Launcher.exe.

I can run on Blight and Chaos. I am able to log into existing characters. I am able to create new characters on Chaos after a short 'hang' period.

I have the patch feature disabled.

This is the only way I could get it to run.

*HUGS*
