What the **** is wrong with this... I've this issue from Lindvior update when i click "Play now" 1st i've this splash scrn http://prntscr.com/17gnr6 and later i got this scrn http://prntscr.com/17gnxv without any response... I cant open the game even...
I've done everything... Repair, check updates, even download new client and install again L2, nothing...:/ :(
We're still looking into the issue, but we have come up with a temporary work around that should enable you to at least get back to playing again.
To attempt the work around please follow the steps below:
1. Locate your L2.bin file by navigating to your Lineage 2 Installation folder. By default this file should be located in C:\Program Files\NCSoft\Lineage II\System
If you can't find it located here and you're not sure where you installed it to, you can open the NCSoft Launcher, right-click on Lineage II and select 'Properties.
From here you can view the Install Location.
2. Once this window is open we want to make sure you can see the file extensions. To do this click on 'Tools' at the top of the window, and then 'Folder Options'
Once the new window pops up click on the 'View' tab.
In the 'Advanced Settings:' box there should be an option to 'Hide extensions for known file types' make sure this is Un-checked.
Hit Ok.
3. Select the L2.bin file and hold down ctrl + C and then ctrl + V
This should create L2 - Copy.bin
4. Right-Click on the L2 - Copy.bin file you created and select 'Rename'
Change this to L2.exe
Once that is done, Right-click on the L2.exe file you created, and select 'Create shortcut'
Once created, move this shortcut to wherever you like and double click the short cut to run Lineage II.
Please let us know if this helps you resolve your issue.
We understand this is not a permanent fix, and it is not intended to be. Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding while we continue to investigate this issue.
If you have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
Simplest way, right click file, select rename, type l2.exe, when dialog shows saying you are changing type of file are you sure you want to do this, click yes and then you should be able to run it.
Sounds like you didn't follow step 2 and UNCHECK the hide extensions for known file types box in folder options. So whatever you rename, the operating system tags on .bin on the end.
If you are running windows 8 don't waste your time, it won't help. NCSoft doesnt' care about windows 8 users and have said as much for the last 7 months.
Not worth the hassle anymore and with all my toons being wiped this coming week since I can't log in I guess I will be freeing up several more gig on my hard drive.

first of all, it is almost impossible to run game with launcher (you can run it once after reinstalling launcher) on windows8, but if you change the extention of l2.bin to l2.exe, there is no problem in playing (at least with Windows 8 Enterprise N).
