it happens to me too, juste close it and start the game shouldnt block you from playing at all.
go into your neoncube folder and open the config file
change
/patches/patchlistTS.txt
to
/patches/patchlist.txt
save then try again
boo sry i cant edit
ehh i have the last patcher that 1 released on march
if you have a firewall blocking it that might be your problem because what's happening is your computer isn't communicating properly with the web host to get the file required. So try turning off your firewall long enough to patch.
still giving m error i made a new ro folder and i put it i erased the neoncube.exe.manifest (a friend told me that) and i change the patchlistTS for patclist
but
ERROR i dun know what is happening
well only other thing is to have your friend send you their grf after they patch =/.
The antivirus was the culprit, turning it off patching and turning it on worked
