    You downloaded the wrong client, from a different company. That is the Malaysian client, for that region.

    Uninstall and completely delete that version off of your computer.

    Then go here: http://www.perfectworld.com/download/client

    And come back here to the forums and read up if you have any problems.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    Im having promblems with extracting all the data packs, i got the background and icon and installer etc, but cant get data packs 1-4 it just freezes my computer. Also when i tried the direct download it gave me an icon that looks like a computer window that opens up a command screen but closes it it like 1 second. i have stayed up for 24 hours trying everything listed in the forums. :(

    ok i figured it out that icon that brought up the command promt window, i had to use 7-zip to extract the files from it even though i couldnt see them. TY ryuuzaki without your guide i would be screwed :D

    Hello. I downloaded the client from the website on the complete download, not pice by piece. When it gets to 93% it disconnects and when I try to connect again to dowload the rest of it, the downloader keeps disconnecting from server. Any one knows if this is by server maintenance? or just a bug?

    Thanks.

    You're getting that error because you're trying to extract an exe. Thats not possible. All you need to do is double-click on it, and the application will open up.

    Actually, now since I finished re-downloading the game, I think its a whole different problem. I looked for the file you have a problem with. It turns out it is a 7-zip file listed as a exe. I had no clue the such files were listed as exes. I think your problem is that you don't have a program such as 7-zip. If you don't then download it at this link: http://www.7-zip.org/. But if you do have the program already, or something similar to it, then I have no idea.

    Yep tried with 7-zip and WinRAR both...same results:(
    Guess I'll go throw my money at another game until something is fixed.
    Would love to spend some time with this game but I have 128mB DSL so it takes 12 hours just to download and since the moderators on here have the same responses saved on their clipboards for everyones individual problems and no time to respond here guess I'll go play something else for a bit and see if they have it figured out down the road.

    Then either there is something very wrong with the file you downloaded or both of the programs you're using. Or you're doing something wrong. But if not, I don't know what then. But if you have that slow of a connection, then even if you managed to succesfully download the game, you'll end up lagging alot most likely.
    Nevertheless, if you wanna go on to other games, then thats fine. But if you had problems with extracting a file here, you'll probably have problems with other games as well. Or any other compressed file for that matter. I doubt the game exe itself had anything to do with it...but then again its not impossible.

    Hello all.

    I have downloaded via the DIrect Download tool the game installation file a week ago.

    Mind you its an exe NOT a zip as the thread says.
    the direct download results in Perfect_World_International.exe (a self-extracting 7-zip archive)

    Sadly for a week I did not had the time to install and try this fine game.
    today at last I had time and I run the application that created a folder with the installation data for the game.

    BUT at the end of it I got a message that: CRC failed in 'Perfect World International\data1.pck'. File is broken.
    well I thought I still should install and let the updater take care of the inconsistency but - ALAS - the installer would fail - with or without the verify option - not liking the broken file at all.

    Please tell me there is a way to fix that instead of downloading again the whole thing - it took me about 8 hours to.
    As last resort it might be possible to provide a link to all dataX.pck files ?
    As I saw in this thread people get errors in any of those packed files.

    Thanks in advance and I hope I can meet you all in-game soon

    hey everyone.

    I've been having this problem where after the client is installed and I run it, while it's updating files it'll freeze on one file, then a window pops up saying "file download appear error" and asks you to retry.
    I hit retry, but it just continues to fail.:(
    I tried re-installing the client, and it got a little farther but then freezes and starts to fail again, this time on a different file.

    I've been trying this all day and it's getting extremely annoying:mad:. If anyone knows what to do, please tell me, before I starting punching my screen o_O
