    I just finished downloading the game and i have a Perfect World Desktop Icon that brought me to the patcher the first time i clicked it. While i was there it said that an unknown error had occured and that it was "Uninstalling" becuase of it. Now when i try to get to the patcher, nothing happens even tho the icon/button on my desktop and in my files is still there. Do i need to re install the entire game? :confused:

    Ok so maybe I'm not too computer savy but I downloaded everything extracted the files. Opened the Install and then it says File route can not be created? "The Destination File could not be created"

    Search zipped folder extractor on google, you'll get some results that can help extract the files.

    Okay right after I finished installing, I ran the game. The first thing that came up was the auto-patch downloader... my problem is the font for all the options was impossible to read, so I just checked everything and hit what i assumed was okay... then what looked like some settings came up...those as well were all in that same font... I just hit what I assumed was okay... now I'm in the character creation screen... I can't make it fullscreen and the options for charatcer customization are covering most of my character so I can't see what is being changed. Can anyone help me out?

    i started a download with the direct version and soon as i got to 83% it keeps disconnecting from server or running really slow at 5.0K/sec up to 56k/sec (usually up at 250k - 300k)

    i tried to download using the Direct way and when it finished downloading which took no time at all i clicked on the .exe file that downloaded to my desktop. It seems to want to download again after i click that and it is taking forever, and at very LOW low speeds. after a whole day only 2% was downloaded. It's weird but if i pause the download and then resume it again the downloading speed goes from 1289kb to .2kb in like 30 seconds......and ideas why??:confused:

    I fail at trying the Direct way so I've started downloading the .torrent and its downloading somewhat at a faster speed. It has only been 15 min. and i already have 10% downloaded. ><

    I'd still like to know why the Direct way wasn't working. Anyone else have this problem?

    Can't wait to play ><''
    :D

    From question 1 of the FAQ; "Perfect World International client download and installation GUIDE by Ryuuzaki"
    The Direct Download will prompt you to download the Perfect World International download utility. This is a specific download manager that can pause the download of the installation pack to be resumed later, if necessary.

    i went to install and it said data pack 3 was corrupt so i deleted data pack 3 from my computer and then i downloaded part 3 of 4 because i thought that it would be data pack 3 and it was. then i went to extract it and it said "you need the next volume to extract".

    anything i can do other than downloading the whole thing again.

    if u have an answer can you please send to cambecker1@hotmail.com

    reffer to the 1st post and this question please
    Q: I get an error saying "<filename>.extension" is corrupted. what do i do now? (mostly data4.pck)
    A:- get a torrent client
    - download the torrent from the main page
    - rename your Perfect_World_International.zip to Perfect World International.zip
    - open the torrent with the torrent client
    - when it asks you where to put the file, point to the folder your .zip is in.

    it will check the files and re-download the parts that are corrupt.

    Another option is to re download the whole thing from HTTP again. Which obviously will take longer & you are running th risk to get a corrupted file again
    if you have the original zip file you downloaded, please you that
    I was going to post a reply... then I realized, you would likely reply in anger and insult me, to which I'd most likely respond with a wittier comment or slay you with a macro and then, onlookers, seeing that comments had been made, would interpret the traffic as interest, thus earning you attention you don't deserve for your **** post. So, when you DON'T see a comment from me, THAT is me saying "FAIL" in a much more effective manner.

    Hey, so I did the seperated clients 1,2,3, and 4.

    I saved 2,3, and 4 into a file and ran #1. When all 4 files had finished extracting, the installation quit and I was left confused and robbed of hours of impatient waiting.

    What now?

    :confused:

    I've tried for about 3 times to directly download the client. Currently I'm using Orbit Downloader(always have) for all attempts and i noticed when the downloading point got past 87% (2GB/2.32GB), the downloading speed drops dramatically from about 378kb/s to 20kb/s- as low as 3kb/s. This frustrates me because of the last 0.32GB. (So close yet so far b:sad)

    I've tried downloading from mirrors as well as the official website. Is the poor downloading speed at the final stretch a normal thing or should I download via 4 parts?

    Oh and since I'm a little confused, the 4 part download is a bit torrent am I right?

    P.S. Please do not ask me to go read ryuuzaki's Installation Guide, couldn't find any answers to my problem there.

    P.P.S. Have a great day! b:victory

    this is all very frustrating.. i've now downloaded the game twice, once on the bit torrent, and once on the direct download, and in each case it says that the packs 1 through 4 are corrupted. i think that rather than there being a problem with my computer, the problem is really with the website. its a shame really because the game looked like it would be fun...
