    I really do hope they extend some of the 2x.. because there were things that I was wanting to do.
    And does anyone know if it's possible to not have to verify and just download the C++ and see if all goes well?
    Because I've been verifying for almost 2 hours now and it's barely a quarter ways done.

    for all who are getting game enter fail . go to add and remove software and check to make sure you have microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistribution in list if not you need to dl that to get game to work . Just having 2008 or 2010 wont be enough dl the 2005 dis and it should work . To get download just google it and should find it for dl.

    hope this helps everyone

    I have been trying to install this all day (of course, this is my one day that I had scheduled off work and would really have the time to play). I am running Linux, but had everything running fine previously. When I run the patcher it locks up repeatedly, at different stages of update, requiring me to kill the patcher (no buttons work, it stops moving or acknowledging anything). When I re-run the patcher it then starts over from scratch, every time. I haven't gotten further than 40% of an update, and it's been going for hours (3-4) at a time before locking up.

    I also downloaded the manual patch, but if I run it with the patcher the behavior is exactly the same (only it displays the flashing images it scrolls though, whereas if I directly patch I don't get those, just a white screen there--which is the normal behavior for it running on our Linux boxes). It does not seem to install/verify any faster than doing it the old-fashioned way, and neither is working. If there is a way to install the update *without* the patcher I would love to know what it is... My husband and I have both attempted this on our computers at least 6-8 times each over the last 10 hours, and it has gotten beyond frustrating.

    Try updating your video drivers too.

    I updated the first post with hopefully easier to read and understand info.
    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?

    Just read trough this thread.. same trouble, here's what I have done so far:

    1- update video card drivers from video card manufacturer: nvidia

    after the update, 'settings' says I do have DirectX 9.0c

    2. Says it can't find the d3dx9_42.dll file

    3. download D9 from microsoft website, installer won't work..

    4. Windows update doesn't finds any update at all

    5. Searching on the web I see people simply download the dll file and putting it on the game directory it searches, PWi searches the dll on "perfect world entertainment/perfect world/elements" so I do it, (I avoid putting it on system32)

    I downloaded from: http://www.softpicks.net/dll/d3dx9_42-dll-13112.html

    since that's from where some people download it, has correct size and date as mentioned above.


    IMPORTANT: downloading a dll from the web is VERY DANGEROUS.

    6. Copy the dll on the game directory, start launcher/patcher.. still says requires directx9.0c, press continue, intro screen loads, then closes.. no message error given..


    Any other tip.. ?

    I downloaded the 606 patch, and when it was done installing i opened it, and it brought me to the launcher and was applying the patch, it got a little ways in and gave me an error message saying update file corrupt, and closed the launcher. What do I do now?

    Un installed and re downloaded game. Re-did the updates and patches and Direct X and now when I log in the only option I am getting is Create. All of my characters seem to be gone. This is seriously a major pain. I've done the updates twice now with the patches and have wasted hours for nothing. Having to Patch, downoad upgrades and everything else after waiting for 7 hours for the update is ridiculous. I am at a loss as to what to do next.

    If your directX 9 installer does not work with the webinstaller, try installing the end-user redistributable version of the same patch:

    do you hire GM that are rude and smart alkes on purpose?? This should have been posted to support q & a not on a forum no one reads, atleast I dont and dont like forums in general. This attitude toward your customers is why PWI is continually losing population that and expansion that mess up more than they fix. Your bad attitude toward your customer base will be the death of you.

    I've had just about enough of this BS, I get to the Game Update complete, click start, error screens flash, nothing happens.
    I've installed all this BS you've told us to install, still not working.

    lol... this is why pc gaming is dying off and console is flourishing, because every one of us has a different pc setup and nothing is going to work for everybody.

    well you guys are still luckier then me. I'm unable to even install the direct X 9 pack due to my sircumstances so I'm prettymuch ****ed unless they allow it to log into the game and start up without needing it.

    Well As I stated In my Thread I've installed the directX as they have suggested on Windows Viasta Home Premium Edition and I get a dll error where the game wont even allow me access to the patcher. I have reinstalled the DirectX as suggested to make sure I got it and restarted my Computer.


    Low and behold Guess what..... The same dll Error Message appears.

    So Whats the next Solution you want us to try?

    Hello, I've been trying to do the update but seems I can't do it. I'm always stuck on one file or another. Then I decided to try out the manual patching, but when I click on the link to download the files I just have a long and full page of random non-understandable signs.
    What to do to get this patch right?
    Thank you

    To help with the .dll/DirectX error, and having missing characters or NPCs in the game:

    1) If you encounter a DirectX error, dll error, or invisible characters, try updating with this on Windows 7, Vista, and XP:[/COLOR][/B]

    Web Installer
    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

    2) Then restart your computer.

    You will need to install this if you get those kinds of errors, even if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 so that DirectX 9 files can be copied over to the right spot.

    Thank you all for your dedication, patience, and understanding on this latest major release![/QUOTE]

    Done this and things seem ok but has Amber vanished or do I still have errors I can see other players and all that - Amber is still in my gps list but just not there
