:( Unable to Update

amyescence

I edited how to install the patches.. Hope that helps.

Turn off wlan or put your firewall on "deny all" for the time the patcher tries to connect to the internet, which will take (half) a minute or so.

I hope someone can help. THe program refuses to accept the .cup file as a valid patch.

After a 3rd fresh install (this time on another drive) it ran and the auto update worked. BUT..

after that, the launcher checks it's version, shuts off, and nothing happens. The game does not run. What can I do now, or has fate decided I should give up Perfect World?

akdsada

that patch does actually not change anything

OK... here's what happened. I started my launcher as usual today and i updated it. however when i got to the launcher screen, the theme was still descent and the update bars weren't going anywhere. "hmm that's strange" i said. I decided to x it out and try updating it again. then it wasn't x'ing out so i used task manager to end the programme. Now, however my launcher doesn't launch. I use the admin and nothing pops up. What do i do???

To everyone posting annoying comments about other people being unable to follow your advices: PWI just messed up with the new autoupdate system, stop saying that it's our fault. When an update is released, it should work properly. I'm sure the PWI team will fix it as soon as possible, in the meantime, just wait and be patient. People like Mor_Toran aren't going to help anyone, they just enjoy bashing and making other people feel useless.

Really? Cause I've been updated using that and playing for the past few hours. Even if you get Updated List Corrupted message, just ignore it. Don't click okay. The game will update anyway and you'll get a "client version the same" message. I clicked OK, game closed. Reopened it. I was good to go.

I made a semi guide on how to do it.. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1519881

Hope it helps

Open task manager, go into "Processes" and kill Launcher.exe, Patcher.exe, Elimentclient.exe, etc. Anything that says is associated with Perfect World Entertainment. Then try again, your game SHOULD then open again.

If not, a restart perhaps?

Updated manual patches linked here: http://techsupport.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1717

We are unable to mirror them, due to their size.

New client is in the works.

You can try adding the game folder/files to your exceptions list in your antivirus and firewall software. Please see the help menu or support website for the software that you use if you aren't sure how to do it.

At your own risk, you may have to disable your antivirus, firewall, and other security software temporarily while you download, install, update, login to, and play the game. Sometimes the security software will block it or throttle it, no matter what you try or even if you try to add exceptions for the game files in your security software.

You may also have to disable, shut down, uninstall, or disable any: torrent, keyboard/mouse, web browser toolbars, video/screen capture, gamepad/input device, multimedia, Instant Messaging, voice over IP, web browser games, other games software applications before downloading, installing, updating, logging into, and playing the game. Basically shut down all non-essential programs.

so are u saying just check back in later for a patcher that works?

If you get the "files corrupt" message with ec_patch_670-676.cup, open task manager and look if there is an element.exe running in background.

In my case it somehow was running "invisible" in the background aka not showing up on the taskbar (weird, weird), so the patcher couldnt overwrite the file which led to the message.

Now the manual patch works.

Btw., you dont have to download whole game again since the patcher (over)writes the files anyway.

i did the start install look for archer icon i did clicked it and not its doing nothing now what do i do?

Most likely a false positive, which can happen after a major update because so many files are changed. Your security software can get all distraught over it. You can either add the game folder and .exe files within to your exceptions lists, or temporarily fully disable your security software while updating until you login successfully.

There is usually pwprotector.exe, launcher.exe, elementclient.exe, I think. Plus, if the direct download has Pando Media Booster, it runs as PMB.exe (which you can uninstall AFTER you have installed the game). Please note, there is NOT a new game client with expansion content available yet, as of this post.

takes only secconds for a virus to find my computer when it is unprotected
so taking down my anti virus seems like trying to catch a mosquito with a sledge hammer

PackDLL.dll is a core programme of PWI, yet EVEN if I tell my firewall to trust it..
it is caught for being a trojan
obviously my virus scanner responds to the actions of this one, for I can declare it safe, but it still is caught: something seems seriously wrong with it

can't play : BUMMER

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!

The autopatch doesn't work, the manual patch I downloaded 5 times now says "Update listed files error" and nothing is working on this program for hours of trying every trick anyone has posted in this forum today.

I WANT IT FIXED!

What the @!&#%! do I do now? Is fate really telling me to get a life or what?!? Computer rebooted, PWI expunged, ran ccleaner, rebooted, reinstalled a 4th time AND I STILL CAN"T GET IT TO UPDATE, or WORK after it tries.

BTW last poster with the link to the fix? It isn't an answer in that thread, it just made me waste my time reading yet another 5 pages of useless information.

PWI, are you out there somewhere?

Quad core AMD,
8 Gb memory,
64 bit Win 7,

So with all that, every other program I have works flawlessly and fast. But not yours. Why?

(last time we had to download an obsolete version of DirectX 9.0c to make Descent function. What's next?!?)
