Multi-Client problems

AliceAdams - Lost City

Fiance got his patch done, but can't Multi-client.

Known issue?

Problem on our end?

You have to describe the problem...

Double clicking on exe still works fine.
Always did.

I'm having the same issue where I can no longer just click on my desk top icon to dual log. From the other posts it looks like I can if I go into the file programs? Can you list what one to click on, don't want to hit the wrong file and mess something up b:embarrass

Oh and thanks so much PWI for bringing back 'Fly with Me' as the log in song, can you please keep it this time. It's such a pretty song b:thanks

you have to run the element\elementclient.exe from your PW folder. b:bye

For some reason I can't even get 2nd client open from elementclient.exe too. It just opens for 2 seconds and then closes.

Hmm, works for me, maybe try verifying game files?

StellaNova - Raging Tide

if it's on a Win7, tried to run as admin?

right click on icon-> run as admin.


As no dual client would make my catshop cry b:laugh

I tried going under the file and like Azu_Nya it doesn't work. It does the same thing as when I click on my desk top icon. I already verified several times. Any other ideas. b:surrender

I did have to uninstall and reinstall (oversensitive virus protection) could that be what caused it?

Update: Tried StellaNova suggestion and right clicking run as administer did not help either.

Are you sure you're opening right .exe?

If someone don't know where they installed the game, here's how to find out:

- Right click on PWI icon on the desktop
- Click on Properties
- Make sure you're on tab "Shortcut"
- Click on "Open File Location"
-- Now you're in "/patcher" folder
- Go one folder back (In the Address bar click on "Perfect World International")
- Enter "/element" folder
- Run "elementclient.exe" (or, if you don't see extensions, it will just say "elementclient")

Thanks CroPsy! I had the same issue. Following your post directions did the trick! b:pleased

I couldn't open a second client via the method I open the first so I just went into the files and found the .exe of it. It should always work that way regardless of what happens to the launcher.

I Personally would not recommend opening the game with adminstrator rights, specially with the new expansion that will probably have alot of buggs, would be a like a free pass ticket for any hacker that has found a loophole to gain access over your pc.

Star_Prism - Archosaur

Thanks so much CroPsy that way worked. I was going to the wrong folder b:embarrass They said Launcher so that was the folder I was going into. Thanks again b:thanks


Just to throw this out, anyone have a theory why the icon no longer works? I can get in this way easy, but just curious as to what caused it to go screwy. b:puzzled

AliceAdams - Lost City

Thanks for all the help guys! We've got our shops set up againb:thanks

So after like 4 verifications, in end of each I got some files downloading, nothing happened. I can launch game through launcher, but elementclient gives me this

Should I reinstall the game?

DPenetration - Lost City_1354790747

since update, I have also been having this multi client problem:

for a second the game seems to try to load the second client then the secondary client just disappears... no error message no nothing... just gone...

I checked windows task manager and noticed that after I tried to open the second client a new process starts: "pwprotector.exe" (dunno wtf this is about)

I right-clicked the "elementclient.exe" and went into the properties and ticked the box to run it as administrator... this appears to have fixed the prob for me, but i am a little concerned as someone earlier mentioned that this may cause a vulnerability to hackers...

sigh...
