My brother has a problem with PWI Sirens of War. Every time he tries to launch it, it has an error and says that PackDLL.dll is missing, even though the file is there. We figured out that it is recognized by his antivirus as a Trojan and is thus quarantined. We tried to have it ignore the file, but this results in it simply getting blocked
Can anyone explain this to me and how to fix it?

Instead of having it ignore the file, try finding a way to "restore" it. If it's in the vault, the game will not work.
Alternatively, you can have the program delete the file, turn off your virus protection, and download a new packdll.dll. Try placing it in the exact same folder and then starting the game.
Also add pwprotector.exe, launcher.exe, and elementclient.exe to your virus protection's exceptions.Sizzer - Raging Tide wrote: »Before you go last solution for you from my side.Missing PACKDLL.dll here's the link http://www.filefactory.com/file/1zlfptvr6co5/packdll.dll to download the file, after downloading it go to C:\Games\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\patcher (Note:This is the default location on your computer that the game installs to. It may be different if you changed it during installation.)Simply paste the packdll.dll there and then try to run the game.
Hope it helps and works for ya all.
In the meantime, he should be able to launch the game directly from elementclient.exe, if he's updated to the Siren's of War patch. This will not work once a new content patch comes out without the launcher, so you have about 2 days.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Well the game was working fine for me till today. I was logged on, crashed and now the PackDLL.dll is missing. Ad-Aware sent me a notice that it had found a trojan and it was in the PW files but I just kinda ignored it. Now I can't seem to locate the Ad-Aware vault to restore it...I can log in from elementclient.exe but I'm worried that it wont work for the new patch..0

Jeremied, I deleted the old PackDLL.dll file and tried downloading one from the link and after the time's up, nothing downloads. It's like nothing happened. I don't really know any other trusted sites to download from..Help please?0

Use "Verify"option first you may need to do this multiple times.You also might need to temporarily disable your antivirus, MS Security Essentials or Windows Firewall long enough to download, install, patch and login to get into the game, and then turn it back on. Sometimes disabling may not help and you will need to add an exception for the game folder.
It might be Windows, Windows Firewall, Admin (such as running the game as Administrator), UAC, network, or antivirus settings that you will need to change so that they aren't blocking or throttling the game.
Should fix your problem Good Luck !b:victory[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I did but when I first put in the new PackDLL a bunch of other stuff I didnt recognize was also installed. So I deleted everything and hoped that installing just the packdll.ll would work. And now it says that I'm missing SysInfo.ll. Isn't there a way to just download the launcher without having to download the whole game?0

Im having the same problem. I ran a anti virus scan and the file got erased. Its not in quarantine either. I saw this post earlier and downloaded the file. I placed it in my patcher folder and another error pops up sayin something about not having the specified route. Please help, thanks0

Don't paste it in patcher folder go to C:\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International(Note:or wherever your game is installed) and paste it there.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

My first post to the forums, hope I don't mess it up b:chuckle
I have Adaware virus protection which I installed the day of the Upgrade. I've had to re-installing PWI twice since the upgrade for PackDLL.dll missing after a crash. Then 5 mins ago I crashed again and the same darned thing...file missing blah blah blah..The thing I noticed is as soon as I restarted my laptop Adaware had *blocked a file which could be harmful* I went into the Adaware Quarantine Folder and looked at today's date I noticed every Quarantine'd file was the same and all listed as a high risk trojan. At the bottom of the Quarantine there's options to RESTORE or DELETE. I clicked the file with today's date, then clicked RESTORE. YAYYY it worked. So maybe try doing that. Hope this helps. b:pleased0 -

Well i getting sick of this all..
my stupid PackDLL.dll file is also gone, but nothing helps. I can't load it from anywhere because its going delete automaticly again.
And i will not shut down my antivirus.
I also told my antivirus this file is ok. but he still delete it because its not only a suspicious file its a corrupt file for him.
also there is something else missing he give me the error something 0x000002 or so is not aviable.
So anyone got another idea how to fix this stupid thing then only "oh shut down the antivirus and load it".
Why they can't make a file that is fine for all? Are they not willing that all can play? it seems so
and yes i'm angry about this.b:angry
they do not really care about the players lol why they should? there are alot others they can play a few that can't is not important.
I got the newest launcher of a friend, and packdll.dll is there (not deleted) but he still can't find the file. what the hell is going on?0 -
PWI won't change anything for you , if u wanna play then follow instructions stated in many of the thread use Search option.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Add the game files in your anti-virus/firewall/security exceptions lists then try to run "Verify" option from launcher do it multiple times see if it works or not ?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Sounds like it's time to re-install from scratch.Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.

Ugh, this is an old thread, but, meh.
I am using a ProBook6460b I got from school. They made tons of things inaccessible, the antivirus in particular, the antivirus is called Trend Micro OfficeScan. This antivirus is REALLY bad, I've noticed it quarantines loads of harmless files and such, this pisses me off really bad. This so called antivirus has quarantined PackDLL.dll and I can't do anything about it. The antivirus is password protected, so I can't uninstall it or anything. ALL of the important files are protected and I just get a popup saying "Access denied." whenever I try to, for example, change a configuration file so that I can uninstall this piece of trash.
I have no idea what to do about this... PackDLL.dll gets quarantined all the time and I can't do anything about this myself... so I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks0
