    me and my whole faction is having problems getting into the game... we keep getting an error "The procedure entry point ?GetTotalRam@sysInfo@@QBEXPA_K@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SysInfo.dll." <-- That's without using ARC. Now when I use ARC and open the game it just freezes and says Not Responding.... any ideas how to fix this?

    At least: 'we're looking into this' from anyone at all relevant would be nice, even if it was a lie.

    Here's what I just posted in Tech Support...
    1. This forum isn't for you to get an answer form GM's, if you want that, send in a ticket.

    2. The issue isn't with the patcher, and isn't with ARC, it's localized on your system.

    3. Since we've narrowed that down, it's most likely, that the issue is being cause by your security software. I say that because this is extremely common, as most users don't bother to follow the instructions on the downloads page.

    4. If you really and truly would like some help with this issue, you're going to need to step up and provide some information.

    At an absolute minimum, I will need a copy of the output from a dxdiag.txt file, and a link to a published Speccy report taken while you are having the issues.
    (Remember to use the [code] tags for the dxdiag info and to remove any trademark characters so it doesn't get cut off.) (CODE tag is the # symbol in the editor.)
    4 pages and still no one has bothered to provide any useful data so someone could help them.

    All of you are just assuming it's an issue with the client/update. Reminds me a lot of when we got the last big update to the game engine and everyone complained that the client was borked.... Turned out they just had **** systems or hadn't ever bothered to check their security software.

    I doubt anyone here truly knows what to say about it apart from what they've said already. Even I myself have the issue. I am unable to login on my characters, attempting to do so results in a Bug Report. People who have both auto-patched and manual-patched have gotten this issue.


    Sadly I uninstalled the game and I'm currently attempting to install and download from the Arc client until a proper solution comes by.

    You're assuming that all of us complaining is clueless with computers and haven't even checked these things. Those are always the first things i check when im experiencing problems with games. I've restarted my computer. I've done manual update and automatic update, I've even run as admin, I've checked my security software, And No - i do not have a **** system. I am using windows 7 if you think its windows 8 causing it. I've verified the game.


    As MistaBwanden says, I login - i choose my character - and it loads but as soon as it exits the loading screen where its suppose to say "entering perfect world" i get a bug report.

    Yes, because it is easier that 2 000 of us submit a ticket and wait for an answer than to answer once on the forums, don't need instant solution, just some answer, anything at all.

    All that means is that it wasn't an issue with your files. It also points to an issue with that PC.

    If it works on other PC's and not one of them, it tends to state that the issue is something directly on that one PC that it won't function on.

    Then why does it work? I didn't do anything different on this pc, i just installed it on another pc then copied the client over again to this pc and it worked. So my guess, the patcher didn't copy files correctly, cause there is nothing wrong with this pc, its taken care of better than the other one i copied from.

    The patcher worked for the first patch but not the 2nd one, it just shows the updating bar flashing...Been an hour f:shame

    I've tried both on my laptop and a desktop computer...Both have the same problem, gonna see if verifying the second patch works

    Yup, it's the users fault for not being able to launch a game that worked just fine previously.

    Yup, it just so happens that so many people have a problem with the patch working.

    Yup, it is still the user's fault even though some of us have the latest PC, drivers, and tried everything from verifying, manuals, autos and placed exceptions enough in their security software that a 12 yo can **** into their systems.

    Well, I can definitely tell you that if it works on 99% of the systems out there, (as this appears to), then it's not a problem with the client itself, or the update.

    If it were a problem with the client or the update, everyone would have an issue.

    Feel free to provide the information I request, along with exact details on what troubleshooting you have done so far, and I'll help you out.

    Or, you can sit and QQ and whine and not play like the rest of us are. It's your choice.

    Also, just because you have the newest and greatest system, does not mean it will play a game designed for a platform 10 years ago. In fact, you're almost guaranteed to have some compatibility issues, or limitations in the software.

    It's either corrupt client files, our your veno is in a bugged location.

    For the former, follow this post.
    For the latter, select your veno, hit enter, and then hold down the "W" key while the loading screen is up. May take a couple of tries, but that will typically get you off the bugged location. If you try this 10 times and it still doesn't work, send in a ticket.

    So in your case, it's possible it's not your system, but it's still possible that it is.

    was there any kind of solution to this at all?

    I still can't get into the game after selecting my character since the update. b:cry

    I downloaded the arc but it says to install PWI and isnt recognizing i have it >.>

    I'd rather actually fix my game than Arc unless I *have* to do it.

    Any solutions?

    It was working ok for me yesterday afternoon but then it crashed after being logged in for a few hours (bug report screen). After that, the game would crash during the login intro. I haven't tried it today yet. b:cry

    Sounds like it's either an issue with security software, or a port problem on your router/modem. You might just try flushing your DNS too.

    Not sure why they decided that ARC didn't need to check for currently installed games. Especially since it uses the same location as the previous method.

    Just for further clarification, what happens after you select your character?

    Logging in- I put in password and select my char like normal, but then it bug reports- every time. I've verified twice. I used the manual patch. So idk what's up.

    Arc- the FAQ says if u already have a game u wont need to redownload. I really dont care about Arc at all, I just want to get into PWI =/

    This sounds like a bugged location. Do you see the loading screen? If so, Hold the "W" key down on the loading screen. You may need to try this a few times. If is still fails, send in a ticket.

    That's a new one. Will need more information to analyze it.
