Hi, I'd like to ask if u guys any suggestion for me:

After starting first client every time I try to start a second one the screen freezes after selecting the character I wanna play. Doesnt matter if ARC is running or not, if elementclient is the same or a copy in another folder. Under Win7 -64 Bit on my Desktop screen always freezes.
On my Notebook I can open a second cleint. Any suggestions please?

I'm going to need more information on it.

Primarily 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.)

Any changes you've made to the program shortcuts is also helpful.

Just because people fail to read, this should be posted in multiple places....

1).Download the Manual Patch > pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/patches/manual/ec_patch_779-783.cup
2).Go To your PWI folder>Launcher> Delete the file arcsdk.dll.
3).Then Run the elementclient or patcher it won't ask you to download ARC anymore & u can easily update the game using that manual patch or auto-patcher whichever method you choose.

Thanks for that Sizzer. I was going to post it, but you beat me to it. b:chuckle

Just for completion: I added a link inside ARC to the elementclient.exe file. Starting it with ARC works

First load of player shows present PWi version, if you try to load second player it shows a lower PWi version, and says that you need to get last version.

Have no idea how to get the correct version for second char

Result is many, many less active players. Is this good for PWi !!!!???

Fix your shortcuts to point to the newer client install. Then remove the old client folder and save disk space.

I have an odd issue.
The game worked fine through arc, no complaints, but I had to do a system restore earlier today (it restored system to before maintenance) and after that, when I open the client through arc it shows version 783, the most recent one, and it says that my client is the latest version, yet I launch the game and I get a pop up with version too low anyway. I only have one client opened, mind you.
What should I do?

Click the Verify button on the launcher.

Thanks, will do. Was hoping for something less time consuming, but this will do also.

For some unknown reason Verify doesn't works properly. So do it 3 times back to back just to be sure.

And don't forget to fix your antivirus software before you do it.

Three verify files and 1 Arc repair later an it finally works. For some odd reason, at first, it wouldn't let me change servers, but it finally caved in. Thanks guys for the help!
