    I really hate you pwi atm I paid for items I cant use now thanks to your idea to force us to use arc looking into our rights as consumers. I paid for a product you make it unavailable now.

    If you read what people is saying here, maybe you can fix your problem

    This post of mine was right above one of yours.

    Go to patcher directory, rename stringstab.txt to anything else (stringstab_old.txt for example)
    Go to launcher directory,copy stringstab.txt from there and paste inside patcher directory.
    Run the game through patcher.exe or elementclient.exe

    Can't make people redownload stuff PWE, better bypass arc than redownloading 8gb

    Thank you.

    Dang lol ty Sevchenko. Was searching for the fckd up stringtab in element not in patcher b:chuckle

    For now I just found 1option. Goto launcher and delete arcsdk.dll...so it can't run and can't force you to log in arc er dang time...problems in hand: arcsdk.dll reappear (due to stringtab)...and now you must go by launcher and can't just get on through client anymore.

    Yep with stringtab edit arcsdk.dll returns but wont execute b:cute

    So DL'd it just for code redemption. Seems fine on that front. Haven't tried adding PWI to it or w/e yet and probably won't until they bring in DQ system replacement, but I noticed at the end of the installer, there is literally an option to opt-out of information collecting or w/e for the people with tin foil hats.

    can tell your age by the last sentence..... just because it says opt-out.... you cannot be sure now, can you? people like you who believe everything are more stupid than the ones who think it up.

    Way to insult a person who made a harmless post. If they believe that message that's them. I'm pretty sure PWI doesn't give a **** what our PC is doing on a daily basis.

    I saw your post and it is not something that comes easy to me to bypass things. To begin with I use to just hit my launch button simple now I have to do what to play a game? It is crazy. This it the response I got form Tech. LMAO.

    Can Arc display my pre-installed games?

    Arc can detect all supported games (shown on the All Games page) and display them in your My Games list, unless the game was installed via other platforms.


    Okay so helpful of course your incompetent pwi;b:angry it was installed prior to arc. And it is wanting me to re download a game I have already on my computer. The email I got said no need to download again gave me a link to the above mentioned.

    I am not a technical computer person so I hope I understand this right. Just go to the launch folder and delete the arcsdk.dll and that will fix my problem?

    If there's one thing I HATE and that's being forced into doing something. I'm being FORCED into installing Arc when I don't give a rat's *** about it and on top of it all, I am FORCED into reinstalling. It's **** like this which made me leave the game for three years. I thought things would have changed for the better.

    Apparently not.

    Or the fact that i cannot choose my character in ARC, so i cannot receive any blessings, free hp charms, dreampack etc etc?



    You can choose your char. I get the free rewards and blessings all the time, and I send them to different chars. you must be doing it wrong?

    you can run the game w/o using arc , if you have already installed Arc and re down loaded the game the following works.


    log into arc, start pwi, and log in, then go to

    ( C:\Program Files\Perfect World Entertainment\PWI_en\element )

    or where ever you installed the game, and start the game from there , this allows a dual client..but it's not patched through arc. Once this has been logged into , close down the 1st app and close off and exit from Arc ....bingo , Arc free gaming.

    Follow this process to Dual client Arc free.

    YES it works & is one hell of a lot less laggy then having to run Arc.

    Well me and my other accounts plus 5 other players are done. We were considering coming back after taking a break but after seeing that its FORCED to have a program that i (personal opinion that i have a right to) do not feel comfortable with. Also yes i know no one cares blah blah, begone, can i have you things "NO", after how much money i had spare to use on the game, i rather it be on my account forever locked. Remember this is why the best MODS that were around since betas left cause of this BS.

    Sorta. For the next launch yes, but not in perma. Best solution seems if you copy the stringtab from launcher into patcher and replace the stringtabin patcher. (last lines "force" you to load arc)

    Tho stringtab only forced to dl, but NOT to run arc it somehow will stop arc from executing b:victory (read what sevchenko wrote above)

    GMs my question remains: DO we receive ban for not using arc??? Ppl bragging about it almost a weak now! I'd start a new thread, but since it concerns arc it'll redirect to this one. So answer me b:angry

    Just a fair warning to ANYONE using shortcuts or ways to bypass arc altogether. In time they WILL find a way to make that not work. So don't get to comfortable with your tricks you have learned. Sadly Arc is going to make or break pwi for MANY people. Not that PWE cares so long as the CSers keep paying them they will force whatever they want down our throats. MMO gaming at its best. LOL

    well as it seems SeaAnna, the 'old section' known as CoreConnect was the alpha version of arc, which currently runs as beta.

    but Rawynn yes many myths about that weird arc thing, this very one I never heard ^^ But don't expect any answers from staff/gms. We currently all wait on answers, many tickets which been send in keep pending.

    Only way to run pwi safely. Avoid arc. Sure as hell we can't rely for long onn the current ways to avoid it. But aslong we wan't to avoid, we can avoid b:laugh My biggest fear is that arc will harm all players, except them CSrs who can buy a arc-less membership b:dirty


    It's been awhile since GMs answered here. I guess devs overgoing GMs too. b:shocked

    Can no longer play PWI as of patch on 04/08/14 as my PWI launcher no longer works and directs me to ARC which I have had for awhile. Even though I had added the existing PWI game to it ARC now is trying to make me install the entire PWI game. Can anyone help?

    Just a curious question from a past player, but how is Arc affecting the game population-wise now? Not a "game is dead" post, but I've noticed some threads on the front page were last posted in up to 2-3 days ago. I'm not sure if you guys realize, but that's rather bad. Is ingame any better off? The front page on the main forums of the mmo I'm playing atm goes back maybe up to 4 hours, and it's a lot older than PWI.

    I actually wouldn't like to see PWI just die off. If the population does drop enough they might be forced to take action. It is still quite possible to bring players back in.

    Ok, if running Arc mysteriously shuts down your network connections on your router, you're definitely leaving out a LOT of information.

    Start a thread in the Correct Forum, and provide actual information.
