    what to do if i want to redeem but its keep saying that i need to make character 1st before i can redeem eventhou i have character already please help thank you..

    Sit and weep, ask yourself why is PWE so mean with us. b:cry

    I'd give it a time for the character to be recognized. I could redeem this code on lv 36 characters and even on a Lv 1 character btw.

    But these accounts are probably older than Arc himself.

    b:bye so simply put instead of solving the issue again, you just try to buy us off with freebies by which some of us can't even use cause we need to reinstall the game client again?

    nah....Hello D3..... goodbye for now PWIb:surrender

    It's been said many times before that this is a known issue and they are working on it.

    Submit a ticket.

    Don't count your chickens all you lucky ppl that aren't having problems!!

    I was actually logged in playing PW when my computer crashed. When i tried to re-log I got all the problems everyone else is getting!!

    Suddenly im being told to re-install by ARC when its been using my old files these last weeks since ARC was thrust on us.

    Theres no way in hell I'm reinstalling - its their damn problem and they should sort it out b:angry

    Try this - it works a treat!!
    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

    Many thx Sevchenko b:pleased

    Hey there,

    I might come off sounding harsh... but seriously, I don't get paid to come up with solutions and in only one hour I already found a temporary fix for this startup problem, how long have the pwi tech people been "working" on it?

    Anyway, here's a link to my temporary fix until the "technicians" fix the bug. I think I deserve 100mil coin for allowing pwi users to carry on spending their hard earned cash on this game lol.

    i logged in no problems what so ever didn't take a rocket scientist to get it to work on Arc for me at all i didn't have to alter no files nor re-install the game at all idk why ppl had such a hard time.......

    its not the people or their intelligence, its system related or possibly how the first install took place. I had to install arc after ignoring it for as long as i could on my newer laptop, 1 year old pw original install, no issues, I installed on my gaming rig pc thats had it loaded for several years and it did a re-install thru arc. was a pain and obviously glitchy but its not the end users inability to simply install something
