*EFFICIENCY UPDATE*

I have noticed many of you guys have come to the issues with "ArcOSOverlay.exe" in task manager on this thread and the main discussion

To avoid this simply do the following. When you need to reset your arc to log into another account, make sure you hit the "X" in the top right corner of the window. This will change your Arc icon in Task Manager from a white background to a black background (This will be located in the "Background Prepossesses tab"). Just end task on the icon with a black background (Its called "Arc Update") and it will cease all Arc possesses.

Doing that will allow an easier method in relaunching a new window. I currently don't know any way about force logging. If i come across anything new ill update this thread.

    The point was they wanted us to log in via arc, through the arc defender and this work around does that. We are all still doing exactly what they wanted us to do and the reason they did this maintenance to begin with. For those that have spoof emails addresses or addresses that you can't access anymore, you likely will have to send in a ticket, provide all your personal information (like ip, location in which you registered the account, the physical address, and a number of other things), in order to get the ability to change your email address in order to access all that stuff. So you wait a day or two to get a respond from them, but at least you get your stuff back and can go about your merry way doing what you've done the last however many years lol.

    >End Task
    >Relaunch Arc
    >Log into another account
    >Launch PWI

    pw just make it to where when i do multi client i wont have a froze screen and one active screen..how hard is that

    I posted instructions for that years ago. It's in the Support sticky thread. There's a pretty good chance it still works, but I can't seem to login when I am launching the client without Arc, so I can't say for certain atm.​​

    I never used arc because it's just bloatware slowing my pc. I used to be able to use the console when logging without arc .. but now logging with arc enabled I cannot access it ...
    If I have to run bloatware, and I can't unfreeze the window .. well I can't see me continuing with this game. If you find a way to access the console when starting pwi from arc please post instructions, thanks

    Yeah, I've only had the Steam version for a long time. Unable to log in with it. Just times out trying to connect. (Actually, it says that it's disconnected from the server.)

    Pulled up my guinea pig laptop I use for testing ****, and am having to re-download the game. It's going to be a bit before I can get to cracking the stupid. So far all the traditional methods are not working, but I don't have a client to test with Arc yet either. Once it finishes I'll be pulling it apart.​​

    If you know of a way to kill the ArcOSOverlay process that would be great too - I can kill the other Arc processes in task manager, but ArcOSOverlay just restarts itself :(

    Not currently that I am aware of. Back when it was first introduced, sure. But I haven't run Arc since then outside of some basic testing.​​

    This is a good idea, it's amazing that PWE can't even force us to do what they want right LOL
    They always **** up with patches and stuff, and now they even **** up with forcing this stupid policy on us LOLOLOL GG PWE, we're more resilient than you imagined, try to kill your game so you can have an excuse to pull the plug, but we're still here, **** you guys.

    So after my 4th client I can no longer find Arc in the task manager and thus unable to log more. Do I really have to restart n start over? <.<

    Minimize the Taskmanager (to the initial view). there you can still see arc.

    The ONLY way Ive found is to corrupt it by creating a text file named ArcOSOverlay.txt, changing the extension to .exe and then replacing the actual exe with your created version so that it cannot spin up and run.

    Yeah, I pulled that from the main Arc page images and had some fun. Plus I was a bit bored while having to completely re-download the client.​​

    Clues..after the "4th client" your unable to log more..thats the **** they are trying to stop man lol.

    I cant confirm it. I tested it and logged 8 clients without problems. I didnt see a reason to log more but i guess its possible. Everyone who wants to use toons to farm TT, open pv, to sells stuff in catshops or solo any dungeon can still do it. I used the ways of this thread:
    • replace ArcOSOverlay.exe with an empty file
    • close arc via task manager

    I dont know what pwi tries to achieve with this change. It doesnt change anything for me except that its way more annoying and more work to open clients now. But i guess its the same with security software of games. People will always find a way around the system. Its just the normal customer who is screwed at the end.
