PWI I've played that account for years and spent money every week just about on it sometimes 2x a week now that would be wrong if i cant log into it anymore basically money would be wasted.

    I have the same problem too, I thought that my computer can't run the game, but i tried making a new character and i got in game just fine, but when i log out and try to log in on any of my accounts I get the "Logging in to the game, Please wait" then after a while "Disconnected from server, please log in again"

    This is because you must log in via Arc. You can not log in manually from the login screen on the client.​​

    Are you starting the client through Arc?​​

    Ive had a few people have the same problem now.

    If your using Steam Version of PWI you must download the ARC version before you can play PWI. ARC has some sorta Code injection into PWI that allows the connection to the server.

    Thanks.​​

    yes i can log into arc thats how i get to pwi. I dont get any error messages. I log, i go to pwi then the client verification starts it goes through does the update check. That goes through ok then i press play. all that happens at that point is that the black screen flashes as if it is about to enter into the game but it stops and i am back to my desk top

    All I can suggest is ti verify files.

    Their are a few things that can cause it.

    I read somewhere that the client will automatically close down if you've got certain apps or programs running since the expansion. I think it's to protect the game from being tampered with. I can't actually remember where I saw that, though, or if that's even accurate so I might be wrong. I'm also not sure what apps or programs in particular.

    Hi,
    I have run into the same problem since I had installed Wonderland. Everything happens the same at me, too: system requirements met, I can log into Arc without problem, verification process is okay, I hit Play, choose a server, choose a character, hit Start, I even see the "Entering Perfect World" screen then client black out and exits to desktop without any error message or something.

    I have also tried to download and reinstall via Arc setup, updated my OS and everything I could, closed all foreground and background running programs except system services, added exception to anti-virus and even turned off my anti-virus, tried several graphical settings, but nothing helped.

    I have already contacted the tech support with all my logs from element/logs, but until now they can't really help beside those ideas I have already tried.

    When I look into the logs, I see "file not found" error messages, and those referred files really don't exist at the specified paths, but I can't get them even after verification. I even see a "not enough temporary memory" message, however, I start the game with 10 GB free RAM. So I really don't know what's going on there, really frustrating. I had no such problem with the previous versions of PWI.

    If anyone could solve this problem, please, share his/her solution for us to try. Thanks.

    That is exactly what happened to me when I tried to log in without Arc. Here are some other issues that could cause it as it happens to me.

    I don't know what your a-hole idiot devs have done with ARC, all I know is what it has done to me. I CAN NOT even launch Arc in my Windows XP anymore because it requires "GetTickCount64" contained within kernel32.dll and XP only has "GetTickCount" with no way to upgrade it. I spent 3 days searching the web and trying different downloads of kernel32.dll including those within Service Packs on a freshly/new install of Windows XP. ARC WILL NOT EVEN LAUNCH.

    So I run PWI on my newly installed Windows 7 system. For the third week row now, PWI crashes when in Territory Wars. I CAN NOT log back in. Today it took over 35 minutes, because the server WILL NOT release my account. Each attempt is met with "This account is currently logged in". I will give PWI 1 more week to undo or fix the ARC problems. If I crash again in Territory Wars and I get server locked for the fourth time I'm done with it and YOU LOSE an 8 year well geared player from this BS. I won't just leave but I will delete every character I have to make sure I never return to PWI and have already done that on other PWE games after warning people of the BS that PWE will eventually pull on them.

    This happen to me as well. I ended going into my STEAM account and unistalling PWI. Then I unistalled ARC and deleted any PWI files that were on my computer. After reinstalling ARC and PWI it finally worked, I hope this helps you.

    Ater deleteing ARC and PWI in March i decided to reinstall with the hope that what ever was causing me not to be able to log had been resolved but sadly no. Nothing has changed. Go as far as getting the recent updates and still nothing. Press play the screen goes 3/4 black and jumps right back to the desktop. SMH

    this is happening to me, as well. i played the game just fine only four days ago, but now i try to launch PWI directly from the ARC client, but it keeps taking me to the login screen, where i try to log in, and it just... sits there, telling me to wait, and then it says i'm disconnected. i have no earthly idea what is causing this.

    EDIT: my bad, found the Server Maintenance announcement. not sure why it's in General Discussion instead of Official Announcements, though.

    If you play on the DA server the server had issues that have now to a point been resolved.
