Hi there...

I know, there are two ways to update the Client. But both ways known to me don't work..

Automatic patching:
My patcher can't find the file "elementskill.dll" (Popup window "File Download Error - Try again?") This Problem seems not to solve since an hour ago

Manual patching:
Downloading the manual patch: http://pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/patches/manual/ec_patch_217-233.cup and trying to install it results in an Error message saying that the update files are corrupted.
Tried and downloaded several times...

Help?

    I have the same problem.
    And when I'm trying to update the game the installation box just goes away. I tried to download and update the patch as well but I also got a message that said that update files are corrupted. But Im downloading the patch in the sticky thread here now so I hope that will work.

    Ho Ho I found a way to bypass the problem.

    It seems windows was protecting 2 files.
    Get in the game folder > element, rename the elemenskill.dll and elementclient.exe to some other name. Use the patch file you downloaded, enjoy the game.

    Wow I made a reply with a how-to to fix the problem and it was taken away.

    Just saying this: I fixed the issue and I'm playing right now. I renamed "before updating" 2 files, elementskill.dll and elementclient.exe, name doesn't matter. It seems windows was protecting these 2 files. I've used the manual patch and everything works now

    The servers might be busy with everyone updating, just try again a little bit later.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?
