Nothing appears?

I've having the same startup problems as well and it started last week with the 263 patch but stopped when the 270 something patch came out until today.

The problem is NOT ON MY END!

It has something to do with PWI servers and in my case the Raging Tide server. I have no clue whats going on but as I have reintalled and tested on multiple lines and computers with different firewalls I can safely conclude that I don't have a problem.

Also considering the problem stopped temporarily with the last patch update it means PWI servers just plain suck. Consider as well that many people are having the same problem in many different places.

I'm not paying to play so I can't complain too much but I do feel sorry for those that are giving money away for this game.

Just give PWI another 3 days to correct it I'm sure they will get around to it eventually.

Laroca's idea is a good one. I had forgotten about those instances. Yes I've heard of entire IP Ranges being banned to get rid of real money traders (RMT) (the crapbastard people that sell game gold for various games online for real money), and on the side random people with IP's around the world that were even CLOSE to those got banned as well. But there's no real point doing a IP wide slow-down.... lol

And i've talked to my faction we DO have two people that are having major freezing/lag issues now. And neither live in the US. Ones in the UK i think. Do any of you live in the US? Might be the first thing i mentioned. If you're all in Europe or somewhere, something might be wrong with the server that CONNECTS you all to PWI's servers.

FYI - Tech Support has now joined the weekend crews as we grow as a company, so Tech Support is here 7 days a week, 10am-7pm California Time. We still want to say a reply could take 3-5 business days or so, but I would like to think this will be reduced to 2 days or less (our goal depending on how busy things are).

You would not believe how many tickets we get like the following, as one sentence:

"OMG, the game won't work!"
"I click on the download link and the game won't start."
"I click and nothing happens."
"I tried to install on my Mac, your game is broken."
"URZ GAMZ BROK N STUFF HELP ME."
"HELP ME."
"Why won't this work?."

As you can see, tickets like those wastes your time and ours because we have to ask a bunch of questions back to try and get better information, or any information. This can take 2-3 more replies then it should be.

Feel free to send in your tickets with your dxdiag and hijackthis logs attached, and describe your issue fully with screenshots if needed.

You can send us a ticket to Tech Support here: http://support.perfectworld.com/ticketing
after reading this: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=2005612&postcount=33

We'll take a look at your system and see what is going on hopefully, ok? b:pleased

hmm mayhaps if we combine all those tickets into....
"OMG,"I click on the download link and I click and nothing happens, the game won't start. I tried to install on my Mac, your game is broken....URZ GAMZ BROK N STUFF HELP ME! HELP ME! Why won't this work?!?!?"

xD
darth you sure those multiple tickets didn't come from the same person?
b:chuckle

also yay for 7 day support.

A quick question. Are you sharing your Internet connection with other people and/or are you running any other programs that download/upload a lot of data while you're playing?

I ask because all of the times I've had lag it's been one of those two problems. I have roommates and I let them share my Internet connection, and one of them started doing massive downloads which created HUGE lag time for me. Once I kicked him off, problem solved.

Also, I use Bittorrent while playing, and when it's going full speed I also get bad lag when I forget to lower the max download & upload speeds.

To test to see if this is your problem I'd recommend using Sam Spade v1.14 (ancient software, but that means that it works on any 32+ bit version of Windows, Google it) and doing a traceroute to your server (server names and IP addresses can be found in the "Server" wiki entry). If the ping times are high (>300 ms) starting with the first or second hop (depending on if you do not or do have a router, respectively) then the problem is probably what I said above. If the ping times shoot up further along the way it might be a routing issue. If the ping times are fine the whole way there, then it's something else. Also, compare the ping times between when it's working well and when it's not, to see if ping time really is the problem.

Good luck!

EDIT: Oh yeah, there was a third reason I occasionally saw lag: background processes. I had one program that used to run periodically, and every time it ran the game would lag a bit until that program had finished doing what it was doing. I now disable it while playing. Some software simply doesn't play well with others, especially anti-virus checkers and whatnot. You might check to see if certain background processes are running when you have problems, and then are not running when things are fine. You might also test disabling some programs when you're lagging to see if that fixes things.

I hope something there helps!

I think I fixed the problem by following this, which I got from some other site..

Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialogue to bring up registry editor.

Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters

Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TCPNoDelay, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.

Click Ok and close the registry editor, then reboot your PC.

I was able to run through a BH without the lag kicking in, so far so good..

Pretty sure it can slow your download speed when you DL bigger files though, so just delete what you added if you have to do that and re-add whenever you have to, yeah?

Yeah the delayed action lag has gone, but now the whole game just doesn't run smoothly. >_>
But delayed action lag is gone, so I CAN attack enemies.

If you google the whole HKEY thing, you can find a download which will put it in the registry for you, so you can do it.

Hi, not sure if its my pc or the client .. but my internet is working fine, search engines and streaming sites are all fine, when i log into perfect world, it will take about 1-12 seconds to log in, it then changes to the " Logging into the game, please wait " box.. which takes another 2-5 seconds to take me to character selection b:surrender, after selecting a character, i log into the game without any elapsed time, but once in the game, id press anything and it would take about 5 seconds to actually perform the action, ive died twice on my psy as a result of this. Its been slightly slow these last couple days, but today its delayed alot longer to perform simple actions ( dismounting, mounting, casting one spell ). Ok, so im in archosaur right? Catshops in minimap range are all visible.. along with people moving around, say i walk out of minimap range, none of the other catshops are visible, on the screen or minimap . An explanation would be nice o_o.. why does it have to muck up on 2x.. why!?!? b:cry

Here is the link to the mystery of dissapearing cat shops in archosaur ._.

i seem to be having a problem similar to this, its only started happening a couple weeks ago. Ever since i downloaded limewire or the new patch, my game actions have been slowed considerably. when i first log on, everything is fine for the first 5 minutes or so, after that, its all slowy

@Godscaster You have a PM.
