    I did all the above. Verified the patch/update. Tried with and without the firewall turned on, and still nothing. I am able to get to the log in screen, and type in my information. But when I hit enter, I get an "Unable to connect to server" warning. This is ticking me off.

    Changed graphics settings, Again.
    PWI, Do Something. Please.
    Ive been waiting ever since the 2nd to play this game. and Yet I still cannot. I have tried the Old download +patches. and the new download (Already Updated, Im assuming.)

    If a PWE staff member is reading this, please check the first post. I added the log files for a computer that's having this problem and for a computer that can run it fine. I can't really understand them but hopefully you guys can?

    Since I was enable to play in the new update version, everyday I come to check the site, the foruns, all info I can...
    , and is a game that I really like it, I downloaded and instaled PW Europe. is a original version of game (withouth psic or sins race) and is not so "crowded" as pwi, so no lagging, lol.
    and is not all, PWEurope gives to all players at start, 1 Word Teletransport map, 3 mold for armors, 3 armors for level 20 all 3 sockets, 2 special rings, gives 50 silver for every hour played (or logged). the boutique is more expensive but 1 Euro=10 gold, for instance 1 Baby hercule is sold for 800 gold (80 Euro) and 1 Platinium HP/MP is sold for 7 gold (0,7 cents). and I am like the game as in original form.
    For level advancement you will go twice as fast as the official version because of the XP, gold or item are x2, and they have the Event of City Invasion every saturday!!! lovely.
    can find me there till all this is solved, if want try it.

    pwi please give us a patch so we can all play!!!

    have you tried to tick the "force log" box? they may help.. if you still cant enter, then you're stuck like us -.- .. its weekend so we'll prolly not get much attention from PW staff nor the GM's/Mods... but lets hope we do, and hope we can start playing by tomorrow! I come to the forums and stuff every 2 hours just to check if anyone got a solution! But to no avail! Now, i'm going to bed, and I HOPE that when i wake up, i'll come here, with my cereals, and have a solution/work around/ or somethings that tells us there IS a fix planned and being worked onb:angry .. good night everyone b:byeb:sad

    So according to someone in another thread like this, they were able to fix it by clean reinstalling windows. But when they reinstalled their programs it didn't work anymore. So PWI is conflicting with some program.

    Wish this wasn't a family computer so I could just format my computer and have it work b:surrender

    im CLEANING up my pc as i write this down. Hey Seinaru, i was thinking about what you said being a graphical problem and i remembered a way to actually prove if this is true or not. My little bro's PC e VERY inferior to mine in graphical and CPU performance(64MB graphical ram and 933mhz), yet, as astounding as it may be he is able to play, im updating his game to the genesis expansion while i clean up my PC. Ill let you know if it worked on my bro's PC. and i'll post a step by step of what i did with my PC if it works. i'll post it here in a couple of hours. Wish me luck ^^

    Yeah lol I tried uninstalling stuff I didn't need and closing out of every single process I didn't need running, and that didn't work =\

    Wow, if it works on that computer with such low specs, I don't know see how it could be possibly be a graphical problem then xD

    In answer to my own problem a few posts back...i have fixed it so i'll tell you what i did.

    i changed to windowed mode then zeroed all graphical effects. i was able to play my veno and so flew her northwards out of the area.

    While still in windowed mode and graphics off i then tried to load a mystic ...and it worked!!

    Curious, i then went to graphics again and turned each effect on one at a time to see if game crashed.
    Amazingly it didnt..so i am now playing mystic at my usual high graphix settings.

    It seems game does not like the shock of new area ... it has to get used to it gradually LOLZ

    i hope this may help someone with same problem i had :)

    Well so much for thinking I'd cured the problem LOLZ b:shocked

    Been playing new area for a whole day with no problems, then i get a flyer for Mystic and decide to fly to Tellus instead of teleport. Big mistake b:cry

    As soon as reached height above the valley walls i got same old game crash and error message. I try my method of getting back in again (i.e. going to windowed mode and nerfing all graphix) but it didnt effing work b:angry

    So word of warning ...DO NOT fly above new area..there is obviously something within the game design that is causing this. Hopefully it will be sorted d@mn quick!!

    Odd thing is Seeker has never had this problem...only Mystic (and my Veno).

    Hey guys got another response to my ticket so I thought I'd post it.
    Here are some things that might help you...

    Add the game folder and/or game file to the exceptions list in your firewall or antivirus software.

    Example: C:\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International

    You also might need to temporarily disable your antivirus, MS Security Essentials or Windows Firewall long enough to download, install, patch and login to get into the game, and then turn it back on. Sometimes disabling may not help and you will need to add an exception for the game folder.

    It might be Windows, Windows Firewall, Admin (such as running the game as Administrator), UAC, network, or antivirus settings that you will need to change so that they aren't blocking or throttling the game.

    You can also try changing your proxy settings for Internet Explorer 8, to have them turned off here: Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > and then untick all of the proxy settings.

    If you still need additional help, please Search our Knowledge Base for the terms mentioned above. Let us know what you tried and what errors you got when you reply to us.

    If the problem still persists, please send us your dxdiag.

    Thanks!

    Gonna try this stuff out so I'll post here with my results.

    EDIT: None of it worked. Haven't tried the whole download + install + path + login without firewall or AV thing though, because I don't think it's a good idea to have that stuff off for like 6 hours straight...

    I got another response from the ticket after sending them my dxdiag. They say I have to allocate system memory to my graphics device through my BIOS but say that I have to ask someone else how to do it... does anyone know how to do so? Dx
