Perfect World update client -too long

If it has been over a year since you last played, I do suggest downloading the client new again. You can do that here. This new client will bring you up to date with the Genesis expansion. I suggest using the Direct Download version if you are unfamiliar with the Bit Torrent.

From there you can auto-patch to most recent, or use the manual patches.

Before downloading/installing you might want to prepare your system with the following:
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.

Cheers!
