Unable to dual client.

I've been fine dual clienting until the last update, last Tuesday. How I've always done it, is create a copy of the Element.exe and load that, but since the update, it won't work. I've tried opening the same client, and even using the launcher, to no avail. The client will pop up for about a half second, pop up some error message before I can read it, and poof, gone. I've tried repairing my client, and launcher, but that hasn't done anything. And I cant' screen shot fast enough when the error comes up to read it.

I'd rather not have to uninstall and take 4 hours to reinstall, just for it not to work, and I'd very much appreciate it if anyone could try and help, or give me more options to try and open the client before I send in an angry rant ticket. >\

    I open a second window by right-clicking on the icon in the task bar, and selecting 'elementclient'. Another way (takes longer) is to go to your pwi folder on your computer:

    Perfect World > element > elementclient

    Those two methods work for me but I almost always use the first method because it's much easier.

    I run both from the launcher just fine. (patcher.exe) I haven't tried running it by dual-launching elementclient.exe since the Decent update.

    Personally, I would verify the files a couple of times.
    Also, make sure that your game directory is in the exception list for your antivirus software before you verify, and disable the active or real-time scan temporarily while you verify the files.

    Alright, I tried it the first way, and it came up with this... If I can call it this, error message. Errorthingu.png The second way is, I believe, how I usually do it. I can't open the second client from the Element Client.
    I've already verified them twice, with no luck. =/

    Ah this happened to me sometimes on my previous computer... It will either just display that and close by clicking ok (or even without clicking ok) or the same thing happens if you get a chinese text with the "yes" or "no" awnser on it (sometimes it'll work after clicking "yes")... It's just a matter of "if the client feels like it" really... Verifying your client might help though... It worked many times for me... If that doesn't work just wait until the multi client feels like working again... Lame advise but it's all I can give... b:surrender
