i cant use arc when i install arc after when i open it my internet connection get lost my router lights be off what should i do 2 play pwi now ? b:surrender
Goto patcher directory on your pc and check the stringtab.file. Any past line 170 is forcing you to get arc, which means: Simply delete lines 171ff or copy stringtab from launcher to patcher directory. CAUTION: IT ONLY WORKS UNTIL GAME VERSION 779 b:shocked 780v might ignore the stringtab and force you to arc again. But as long there are anticipants (and there are alot) there will be a way to play regular, w/o arc...

as far as i am concerned PWI's implementation of this program is absolutley ridiculous, it's like selling a car with no engine in it and expecting everyone to buy and use it to go to work in. Make sure the ****** things works properly 1st and then release it, rather than put bits and bobs together and pray it works. but then again GM's are suppossed to monitor servers everyday yet i have yet to even see one on Dreamweaver where this gold scammer has been for over a ****** month, so what hope has anyone got that they give a flying *** about game play or the programs to run them.0

PWI truly gave tools for non cashers grow in this game, as a matter of having members logged and fulling its servers, the facilities and opportunities any kind of player could find here was what attracted me to this game from other PW owned by LUG.. I wonder if ARC it's gonna force my new migration. Put the god damn DQ rewards back before you loose more players.. It's simple like that don't change what was working and change what obviously didn't work like the lack if not zero GMs online to help players with constant server issues.0

So now I'm being "forced" to download ARC after playing PWI for 5 years or more.
I'm sorry, but I will not download ARC and will no longer play PWI if that is the only choice I have.
I have enough problems with other application trying to put junk apps, tool bars, etc. on my system and I will not tolerate it.
Good bye PWI, it was fun while it lasted.0 -

Don't let the door hit you in the tail on the way out.
I've posted workarounds several times, and have even had my post linked in sparkies sticky post. Not to mention the many others who have also posted other workarounds. All you need to do is find one of the several methods posted and use it.
Or, you can whine like a baby and run away. That works too.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
'WORK AROUND"? LOL seriously. so how did you work around no blessings for some chars in random servers? Its not about working around something that is supposed to work by it self but HAVING to download and use a broken system (after 5 years of dealing with problems with pwi already) that has multiplied inconveniences and lack of usage to the point of not being able to even continue with game normally. Maybe you have the spare time to work around issues. not everyone is so luckySylenThunder - Sanctuary wrote: »You're not forced to do any of it if you're too lazy to read the threads.

You get blessing FOR ALL running servers. But with arc some chars cannot get blessing.
@Beneno...if after 5yrs you still just 95, y do you even complain?b:pleased
b2t: yes its annoying that gms on forums keeps closing all other topics, while ingame there aint any gms anymore. however for now (I even recaped Thunders 'workaround' on this page) we still can bypass arc thingie.

You have to start the patcher or manually update to get updates. That hasn't changed in over 5 years.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Yes, I've played about 5 years and yes my max toons in only 95. Its because of butt-headed responses that I keep away from these forums. I also have 6 toons and play many other games, and currently 6 maxed out toons in Neverwinter which is now the primary one I play online. I pretty much stopped playing PW back when they killed the DQ system and only rarely return to give free stuff out to newbies.
And yes, I've already used the 'workaround' to avoid ARC for now, but I will assume PWI will fine a way to force it upon us.
Those that responded to me in a flaming fashion, yes you are butt-heads. I follow the old axiom that if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. Types like you are why I don't miss playing this game.0 -
the arcsdk.dll you need to remove before every use (well v779 you had to), editing stringtab didnt changed even trough this current update (v783)
And butt-heads like me, won't be missing such inactive cryiing baby, if you play else why even bother?
b:cuteDQ still works lol. why would a newbie get alot free stuff, thy didnt get either back 5yrs ago. but to compare back than 1-30 was few hours, now its only 2hrs max.b:chuckleBehold, the undead will be unleashed b:laugh

And you get decent free gear while you're at it too. Way back when, it was about 12-14 hours to get to level 20 if you played straight through and didn't fuss around. Around level 37 you would actually run into a bit of a void with quests and would have to grind for about half an hour or so to level up. Level 30 was achievable in about 20 hours easy.
Now, it's stupid, you level so fast you miss all the content. A lot of those quest lines are actually rather interesting.
Now, if I don't cheat with FCC and just spend money earned, in 20 hours I can be level 70 and backlogged on about 80% of the quests in the game.
If I decide to cheat with hypers and still not use FCC, I can hit 80 in about 4-6 hours. (Before Level 80, buying FCC exp room runs actually takes longer.)
Also consider this.....
Way back when, the community was nice. We worked together to achieve our goals. Everyone know how to play as a team too.
Now, the community is a refuse heap. You pretty much stick to your friends and faction, and even then you can't always rely on the assistance you need sometimes.
Arc just takes the frustration many of us already feel because of the crappy community and poor support from China, and then dumps even more refuse on top.
Whoever decided to force an unfinished product on people, needs to be taken out and shot.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Not a "game is dead" post, but I've noticed some threads on the front page were last posted in up to 2-3 days ago. I'm not sure if you guys realize, but that's rather bad. Is ingame any better off? The front page on the main forums of the mmo I'm playing atm goes back maybe up to 4 hours, and it's a lot older than PWI.
I actually wouldn't like to see PWI just die off. If the population does drop enough they might be forced to take action. It is still quite possible to bring players back in.
We all used to call Archosaur 'Lagasaur'.. its not quite so laggy anymore. I think they HAVE lost players, a lot of them, since the forced use of Arc. I know I only get on about 2 or 3 times a week now, I'm happier playing one of the other games I play where broken programs aren't forced on players.0 -
I've been using ARC since its been implemented earlier this month. I dont have any problems with it, it doesnt seem to hog any resources. I understand its use, but there is one major drawback with it.
ARCwas down yesterday afternoon for the rest of the night for me. I have used the workaround to get into PWI, but i dont have any work arounds for the other games on there. If you plan to publish a multitude of games thru ARC, it must run flawlessly or you're going to have people leaving because not only can they not play a game thru it, they can play ANY of the games thru it.
Not only could i not get into PWI thru ARC I also could not get into N-winter. Now to do research to see if there is a workaround for this one.
This is the main reason I did NOT want ARC pushed out too soon. So by ARC being down is stopping ALOT of gameplay if it isnt fixed. Luckily TR isnt associated with ARC.
ARC i hope isnt put on a backburner and get few updates as time goes on.0 -
Thought for a moment I was going to have to re download the game...Seems like Arc have solved this problem with the latest game update. Also, for those whinging about multi-clienting, I read that they are trying to find a way around this b:pleased0

I really haven't had any issues with Arc. Initially I didn't want it, and I know its unfinished, but it downloads game updates a lot faster, you get some decent freebies from it, I have noticed no increase in lag since it was implemented, I DC far less than I used to before Arc, and I can still run two clients without issue.
So, I'm not sure why people are having so many problems. Maybe older archaic computers or laptops are one of the main problems? I built my computer a year and a half ago for the sole purpose of playing highly detailed games, and PWI being an older game barely scratches the surface of what my computer is capable of playing.Malice Leader - Raging Tides

This has now been Fixed so you can multi-client as well now. I still use an argument in my startup line. I will most probably continue to do this until I cant or ARC has features i will use other than to start the Client.
But lets face it ARC could have been a lot worse.0 -
I am trying to download PWI for the first time but am unable to because Arc is not working. I am becoming extremely frustrated as the Repair button for arc did nothing, I cannot send a ticket to their support as when I attempt to I get a message that says "unable to connect to server," and on top of all of that I am also not able to even visit their website to see if there's a FAQ or something. I am at my wit's end and have not even been able to begin the download for this game.0

I cannot even connect to the Game News portion of the PWI site. I can only view the forums as it is.0

I HATE being forced to have ARC with a burning fiery passion. O.K, it was one thing back when it was CORE and you could choose to use it or not, but to out right forcing this broken bugged out client on everyone including people that have pre arc clients is just messed up on levels of b:surrender I'm done... rant over...

Somethings wrong with your PC being able to run Arc then. Troubleshoot that and you'll be fine.

I have not installed arc and have no plans for this in the future.
Nothing good has to be forced on anyone ever period.
This operation indicates an agenda that is not good for the whole of the people involved or it indicates massive lack of logic and reason.
Since money is involved i would tend to say the agenda thing is propable.
So the pwi people force us to what is better in their mind, we the people that support pwi with the means to survive and prosper are regarded as stupid cattle, beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and conscent, so it seems to me.
We need to vote with our money (or not^^) to show we are better than a herd of cattle that have no intellect.
Never bite the hand that feeds you.
Thanks for the respect we earned by supporting pwi a long time b:sad0 -
I'm quitting too, this game is already dead, archo is empty, nobody do nws anymore...game is boring and dead only the most addicted people still playing and one time they will get tired...just this....i hate arc i i will never install it0

I constantly get login errors with Arc - either "your information is incorrect!" when it isnt [lets me log into the website fine] or a timeout error when it apparently takes too long to connect. These happen at least ~4 times a week.
So far I have solved the first issue on my own by making a secondary 'dummy' account which I can log in on, and logging out at the game screen. Very annoying however.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

dude I just want to ask you one thing? DO you know the meaning of balance. 10 pets 10 fashion 10 mount = 1 character .
please need to know your answer. I m not with multiclient. Im not against them.
all I can think if there are so many pets , so many mounts, so many fashion why there should only be 1 character holding them . WHY even put 2 character there. if they cannot all have fashion and pet and can be online. WHAT is to you wearing all those with same character? Don't people show off?
the balance to me is 1:1
not 1:100
make things good for people who play game not for the PWE. You are right why multi client. Why put load on server. Why are we wasting our electricity, why we wasting our latop for running something not worth it. Are they paying us ? is it a job we are doing leaving our real life? what are we getting putting multi client even ? are we getting some kind of pay from PWE server? I don't think so. IT is not even a job still people are using so many for WHO? and WHY?
no one will ever think anyway. IF they make the situation 1:2 then they should do it our way. WE WANT ARC REMOVED . GETTING EEORRS AND ITS EATING MOMORY IS ENOUGH TO ME TO REMOVE IT.

he is from PWE lol I can simply say that. 98% people are against ARC. The forum is not just getting over crowded with bogus comments. Dude you are 1 single person standing on one side of the river who want to dive in alone. So everything alone. YOu don't even seem to get along with the mob . Why you care? what you give suggestions to see even what others have problems. Haven't you know of problem when you use multiple browsers at same time.

Make sure the ****** things works properly 1st and then release it, rather than put bits and bobs together and pray it works. but then again GM's are suppossed to monitor servers everyday yet i have yet to even see one on Dreamweaver where this gold scammer has been for over a ****** month, so what hope has anyone got that they give a flying *** about game play or the programs to run them.
Im with you
You are true they just want their DEAD car to run more miles when it is already breaking down. 90% of the car is dead and 10% wont matter till it is already down0 -
so when are all the bugs going to be worked out of the arc problem. arc crashes almost every day now causing server wide dc's and then ppl cant log on because arc is down. that with unlimited number of ppl who couldn't make the switch in the 1st place cuz arc just simply isn't compatible with their systems and the stupid number of constant virus attacks on our pcs now threw arc. We're losing more and more ppl every single day. Arch server will die soon if it continues and it doesn't look like your having any better luck on other servers either.0

Sylen is not an employee of pwe, and indeed he has been one of the most vocal opponents of arc implementation since it was first announced. He's quite capable of defending himself, but I don't like trolls, and I don't think he'll mind if I jump on you.
98%? Don't think so. Certainly a majority of people posting on the forums have been against arc, myself included. But the reasons for our opposition are not all the same, and I suspect that the vast majority of pwi players never visit the forums and just dealt with the arc issue by installing it and getting on with it.
Sylen cares because he is a nice guy; I expect he has helped more people with technical problems in these forums than you could count.
I strongly object to being forced to use arc; I object on the basis I am being forced. I don't have a fancy pc, the specs on mine are basic indeed, but running STO with arc in the background causes me no issues at all; I can therefore reasonably conclude arc does not hog resources (STO is much more resource intensive than pwi).
I currently use the "startbypatcher" argument on my elementclient exe to play pwi; if you are having issues, I suggest you do the same. I found it very easy to do using the information posted by Sylen and others in this thread.
The issue of lack of proper GM supervision is another matter, particularly in-game, as I and many others have said on many many occasions; this is a decision of (presumably) pwe upper management and while sparkie and the forum mods can pass feedback on, they can't directly do anything about it, so qqing, flaming, or trolling them is utterly pointless.I have Luke Skywalker on a wibble-wobble; your argument is invalid
