    The link for it is typically posted by SweetieBot in the maintenance discussion thread. OR, you can check the manual updates thread in the PWE Technical Support fourm.

    It wasn't that big though, auto-update should work just fine as long as you've correctly excluded the client from software.

    We haven't been given a manual patch link. I'll ask about it and hopefully we'll manage one.

    PWE didn't upload a manual patch on ther CDN this time around. At least, as of posting, there currently isn't one available.

    @OP: Your best bet is to re-enable the ARC DRM platform (which I assume you've disabled), download the patch, then remove ARC again. It's a pain, but there isn't a manual patch available so this is your best bet. Either that or try sending a ticket to PWE so that they are aware.

    Really? Who would have thought of that?! Oh wait, maybe syphonfilter did: here
    OR, you can check the manual updates thread in the PWE Technical Support fourm.

    OR, maybe you could have checked the manual updates thread in the PWE Technical Support forum to see if the newest patch is there actually because maybe, just maybe the thread opener already looked there and haven't found it.
    It wasn't that big though, auto-update should work just fine as long as you've correctly excluded the client from software.

    Thread opener asks for manual patch so he doesn't have to / cannot use auto-update for whatever reason, you tell him to use auto-update. Mkaaay.

    Nice link to the old 817 patch. This whole thread you have mentioned exactly nothing.

    There is no 819 manual patch online for whatever reason. You can usually try to find it by using http://pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/patches/manual/ec_patch_"old"-"new".cup ("old" = 817, "new" = 819).

    I already tried that and just got a error, but thx for not thinking im a total idoit.

    And yes im not using arc and its not even installed on this computer cus its a total waste of space as a lot of ppl have already said so.

    So where is the manual patch for 817-819?

    Okay good news and bad news.

    Bad news is... the reason no manual patch was listed is because apparently China didn't give them one for this. (Shocker) So they didn't have one to actually list.

    The good news is sparkie's gonna annoy his bosses to see if they can make their own for this one. He won't be able to get it immediately, mind you, but better than none at all.

    The other good new would be that auto-patching still works just fine, and since it's a relatively small patch, it won't take long at all.

    I wonder if any of these folks have tried just bypassing Arc via the sticky. The patcher still patches the game just fine without Arc, after all.

    Granted, some people did have problems patching even before Arc (if I'm not mistaken) but yeah, trying to run the patcher while bypassing Arc may have results otherwise.

    I have Arc, but it's only there for the codes. Running my client is entirely exclusive of Arc.

    They patched that too, sadly.. I have a comment bat I have run since the introduction of arc, this same command line no longer works

    Using the startbypatcher method?

    If that fails there's always deleting the .dll file or removing the lines in stringtab (both also covered in the sticky).

    I find it a bit odd as none of the bypass methods have failed for me even with this maint. b:surrender

    OK, but I'm using the following and it's working just peachy.....

    C:\Games\PWI_en\patcher\patcher.exe arc:1

    C:\Games\PWI_en\element\elementclient.exe startbypatcher console:1 arc:1


    Running it both on Win7 and 10 without any issues. What's game:cpw do? (I cannot, for the life of me, recall what cpw is with the client right now, but it's been a long day.)
