    So I've downloaded Elsword a few weeks ago and i noticed there is some problem :

    1. The "comparing patch to the installed version" took so long, i've tried using different network and it still slow, like it could take 15-30 min
    2. When in-game, i cant seem to play with party. Everytime i queue and find party, the game will load to like 80%, stuck there for a few min, and then take us all back to the village. And i've tried using different network too, even try with an ethernet cable and nothing works.

    I dont think its my network problem becuase my brother use the same network as me and he dont have any problem that i have, i can play fine when using his pc, i also tried using my sister laptop and i dont encounter this problem (i play with a laptop)

    Hey there,


    Perhaps you have compatibility checked to a certain Windows mode for the elsword.exe file? This sounds awful similar to me in the past when I had compatibility mode checked.

    You can check this by finding the elsword.exe file in your ProgramFiles or ProgramFiles(x86)/Elsword folder, right-clicking the elsword.exe file -> select properties -> select compatibility -> UNCHECK if compatibility mode is checked.


    I'll attach a screenshot but pardon me it's in Korean ;(


    Anyway, un-checking this boosted my patch speed by ALOT (under 20 seconds?) when it took me like 30 minutes, just like your current situation.


    Hope this was of any help!

    Reinstall your windows and see if you will have the same issues, and get C++ runtimes. It could be that your PC has an old/bad CPU and that's why it takes so long, because Elsword uses a lot of the CPU
