Well then, I'll skip right to the question/problem.
Well, i've not been playing Silkroad for a year and I recently wanted to reinstall it, so I downloaded it from the main site and installed it. Everything went fine up until the point in which I double click the icon and it starts up the launcer. The launcher starts, but immediatley closes and I cant access it any more until I restart my computer.
I think this is a common issue when running firewalls and/or anti-virus/anti-spyware programs. Try adding silkroad.exe and sro_client.exe to your firewall/anti-virus exception list, or just disable any protection programs you have running and try again.
Well I've never encountered such a problem myself. The only 2 reasons I can think of are:
a. Something is blocking the client.
b. The client itself is damaged.
If you're sure you disabled all firewalls and anti-virus/anti-spyware programs you have, try redownloading and reinstalling the game.
I have the same problem.
if you find a solution please post it here... I also have no antivirus or firewalls on while trying to launch silkroad.. my other computer is running it fine though.. but its my families so I cannot play on it much :s
I found the solution to my problem.
Windows was blocking it with DEP.
Try this.. Right click my computer, go to properties, advanced, settings, Data Execution Prevention and then either add silkroad manually or check off turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only.
This was also causing me problems with my media player.. thats how I found out about it in the first place
