The game client is already running.(3001) (183)

[MortalBlade]

I've had this problem happen to me several times,and i don't know the reason behind it.

I tried to close the program but the problem is it doesn't show that the client is open.

The only solution to this was always restarting the pc.

And i find this really irritating.

The same error happened to me to after maintenance was finished. Before maintenance was finished I could log in easily. Having to restart my computer every time is pretty annoying. I constantly have to look up different error solutions so I can play this game. Nevertheless I still like it though.

Same error happening to me. Haven't restarted my laptop yet though.

Me too. "The game client is already running", despite that I closed it and the launcher. Sigh. Restarting's the only way to fix it so far.

Have you guys closed the Task for everything of the game on the Task Manager as I do here?

[Nilkemios]

Well, thank you for that faster alternative solution...I just don't get why this of all things keeps "running" when we close it...sigh.

When this "error" happens close everything related to the game in the Task Manager and then re-click the client, it works for me every single time !

Like what i said before it doesn't show even on the Task manager.

Task Manager > Details > Right click Client.exe (Blade and Soul) > End Task

You do have to go to taskmanager, although it's not in the simple version. You need to click show more and end the task

"Blade and Soul bloodlust" this fixed it for me.
