I'm using windows 7, service pack 1. But I had a problem running the 64-bit client after the patch. The 32-bit client works normally.

So I've tried a few methods like reinstalling updates for windows, completing the optional updates, and other stuff, till I tested this one. I hope it helps someone else.

Keyword: Compatibility

 

  1. Right Click Blade & Soul Desktop Shortcut
  2. Properties
  3. Compatibility
  4. Compatibility Mode
  5. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
  6. Choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
  7. Apply & Run the Game

For windows 10 users, if you're having a problem showing older versions of windows, please run the compatibility troubleshooter as shown in this article


Looks like changing the compatibility affects the game greatly, here are my results for 64-bit client:

64-bit

  • Windows 95
  • Windows 98/ Windows ME
  • Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)
  • Game fails to launch.
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
  • Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
  • Fast game start up time
  • Fast loading screen
  • Stable FPS all the time
  • Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)
  • Windows Server 2008 (Service Pack 1)
  • Very slow game start up time
  • Very slow loading screen
  • Very low FPS all the time
  • Windows Vista
  • Service Pack 1 Error
  • Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
  • Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
  • Slow game start up time
  • Slow loading screen

You're most welcome, glad to be helpful ^^

This is my first time to play in parties without Ctrl + F, looks great to see other people playing with you, lol.

z Siegrain Try different compatibility options if you're having low FPS, my windows isn't 10 like yours so the results might be different.

The problem with 10 that we only have Vista/7/8 compatibility to try with.

Oh I see! That's so different than windows 7. I hope someone finds another fix for windows 10 users.
On windows 7, the game works better when the compatibility is set to older windows version. Mine works much better on Windows XP Service Pack 3 than Windows Vista Service Pack 1,2.

Edit: according to this article, there are other versions of windows in win 10's compatibility options.

Dang why didnt u explain better xD I was trying to set the modes directly on client.exe... it wouldn't work... it has to be set on the shortcut at the desktop. Windows 10 running as XP SP3 mode... works 100% :)

Sorry about that, I'll add more details to the post ^^; I'm glad it's working fine for you though!

mine works perfectly fine now, what I did is, tried to run compatibility troubleshooter and unchecked the compatibility mode and I checked the run this as an admin on compatibility tab, so my fps is back to 60 stable running with 64bit thanks for the tip. -Windows 10

Doesn't work for me

Although that's probably my wooden laptop's fault

The 64-bit client feels very heavy for me, specially after i ran it on windows xp sp3. It doesn't respond most of the time and it took a long time to start

The fps in game is still the same 5-10

 

Edit: also sometimes after i enter my Username and PW my screen goes black and it goes back when i close the client

Tried everything, but unable to get anything above 20 fps in game with 64 bit client. If I use 32 bit client the fps raises to between 40-55 I don't get it. I use Alienware 17 R3, so it cannot be my laptop, Windows 10 64 bit OS; I've tried settings given to me by support and nothing. So far its been really disappointing.

This compatability thing is still helpful for me as I see almost no delay in game (for some reason the 64bit ran like molasses T_T) and for my win8.1 the win7 compatability seems to grant the highest fps of all compatible versions I can test.

I tried compatibility for Windows 8, 7, And XP service pack 3 to no avail... Started playing on the 32 bit client again :\

Just tried this on Windows 10 Pro (latest insider preview build), if you want to make the change on the client.exe instead of the nclauncher:

 

Open Regedit:
1.    Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers].
2.    Create a new String Value in the right pane, and name it with the full path of the program’s exe file. By default that would be C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSOFT\BnS\bin64\Client.exe (no " needed)
3.    Set the value to the following:
 
~ WINXPSP3 works best for Windows 10 Pro 64bit (makes no sense but works!)

~ WIN7RTM for Windows 8/8.1(apparently from reading above)

This however limits the amount of available RAM to the 64-bit client again to 3,5 GB.

Go figure yourself.

If it runs at greater than 20fps, which it does, i'll take it, until they fix their code.
