PES 6 - 32bit version not launching (Windows 11)

[surelyquit]

Hi all!

I thought I would give playing PES6 online a go, as I've played so many different patches and option files, but never tried online.

I know that there's a few different servers - I couldn't get http://pes6stars.us.to:8190/ to work despite having the correct files etc. I have been able to get into lobbies area for pes6.es, and they have a 'NoPatch' lobby that 100+ people matchmaking pretty often. To access that lobby though, you need to run their NoPatch version of the game, which is found here:

I've played dozens of different PES6 versions, but I'm running into a problem with this one I never have before - it doesn't launch. It installs perfectly fine, but when I try to launch the game nothing happens. No window appears, no error message or anything. Then when I go to task manager I can see that 'PES6.exe (32 bit)' is running, but not in a way that I can access.

Could this be because it's 32bit and Windows 11 can't run it? I've tried compatibility modes, and a couple of '32bit games on Windows 11' youtube tutorials but neither been successful. Does anyone have experience with this particular version of the game, or just this issue in general? Or, is there another good PES6 online server I can try?

Thanks!

yes got it working. first try to uninstall kitserver through setup.exe in kitserver and install it again. if that doesn't work get original copy of pes6 install it in separate folder use the serial nr given in pes.es . game launches now, but occasionally u can get the same issue. try to reinstall kitserver again, and it works again.

ps side note if u using gamepad issue can occur that u cannot use LT/L2 AND RT/R2 simultaneously. for xbox controllers etc use program xinput plus and for ps controles ds4 etc. set the triggers as buttons in options. easy solution.

ok the actual solution after testing. just installed the the pes6 version from pes6.es then opened "regedit" in windows. navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\KONAMIPES6\PES6
and activate language for english for example

change the value to 1. it was all zeros.
