blue walls splitting game.

[Littleburst]

So I got this wierd phenomenon, I reinstalled my wow completely from discs and downloaded patches. Now I understand that I'm lacking vital game data, but for some reason this only goes for some toons. The screen is a great example, 2 chars can go everywhere and see everything. For 1 DK the Wall appears halfway in Thrallmar and for my Druid the wall blocks out the Hellfire instances area.

They're all launched from the same wowfolder by ISboxer. Anyone who can enlighten me? Besides this there's about a 50% chance that the clients crash while changing zones and downloading game data. Anyone had similar experiences? I hope it's just to blame to the game data missing/being downloaded.

Blue walls means it's downloading content that you don't have. Noticy the swirly thing top center.

You might have installed from CDs but patches and stuff need to be applied and these are streaming to you so that content will be unavailable until it's in a playable state.

Are you trying to go somewhere you shouldn't be going? Like GM Island? ;)

No, really, it's probably exactly as Ashely says... you're just still downloading content.

The last time I had any strange issues like that, I had corrupted \wow\data\cache files. Copying them off my other PC fixed it and stopped the downloading and glitching.

I concluded that aswell, but then I really don't understand why the missing parts are not all the same for all the accounts? How can 2 do have the needed content and 2 others do not? Even though I didn't set foot in Outland yet on any account, since I installed.

I'll see if Tech on battle.net feels like replying.

Edit: reply from Blue:


Hello Littleburst,

Running multiple clients from one computer is not something we support.

If you are experiencing issues with running multiple game accounts using one client I suggest that you run one account at once and that will solve the issue.

Had the same problem when they pushed the first patch after Cata. Yeah it sucked, and I theorize that when 5 clients are trying to update the same game data at once, it doesn't work and they keep deleting the same file over and over.

I still preferred the blue walls of blocking to phasing B.S. hehhehhehhehh
