Can't play WoW anymore!

[Multibocks]

I hope someone can help me here. I uninstalled WoW and reinstalled it straight from DVDs. This is the error message I get after doing WOTLK disc.

The file "Data\esMX\base-esMX.MPQ" could not be found. If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.


WTF. I googled it and I am shocked that I dont see it anywhere. Can anyone help? I posted a message on the service forums as well.

Google the equivalent English Client error.

Data\enUS\base-enUS.MPQ

Sometimes a disc read error can cause problems. If you have room on a hard drive, copy the dvd/cd's to the same directory (one for each expansion) and install from there.

There was another issue with vanilla wow and installing on a machine with lots of ram. That solution was to reduce the ram to 1gb or less for the install.

Hope this helps.

You could download the client from here http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/downl...downloads.html

Ok I found that a WHOLE directory was missing from install. So I copied it over from my WoW backup, just to see what happened. Well it downloaded 3.2 and installed it, but now I get BSOD from my video card when I run one window of WoW. This is really frustrating. When I get home from work I will try a whole new install. I wonder if this has anything to do with my new SSD that I bought and installed.

Not trying to call you slow or anything, but you didn't mention trying to run the repair.exe. (it's found in the WoW folder) This little program has helped me on more than one occasion, when i was getting the same problems you are having. It will check for all the files and DL a patch type file with everything that is missing or not correct.

Another thing that helped me was setting the directory for it to something other than the default during the installation process then just renaming it to whatever after i got it all working.

Ya thats the first thing I try everytime. Hilarious that it missed 1.2GB of missing info... wtf.

Ya know it's interesting that it's asking me for what I believe is the Mexican version when I chose "english" during install.

One more thing sorry. This all started when I installed that OCZ Agility 120GB SSD. I transferred my Data folder to it and symlinked it from my original folders on the Raptor drives. Well I started getting weird crashes about 2 days later (can't find dwarf chair model and wowerror.exe would crash, wtf)

So I'm thinking there is something wrong with my Agility drive. I did this recent reinstall on the SSD, maybe I should go back to the raptor drives with the next fresh install?

Aww god OS reinstall? You be crazy mon. I did do a wow install and that's where Im stuck now. I uninstalled it and when I reinstalled it crashes ensued. These are from new DVDs too, facking crap they put out these days...
