    Exclamation [Workaround found] Immediate login failure on Vista-64 since patch -- hardlinked dirs

    Hi,

    I'm using links to get the speed boost from the file system knowing that 3x progs are really accessing the same data. The linking worked fine up until this patch, and, in fact continues to work on the side box running XP. The main machine, running Vista-64, fails on login immediately (as-in not going out to the net)

    The main directory (the one getting linked to) logs in fine. (I don't normally use this directory, just testing if it worked)
    Any linked directory fails immeditately (log message below)
    Real (unlinked) copies of the main directly work fine, but of course I don't get the speed benefit.
    And, as I said, on the XP box the linked directories work fine.

    The message in the connection.log is:

    Code:
    6/28 09:31:12.837  GRUNT: state: LOGIN_STATE_FAILED result: LOGIN_NO_BATTLENET_MANAGER
    As I said, this fails immediately, it's not going out on the net to log in anywhere.

    Any ideas?

    Doing my best to get motivated for the WoW Headless Horseman mount hunt of 2013... so far failing. and now in 2018, let's see about those HH mounts! [Edit: Actually got an HH mount in 2018... on separate account 6. One to go! In 2019, my last BNet accout, the main one, got the HH mount. End of an era.]

    I multibox because I have no time, have a life, have a job and[/or] money and have little patience for drama and temper tantrums. -- heffner
