so frustrated

[doggehcow]

Sigh
I installed the patch and my game would crash when I tried to login so I ran repair it said it coulnd't do anything

I reinstalled
I can't open launcher I get an error
I can't patch I get an error
I can't post on WoW support forum I get an error (Not really but my post doesn't show up I had to post multiple times just to get it to bring it up)

so basically ya no wow for me idk what the hell to do

[coglistings]

Well. I am guessing that you are doing your testing via opening a single original unaltered copy and update of re game. If that is the case can you say where in the loading of the game your game client crashes and if wow reports the error or if windows reports the error. I assume you are rolling with w7

[doggehcow]

well it was crashing after I clicked login but that's long gone I deleted WoW and freshly installed it (I backed up my WTF and addons folder)

when I go to open the launcher I get "Launcher requires write permission to the world of warcraft registry key to successfully locate and run the game. please enable write acess to the registry key using an administrator account"

I've selected run as admin, I've selected every possible user under security and gave it full permissions, I've moved it around on my computer and the only place it'll work is if I copy wow.exe and launcher.exe to the desktop it'll open from there but no where else

I go to patch from 3 to 3.2 and I get " Patch can't be applied because it is missing data for: "koKR". 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. (SetLanguage)"


edit: and yes I'm on windows 7 64bit

[coglistings]

if you are on 64 bit, there are some permissions issues that can come up even if you are running as admin. if you haven't already done so, disable uac entirely. clear your registary keys in regedit under hk_current user -> software -> blizard entertainment and hklocal_machine -> software -> "blizard entertainment" after you reuninstall. this should clear out any clue your computer has that wow were ever on it and the disabeling uac will correct the permissions issue.


gl and cheers

I am interested in your patching from 3 to 3.2 you have the patches locally cached on a file server or alternative computer or are you redownloading from the internet using the launcher?

both

after my saved patch failed with that error I used the blizzard downloader to re-download patch 3.2 and still throws that error

[doggehcow]

also I'm not too worried about the launcher because I found out it's updating straight to the new cata launcher and I think that might be the problem with all the old files in place because I've never seen the launcher error before

I'm mostly worried about just patching atm

[blast3r]

I run Windows Vista 64 bit and didn't experience any problems. Did you disable your anti-virus software? Sometimes that can cause problems such as yours.

[doggehcow]

Don't have any

[coglistings]

well, belive it or not, you may just be better off reinstalling windows itself and the fresh blizard download installer. you can drivexml your harddrive if you want to have a backup or if you don't have a spare hard drive to swap in. I haven't ever seen that issue on my systems so if you have done the reg key cleans, the uac disabeling, and you are updateing straight from the web, then its time to throw windows in as the culprit.
