ISBoxer World of Warcraft 7.3 compatibility fix is a work in progress. Stay tuned!

any updates

I am working basically around the clock on this, it is a complicated thing.

I feel like I am super close because I've completed the rewrite of my library, and am a ways into making the game properly load. I only slept 2.5 hours last night because I was aiming to have it out earlier today. At this point my main concern is to find a comfortable spot to lay down.

What they've done is "packed" the exe, which essentially means it has its own loader built into wow.exe (or wow-64.exe, etc) that runs before the actual game code. Well that's how Inner Space works in the first place, with a loader that runs in the process before the actual game runs (so the game links up with Inner Space). So I have to ensure that their loader is compatible with mine, and I kind of have to take it as it comes and cannot easily predict the next barrier.

My apologies on missing my ETAs thus far. I am pretty sure it's almost done at this point, and I feel like I can get it out after some sleep and another several hours of work on it. Once I've confirmed my loader is properly handling the game I will be able to provide a solid ETA on an update (at that point I believe it should be under 3 hours to get IS hooked up with the new version, and a development build available). Until that point though it's much harder to say.

On that note, I am going to go pass out. ETA on me waking up is no sooner than 6 hours from now

hope you fix it soon Lax, but make sure to sleep as well

Ha! As a Software QA guy, I can completely relate.

Thanks, is there anything else we can use in the mean time ? I have missed every day since the patch launched and I already have limited time to play

Don't stress out, Lax. It'll be done when it's done. No one's life is depending on it and you're working on fixing the issue. That's all we can ask, and atleast I personally am not worried about losing a few days worth of multibox gameplay due to issues that should not come as a full surprise to anyone.

Get ya sleep, have coffee and a bagel. Doctor's orders*.

Hey, why don't you also ask in Discord, the ISBoxer chat room, and directly to me in e-mail as well?
