Unable to patch

#1 » Post by reservlampa » 25 Aug 2015 08:17

I start game and it tells me i gotta patch, when i patch it says theres nothing to patch or that the patching didnt work because of an already existing file. After a few tries it told me to contact support and try reinstalling. Couldnt find any support ticket system so i just figured id post on forum.

What Fice said. Use the game account you linked in the Account Manager page.

Just says server is down.

Now it says cant connect. Really wondering how this is "just download, change realmlist and play"

It is a simple "Download, change realmlist and play" You simply cannot comprehend easy steps. Thu-sly when you screw up, you rage that it's not "YOUR" fault, and it must be anothers. I really should start a youtube channel with videos. "How to login private servers for dummies"

OP: read this: http://www.primalwow.org/forum/viewtopi ... 92&t=15287

It should help you get started. Its not hard, don't blame it on the server.

WoW thanks for a link to the most obvious fix that's the first thing everyone try... so instead of insulting people i figured ill just ask this. Is there a GM or forum leader i can talk to? Seeing as how 50% of the people who responded here felt the need to insult. (especially love the insult about my play lvl when you have no idea what achievements ive done)

It sounds like your game patched to retail from what I read. Only option I think is to redownload and login using your forum/game account info and password. No @gmail.com or whatever, just the game account. Sorry everyone responding is a douche :)

Downloaded it first time last night :/ already tried redownloading it sadly. And not everyone is a douche, people just tend to forget that other people are worse at some things. Im not very technical but instead im a kickass rpger :P
ill try make a list of things ive tried:
realmlist
redownload
change pw, username, email, accounts etc
run repair
run patch
log in with different kind of names/pws etc
thats all the things i can remember doing atm

Hmm if it has patched at all then none of the other suggestions will work properly. I guess make sure you are on the 3.3.5 client (redownloaded), try logging in with username/PW. Make sure you use the one shown under "Linked Accounts" at http://www.primalwow.org/account-manager .

If that doesn't work then try the realmlist suggestions, change it in the .wtf file and there is some other file you might need to change as well.

Repair and patching will do nothing I'm pretty sure.

P.S. Are you Mac or Windows?

Where is your game located? Try moving the folder on Desktop or another hard drive partition.
Don't click on any launcher, just start the game using the "Wow.exe" program file.
Check if the realmlist from the realmlist.wtf file ( located in World.of.Warcraft.3.3.5a.Truewow > Data > enUS ) is indeed changed to " set realmlist logon.primalwow.org:3725 " .
Close your AV/Firewall and open the game, see if that works.If yes,try putting the Wow.exe on the whitelist in your antivirus and / or firewall.
Try running the Wow.exe as an administrator.

Hope you can play asap. :)
