giacobbe2795 · 01-09-2010, 05:36 AM

for some reason when i start up wow in pwnboxer and log in it trys to update the launcher and patch.
anyone know why this might be and how i can stop it?

im using windows 7 aswell so that might be the problem but just making sure

It means your WoW thinks its an old version. Try running the launcher and letting it patch.

Yup just means you need to patch WoW, that is all. If you have multiple installs of WoW, make sure your registry is pointing the patch to the correct WoW install.

tried running the launcher but when its finished downloading it just comes up with an error saying

Blizzard Updater was unable to start up.
This update does not need to be applied, it requires a version of "launcher.exe" older than 2.1.1.1374, but you already have version 2.1.1.1374.

so then i try running from the wow.exe where it downloads the patch again and comes up with another error saying

Blizzard Updater was unable to start up
This update does not need to be applied, it requires version 3.2.2.10505 of "WoW.exe", but you already have 3.3.0.11159.

its completely patched to 3.3 and im only using 1 install

yeah nevermind its still not working, i tried it on a different computer and it worked fine. should i try reinstalling wow?

Yea, something is wonky with your WoW install. A re-install should fix it.

First try the repair utility.

This kind of thing happens, when the registry thinks you have one version, but the game client is actually another version. Unfortunately, you need to reinstall 9 in 10 times, when this is the case.

Running Launcher.exe and the Repair tool can sometimes save you. As can, copying the Data Folder + Wow.exe of a correctly patched game.
