2.05 Patch has broke my WOW
« on: January 15, 2007, 09:40:17 AM »
At least I'm guessing that's what's happened.

WOW launcher runs, I log in, the patch download screen comes up (the one with the Moonwell backdrop), the patch gets to 100%, I press the "Restart" button and it closes down. Looks like the updater exe does not run?

I've read the posts about people who can't log in, or get DC'd while playing since 2.05, but I'm not getting to apply the patch.

I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, or to my other WOW installation.

ANOTHER patch? Christ...

EDIT - confirmed as working fine here.

EDIT 2 - hmm - seems like I spoke too soon. Logged out of WoW then restarted it and now it hangs on Retrieving character list.

EDIT 3 - seems like it's an Arathor only issue as I can get onto my UD Warrior on Bronzebeard

EDIT 4 - Brozebeard now keeled over, Arathor seems to be working again

OK, three reboots later, patch installed and WOW running.  

Sometimes I think I panic too easily

It's the servers practicing for Wednesday's clusterfuck.

I'm in your forum, trolling your threads...

Uther quit, Arthas re-rolled and the Order of the Silver Hand disbanded...but you still want to be a paladin?

Lagged out of AV with what I imagine was around 5 minutes to go. No mark when I logged back in to find myself back in IF. Gutted.

Well my patch doesn't seem to want to play, it says downloaded 0% at the moment so I might well be out of the running for the instance tonight.  Nevermind, loads more to have a look at come wednesday/thursday or whenever wow gets fixed:)
