Client 4.3.4 / Cant start it without Launcher...

[the-nightm4r3_]

Hey Guys!

Everytime i try to start my 4.3.4 (15595) Client its starting the launcher and will update it...

Is there a fix to block the launcher or something?

[the-nightm4r3_]

Dont work for me...

If i change the second line in realm List and start the wow.exe i got an "error".

It says i should check my network settings...

If i rename the launcher.exe i get an wow error /:

Did you compile and use the client patcher located at https://github.com/mangos/mangos-tools

and delete any temporary update files still located in the client directory

Yeesssss!

Now it works with the Patcher! O;

Thanks! (=

Hi,

It doesn't work for me.

I have deleted the updates folder

I have change my realmlist to 127.0.0.1

I have patch my wow.exe with the lasted patcher

When i start my wow.exe, it said i have a problem with my network.

The wow_backup start the launcher..

Edit: client works but when I'm connecting to my world, client stop at "Connected" and don't load the characters list

Make sure you have the expansion set to 3 in the db - mangos_realm>account table

That it, I must give expansion 3 to players...

Another bug, I have completely download WoW 4.3.4 but It download the game when I play ?!?

you need to apply the wow patcher BEFORE you play the first time to prevent your client from ever updating and never use the launcher.exe either..

[myraje]

Yes i have apply the patch before playing but it download the game a second time, but i have the full game !

Rename it and test.

check to see if your client directory has any of the update content downloaded and remove it. back when cata was released my client attempted to download a patch which i stopped in time but there were still update files in the client directory so even with my realmlist.wtf set to my server it was still trying to finish the update process.

Also try using wow.exe directly and not launcher.exe

You could also change the second line in Realmlist.wtf to localhost so that it cannot connect to Blizzard's servers to download/install the update.

Additionally, try unchecking the box on the login screen that mentions the launcher. This will bypass the launcher and start up WoW.exe every time even if you used launcher.exe to load the game.
